Question on your zero check at the range, were you using a rest or something with each remount and 5 shot string?

Yeah it was benched in a sandbag rest at a known distance range. Zero wind, about 50 degrees OAT and 60% humidity at about 300 feet ASL if you were wanting that information. The groups didn't wander at all, but the rifle has plastic handguards with 2 MOA ammo so comparative group size and shift was negliable at best.

I don't think it'll an Eotech will ever have the battery life of an Aimpoint. They're pretty damn on batteries though. I just wish you could turn off the auto-shutdown that happens every 8 hours.

You are 100% correct, Eos will never compare to Aimpoints in battery life. Its the nature of having to project a bigger image on the Eos as opposed to a single dot on the Aimpoints.

I think it's more of the laser vs LED reason.
