Eotech still a no-go or?

That may actually force me to buy one without even a rifle for it.

Who said you had to have a rifle for it first?!?

The code probably won't work anymore, but they have 10% codes all the time. I have a few 10% codes I got from someone over on TOS that I can forward to a few people if there is interest. PM if interested.

Good deal. Sharing is caring! Thanks brother

Well, that proves it. EOTECH is awesome because you shot a dude using one.

I don’t have a home for the EOTech either, just do it.

Just delivered. Packaged beautifully. Very pleased the manufacture date is 10/25/17. This thing is a newborn and all the issues, real or perceived, history. Nice tight fit on the rail. Built like a tank. Image is super cool to look through.

Will zero on Saturday. Initially very happy. Already submitted for the rebate. $477.99.

That is probably helluva lot more than you've ever done with a rifle (or perhaps in general), unless you care to share your experiences.

Forum / Internet lore is only meaningful to members of that particular tribe. Maybe folks should come up for air now and again, and shoot their rifles a bit, look around, talk to some folks that actually go out into the world hunting armed men, and see what's what. Point of fact, a man who has kitted up and hunted armed men was just posting about the quality and reliability of this optic, which this forum--and many others around the internet--constantly repeat nonsensical shibboleths about.

And before anyone starts yammering about 'but but but they use what they are issued', there are plenty of folks that have their pick of the litter when it comes to what optics to run on their guns. Looking at the arms rooms of various units, one might see a trend: Eotechs with magnifiers on the Mk18s, and LPVOs on the other rifles.

An Aimpoint T1/T2/Pro/CompM4/5 etc. are fantastic gunsights. I personally use a Trijicon MRO (gasp!) on my carbine, and it has done just fine thus far.

Honestly, this whole question has been settled. The debate is moot. You either have a use for a 65 MOA ring with dot on an essentially zero parallax, zero lateral offset, high visibility, bombproof gunsight... or you don't. Is Eotech better than an Aimpoint? I honestly couldn't give a shit. I'd have to have each optic mounted on their own rifle, and then run those rifles into the very earth at varying engagement distances, using barricades & cover, on the move, in low / no light, with NODs & lasers, stacked up with a team, etc. to be able to weigh on which I thought was superior and why. Luckily, guys like GTF425 have already done that, and so I can choose to learn from their experience.

Were there documented problems? Yes. Were they addressed? Yes. Are there new model numbers out to reflect those changes? Yes. Have armed professionals gone headlong into gunfights with the previous versions? Yes. Do they go into gunfights currently with the new versions? Yes.

Can we move on, now?

Happy for you Butch I’m sure you’re going to enjoy it.

What’s your plans for zeroing? Distance wise?

25 yards because that's what I am limited to unless I pay or drive a long distance. Besides, that will give me POA/POI for any distance I plan on shooting. Most all my trigger time is 100 yards or less. Mostly less. That fact was another reason why I chose to get this optic over an LPV.
