"Eotech" knock-offs for .22

Chevyman85 · Nov 14, 2013

Anyone using the airsoft "Eotechs" on their .22's? I was thinking about one for my 15-22. I know there's other cheap red dots out there but I like the look of these without spending $500-700. I just want to know if they at least hold up to rimfire use? If not then I'll look at something else.

I have a Bushnell TRS-25 on my 15-22 -- under $100 with the mount. If you really want an EoTech they have a $60 rebate promotion now.... I found a government supplier that has the XPS 2.x series for $383 after the rebate. CMC will sell to civilians.

Check out the lucid m7...around 200 bucks and it has a reticle pattern similar to the eotech

I have one that I used on .22, .223 and 12G saiga, still works fine. But apparently there are also different levels of quality in knockoffs, so be careful.

Wanna know a secret? The IJK replicas will stand up to .223 recoil. It just turns off after every shot. Holds zero though.

The other clones do hold up to .22lr. GBBR has more kick then they do.

do you have one, if so did you have good luck with it?

I tried one off amazon and had major bloom issues with the reticle, and had the battery compartment strip/gall, didn't force it closed so if I cross threaded it, it was a very easy strip.

SCARCQB · Nov 14, 2013

I have one that sitting on a Tavor right now. I havent had to change the battery yet.

I really do not have issues with the reticle. By this weekend, the m7 will bebre assigned to a 12g shotgun. We will see if it can take the punishment from 3" magnum slugs.

Brownells is offering the EOTech XPS2-RF for $375. After the factory rebate you would be down to $315.

I have never ordered from them before but Classic City Firearms is offering a EOTech 512 for $400. By using the $30 checkout coupon "eotech" and the factory $60 rebate you are down to $310.

There is a thread in Rifles about used EOTechs at $325.

Dogabutila · Nov 17, 2013

Pretty sure those are all sold out though. They went really really fast.

Chevyman85 · Nov 17, 2013

I've checked the dealers that had the used Eotechs and they've been out for a while. I can get a new 512 from a dealer for $310 after dicount and the $60 rebate promo Eotech is running. I'm thinking that might be the best route.

I've used the sightmark eotech copy for over a year now. Now worries at all. Battery still going strong and I use it about 12 hours a month on average. I keep it on one reticle style because you do have to recheck it after changing reticles. A great buy at 70 bucks!

Those Lucid sights look interesting, although I wish they'd just tell us which products are made in china (really hate that).

huesmann · Nov 18, 2013

If it doesn't say "Made in XXXX" you should just assume by default that it's made in China.

Yeah, I know. All they say on the website is that SOME products are made in asia to keep costs down. Wont man up and tell us which ones!

I'm pretty happy with the lucid on my Tavor as well. I'm glad you suggested it.

Buyer beware. The rebate only applies to purchases from an authorized reseller. The list of valid seller's is on EOTech's website. See the fine print on the rebate form.

I use a chinese model on my MAC 10 in 45. Works great, never turns off unless you want it to, my only complaint would be that it is not as bright as I like

That fits a 3/4" dovetail.

15-22 (OP mentioned) has a Picatinney Rail. They are not compatible.

But that EOTech would be nice on many other 22s.
