The reason is because it's not anywhere near as rugged. It has no "roll-bar", etc. The basic design is the same, but the execution is a bit different.

eotech builds them for bushnell. they are the same units.
I have had one on my bushy for 2 years. It's taken some abuse and never missed a beat. I think they are well worth the money. I prefer mine over aimpoints. TO me it is a faster sight. mike |

Yes, they are made by the same company, but the EOTech sight utilizes an aluminum hood and advanced controls. If I'm wrong, please correct me. Also, the original poster listed $259 as the cost of a Bushnell sight. Well, for a couple dollars more, you can buy an EOTech! Infact, someone is selling one in the classifieds for $250, delivered. If you're interested, jump on it!!! It's a good deal... |

according to the eotech website it depends on the model. The Bushnell is the exact same as the 500 series eotech.
The 510 is the same as the 500 but has the protective cover. the 550 is the military version. same as 510 but compatible with night vision gear. I have the 500 series and have shot with both the 500 and the 510. Other than the cover i saw no difference in them. As for advanced controls you basically have a up and down arrow for brightness control. They also serve as power on and off. |

My take on this is; wait for an Eotech on EE. I got my display unit (never used, just mounted for a display gun) for $250 shipped ... right here on EE. It's a 511. I got a chance to compare it with a fellow AR15er's Aimpoint this past weekend and I have to say I like my Eotech better. That large window really helps.

Hey Guys,
The Bushnell sights are being sold at Cheaper than Dirt for $224 right now. I've never done business with CtD and don't have any experience with the sight but am just passing the price along to you.

I have a holosight 2 with 1 moa dot that I got last year at this time new for $149.99 from natchez shooters supply it's a great sight don't see how an eotach is worth that much more unless your using it in combat situation

I can't believe that you found the Holosight 2 for $150. That is significantly lower (about $100 less) than any other place that I can locate on the web. Have any idea where to get it for this price?
Also, the one you have IS the Holosight 2 and not the original Holosight correct? And $149.99 is not a typo? Sorry, just curious. Thanks! Drivie |

I have a Bushnell Hollosight II and I used it with my M-16 especially my 22 LR subgun upper. I can't comment on other optics but the Hollosight II worked great with my 22LR upper and it was a much cheaper alternative to the better systems.
I agree that the optic seems rather fragile and if I was betting my life on it, it would be quick to go! Perhaps some day I will buy better optics but it serves my needs. For now, this is going to get mounted on my M4 upper as I do like how it works. Heck, this is why we use BUIs right.... JUST KIDDING.... but I am serious that mine works just fine even though I wouldn't want to go into combat with it! |
