Who carries the EOTech line in either ANC or the Mat-Su? Who has the best prices local or would I be better off ordering? Want to do some window shopping and see if I like them.  Ideas or opinions welcome.  Thanks.

Very good optic.  I would order online myself as I haven't seen good deals around town.  Aimpoint is another good optic if you can handle the single dot.

I preferred the AIMpoint after using them both.

Sportsmans Warehouse usually has one or two

As said earlier, I would order on line if you know what you want

Im sure there is some one in Anc area who would let you handle theirs before you buy one

IMHO, I woudl say go with the XX2 series that uses the AA batteries.  The little "n" batteries are a pain in the ass to find

I have both 512's and 552's with the only difference being night vision settings on the 552

I could have sworn I saw an Eotech in AK Tactical the last time I was there.  I wasn't shopping for them, so I didn't catch the price/model.

Im sure you will pay a ton for it there as well

Figure out what you want and keep an eye out in the EE

Considering the price on the item I was looking for and passed on because of price, I agree.

Me, I'd just hop on the internet for a company with friendly shipping policies.

Bravo Co or Quantico .

I had my heart set on an Eotech until I looked through the window of one .
Ended up with an ACOG instead.

I have a Bushnell that you are welcome to try out.

It hasn't been on a rifle for awhile now.  Its just collecting dust.

Personally I prefer it to the Aimpoint by a mile!

I think it is a 512, or something like that.

I'm in Anchorage.

Northern Security has some.  The Impact Area in Soldotna has some as well.

FWIW, there is a BIG difference between the Bushnell and the Eotechs
My buddy found out the hard way.  He wouldnt listen to me and listened to the store clerk who said they were the exact same site, only cheaper.

Order one on-line.  

I've use both the EO and the Aimpoint and like the 1MOA on the EO.

ETA:  On a side note, we just got issued a ELCAN SpecterDR at work...  I haven't shot it yet but the ability to go from 1x to 4x in intriguing.  Fucking this is heavy though.

What is finding out the hard way?

Did it catch fire and burn his house down?

The Bushnell was pretty cheap, but I've used it on half a dozen rifles, without an issue.

Now granted I have an ACOG on my goto rifle.

This guy swears by his Bushnell on his duty rifle!

I would order online, from these guys. http://www.rainierarms.com/   I have received my orders from them very quick, 2-3 days, and there shipping is a flat $6.95.  Even to AK!

Swat team member/Patrol Officer
Site failed in training
Didnt burn his house down, but what if it had failed in the crunch?


ETA: Bushnell did fix it without any issues for him.  They did make it right

WMy wife might not like the sentiment and I know we all need to watch our money these days;

but I do think you get what you pay for in most instances.
