| 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. |

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. |

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. 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. |

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! http://www.ar15armory.com/forums/difference-Eotech-vs-Bushnell-t5760.html&p=67427 |

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!

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