eotech

please include
-how easy/difficult it was to zero

Its easy! Just like any other. You might need a spotting scope/binos to dial it in at further distances.

-what yardage you zeroed in at

I started at 15 and then 25yds using 3 inch shoot-n-sees from WalMart. Then 50yds using 3 inch shoot-n-sees. When 75% of my shots were hitting it, I was good.

-how accurate

I can hit 100 yd plates, no problem. I tried 200, but I cant tell if I am hitting them, it a bit far for me.

-likes/dis-likes

I WISH THEY WOULD HURRY WITH THIER MAGNIFIER!!!! HURRRRRYYYYY.


-overall impression[/QUOTE]

Im looking for a deal on one right now.


What really made me decide on the optic was experience. I have friends that have aimpoints, eotechs, tri powers, etc... I tried them and the Eotech was the one that I liked.

Aimpoints are cool too, but for reason, I didnt like the "feel".

Just a little EOTech story of mine. Ill let others give techincal advise.

I was at a local shop In NY (Special Arms and Munition) Picked up a EOtech for a build I just finished that day. As I was checking out they told me about a Tactical carbine course they were have that night and the next day. I jumped aboard and took the class. The second day at the range I zeroed my EOtech for the first time. At the end of the class they set up a Combat course. This was my first time with This new AR, The EOtech, and my first combat course. I came in second with a time of 34.?? seconds behind the guy in first at 32.?? seconds, that was a seasoned 3 gun comp. shooter who BTW also used a EOtech.

I now own 3 EOtechs a 551, 552, and 512. Im also a ML2 Aim Point owner as well.

anyone care to share their experiance with their eotech sights?

Speaking as an ex-Aimpoint guy I have grown to strongly prefer EoTech's now. The increased FOV and 1 MOA dot are what converted me originally. Stick with the AA battery powered models for the increased battery life and you will be pleased.

-how easy/difficult it was to zero

No problem at all.

-what yardage you zeroed in at

50 yards.

-how accurate

It will certainly not hold anybody back under 300 yards. I think the 1 MOA center dot is a big plus in regards to accuracy.

-likes/dis-likes

Likes:
(1.) Great FOV
(2.) Great reliability
(3.) 1 MOA center dot for longer-range accuracy.

Dislikes:
Shorter battery life than an Aimpoint.

That being said, I still do not consider the AA battery powered models life span to be "Bad" at all.

I have the EOTECH 551

cheaper than aimpoint and ready to mount as is.

I like it alot, fast easy

if I had to pick only 1 it would be the aimpoint



I also have a Aimpoint ML2 and still useing the same battery since 01
