Eotech and options...?

[Cagemonkey]

Can you co-witness with the aimpoints?

Yes you can.

No need for night vision. just magnification.

You can purchase a magnifier from Aimpoint. If not, you can look at various Trijicon models.

Whats the biggest difference between the T1 and the other M models size?? Its pretty much the same dot? I am surprised that the EOtech isn't liked more here. I would think the circle helps for getting up on sight. More so then just a dot.

It's much more about the lack of durability and reliability. Not all Eotechs fail, but, especially the older ones, they don't have the reputation for reliability and battery life that Aimpoints do.

I've used the T-1 out to 200 yards without an issue, beyond that, it's probably pushing it on my end.

The M4S is available with a 2 moa dot which helps for longer range use, and is damn near bomb proof.

I have been running a issued Colt M4 with an Eotech 552 for about a year and a half. I have to say, I do like the large "window" of the Eotech. I do not like the fact that in about 18 months it is on its sixth set of batteries, at least they are cheap AA batteries. When it dies, it dies at the wrong time. It also seems to bump from zero enough that I have to slide it several clicks up or down, left or right every quarter. If I could change out the optic (not an option) I would invest in either the T1 or give the M4 a try.

I have the 552 on my Rock River. I would say it works great, but I have never known anything different. I have never had any problems with it, comfortable with it etc. I think I may get the aimpoint just to expand my comfort level. I mean I have never really heard any major negatives.

I just ordered a 2nd XPS-0 yesterday. I am really impressed with this sight - but then again, I've been suing an EOtech for a while now.

I would love to get a T1, but we don't get to have that as an option. It looks like Eotech, or Vortex Strikefire for me. I'm choosing the xps 2

Looks like the h1 with a kz mount and a x3 with a Samson mount for 975 is the best deal I can get.

I have an Eotech 553 and I have had no issues whatsoever. I am going to order a T1 and because I am always looking for ways to lighten and get a lower profile, I am guessing that I will like the T1 better.
