I use Aimpoints, specifically the T1. I used the M3 with a 2MOA dot for years before that.
When I first got into LE I was a big EOthingy fan but after having the batteries shit the bed at very inconvenient times, twice. Then the battery connection broke under static firing conditions, I'd had enough. I went back to shooting irons.
Not to long after that I ran into Freddie B. with Aimpoint. After watching him throw different models down the range (which was gravel) then throw it back on a rifle and blast away I was sold. I'm just as fast on the clock with the Aimpoint and I don't have a circle around my dot because for me at least it really blurred my sight picture for shots longer than about 50 yards.
Battery life there is no equal and I'd like to see an EO get thrown around and still hold it's zero. I just put a new battery in every January and leave it on 24/7. No more making entry on a barricaded subject and finding my reticle flashing at me saying "you better hurry up because I'm only going to be on for another two minutes."
That's just my personal experience so take it for what it's worth. My opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it.
Apologies to the OP for going off-topic. I dig your rifle and if the EOthingy works for you then get after it. My RDS comment was meant in jest, thus the smilie after it. Stay safe out there and I'm looking for that range report!![]()
