Many of our choices in gear are ultimately subjective opinion. Your specs on operating temperature ranges would most likely impact your use on the lower range only, as the only probable way the optic would see the maximum temperature range of the H2 is if left in a vehicle during hot weather. Considering your focus on SHTF as a determining factor, 140F is a possibility, albeit seemingly unlikely.
I believe the Aimpoint is a better choice than the Eotech because there is a 99.988% probability that the Aimpoint will function flawlessly, especially when you really need it. If you like the Eotech primarily due to the much larger field of view, I suggest you consider the Meprolight Mepro PRO (Mil-Spec M5 version). I have several of them and they are excellent.
“All the people constitute the militia – according to the Founding Fathers. Therefore every able-bodied man has a duty under the Constitution to become part of the ‘well-regulated’ militia, specifically to understand and perform well with the individual weapon currently issued to the regular establishment …. Thus one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen.”
Colonel Jeff Cooper, USMC May 10th, 1920 - September 25th, 2006 WWII Korea
