I say for iWatch lovers because the tech renders the battery good for only 50 hours at highest setting/constant use. This is not a deal breaker for me; I’m used to my Flir Zeus gobbling batteries in 3 hours or less during cold weather.
Back to tech, it has a HUD type display on a large EoTech format screen. Some is “tacticool” like a compass. Some much more useful: cant indicator (very useful on something like a Tavor), ability to swap reticle a through a Bluetooth app, ability to save profiles to the app for different zeros (either different platforms or 300 super v 300 sub), ability to zero automatically by shooting a group taking a picture with the app and the app automatically give you perfect zero based upon mean POI. Also includes a shot counter that lets you track either total rounds fired or counts down rounds remaining. That last feature is perhaps the most video games aesthetic.
Only real downside for me is the limit of only 1 year on warranty - but again, my Flir has trained me to deal with short warranties.
Despite the warranty/battery concerns I opted to pick one up and should have in hand from midway later this week. The other option was a Sig Romeo 8T (which I’ll probably pick up for one of my PCC’s). I almost pulled the trigger on another EoTech, and was seriously considering an Aimpoint - but I don’t like the single dot setup.
I’m kind of excited to try out the tech. I didn’t even know they existed; Mepro has a way of staying under the radar (only found because I got to thinking it’d be cool to have an Israeli optic on an Israeli rifle).
Anyone tried these before? I will update this thread with a range report when I get it and have a chance to get it out...
