can someone inform me of the appeal of the EOTech?
I mean, I'm straight noobing when it comes to military quality optics (which EOTech isn't... but it is priced as it is) but why do people love the EOTech over an Aimpoint or what not? I get its not a red dot its a "holo" sight... but its a dot in the middle of a 65MOA ring with notches at N E S W.
does it pick up that much better of a sight picture than a red dot?
info: currently i'm using a bushnell micro red dot while I am working on convincing the wife than an Aimpoint is a necessary purchase I've never used an EoTech or an aimpoint, all I know about the EoTech is it has a larger field of view through the sight.
Mine works good , every time and all the time with no shitting the bed.
I think is the wider field of view combo'd with easier eyes on target the holo sight grants.
Everything was smoking hot, but the EOTech was fine. Still, I'm not going to depend on something I don't trust.
Same here. You get your RMA authorization yet? I just got mine a few minutes ago. I'll be shipping it back tomorrow.
Mine too. Have dragged it through the woods, in the mud and transported it in my wet kayak. Has been mounted on a 12g and my Beowulf and works fine. Worked for the DM that just got back from Afghanistan in my last class too. We discussed this very topic for several minutes and his only complaint was the battery issue.
I was talking with a (former) marine who did a tour of Afghanistan a while back, he was putting together an AR setup and was emphatic about putting an EoTech on it. He never specifically said he used one over there, but I got the impression he did.
I like the fact that I can use iron sights through the EoTech, does anyone know if this is possible with the Aimpoints?

The battery drain issue is fixed by getting an Aimpoint.,,,,,,,

Hopefully, Eotech will be selling these refurb'd units at a significant discount to current pricing. I'd certainly pickup a 512 at the right price.
