My new 552 came in the mail today.
$426.50 on Ebay with free shipping. Got $42.65 off (Had a 10% off coupon that Ebay had sent me that expired 11/30 at midnight) Got $127.95 back from the Live.com cashback. Total cost to me = $255.90 It's pretty. 
Think I'm going to pick up another one of the Millett DMS-1's now.

I just saw a 551 on sale for $380. Is that a big step down in quality from the 552 ? Same critter. The 551 is slightly smaller due to the different batteries used in it. I wanted the 552 because AA batteries are more common in my house than N cells. I did a little research after I posted that. I'm thinking maybe I want something without batterys. I went to the EE and under Optics/sights there's a guy selling a bunch of ACOGS less than 1/2 price. He says they are new old stock and unused police returns. What do you think of a Trijicon TA44-2 for $400 ? |

I have one of each, the batteries last slightly longer with the N cells, but they are about twice as much to buy. I use Duracells in the AA one and they seem to last about 72 hours, the N's (energizers) last about 90-96. Both these tests were done with full brightness.
ETA: Damn good price. |
