    I must say, I do HATE the very minimal battery life, with the "N" type batteries. But, for fast acquisition, and targets under 100 yards, the EoTech can't be beat, in my opinion. It serves well for this rifle's intended purpose (except for the battery type ).
    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!

    newbie lookin' for BCM info

    Y'all BCM savvy, so help this po' newbie out....

    I was lookin' into an LWRC M6A2 or a Novesly N4 light....

    Someone mentioned..."save you funds and buy a BCM upper and good lower..."

    So what am I looking for to build a complete 14.5" on par with the Noveske N4 or LWRC M6A2...?

    "Urban Tactical" jungle use (ie. home or 2-legged varmint eliminator)....and I ain't big on muzzle flip, so I'm already chasin' down that piece...

    THANKS

    I'd love to have a 'factory' BCM 11.5 SBR rifle so that I don't have to jump through the engraving hoops for a homebuilt.

    Looks like Colt or Noveske for me for now

    Engraving is pretty easy. After yousend in the Form 1 and you're killing time for the next 90-120 days just send it off to one of the many reputable engravers and you're done.

    Trust me your lower will be back before your tax stamp. Same wait and you can build to your specs. Just saying.

    Grant will have some BCM SBR lower groups, in the next few months.
    Just waiting for all the paperwork to finish circulating.

    Thanks very much to everyone for their kind words.

    No harm, we're on the same team!

    Truth be told, I do think I could do better than the EoTech. I have looked at the T-1, and really may go that route, when funds allow. But, I just can't get over that 4 moa dot. The EoTech's 1 moa seems large enough most times. Do you have trouble with the 4 moa dot on small targets, say, at 100 yards?

    Oh, the range report: as expected, it functioned like a top with my reloads and some PMC. I only had time to zero it, and burn 60 rounds, but will try to get to the range in a few weeks, and get it warm.

    I dont believe the EoTech dot is 1 MOA. I think its closer to 2 when you have the brightness setting at a usable setting. Compare the dot size next to a true 1 inch dot at 100 yards...Ive done it numerous times, and the EOTech dot has always been a little bigger for me. A true 1MOA dot would be very fine in size.


    Also the T1 dot is closer to 3.5 MOA. This from Aimpoint and Pat Rogers. Ive also compared these...M3 vs. T1, and the T1 dot is slightly smaller than the 4 MOA dot in the M3.

    Just something to think about.
