My overall impression on the EOtech series of optics in general. My opinions (baised on my experiences) are the reason why this would be #2 on my list of optics that I would trust my life to. But either way, they are still great optics.

Hey bro I'm sure you know they had issues with some of there scopes would you know the years they had the issues with I would really appreciate if you can help me with this question thank you
Great video and thank you for the very useful information! I appreciate you!
I dont think the battery life is that big of a deal. In the Army we use aimpoint close combat optics, which uses 2 AA batteries. You just need to make sure you turn it off when not in use, and carry around extra batteries.
The power issues rule this out for me. I want my optic on and ready. 1000 hours is shit.
EoTech works better for some people with astigmatism as well. I'd rather get an Aimpoint, but the dot looks lik a 8 moa smear
I LOVE MY EOTECH. HAVE AN AIMPOINT ALSO. BOTH ARE GOOD.
SO ARE YOU LIKING EOTECH OR NO. I DONT UNDERSTAND. MY EOTECH WORKS GREAT. BEEN
AS GOOD AS MY AIMPOINT.
Great review. I personally like the EOTech because it's parallax free and has a wide window. I would agree with your points though. Is it tough….yeah tough enough. It's not an aimpoint though!
Are you even old enough to own a rifle ?
I HAVE BOTH. EOTECH ON MY SCAR16 AND AIMPOINT T1 ON MY SCORPION. BOTH WORK EQUILY GOOD.
after a while, if u are used to your rifle, one can look through the glass, see your front sight, and hit your target. even with the optic off. love my fixed fsb! training training training
They do like to get dirty but i have been using them for 11 years and after real hard use i have never had a issue. battery life sucks true and they do brake but so do Aimpoints i own them both they both work very well for me and i beat the shit out of my gear during training Never had a issue with EOTech
Any issues with your eotech so far arg? Thanks
what kind of warranty do these have?
Hey bro great review 👌 I just picked up a 552 manufactured in '03 from a buddy for $50.00 I guess he didn't know what he had (was given to em by his friend in 10th mountain) if I'm not satisfied, well hopefully I can take advantage of the buy back program from Eotech!
Everything breaks, hence BUIS.
What are you going to say next? that your magpul handgaurd is crap because rocks can get inside the top and damage your gas tube?
when I paid that price, and they do not do what they are supposed to……I get my refund…..and just continue to buy AIMPOINT.
I just got a eotech and I love it.
what kind of rear iron sight is that?
What's the thing wrapped around your magwell?
I sold my EOTech XPS2-1 and got an Aimpoint T2 with zero regrets.
I'll buy this one just for fun. Cause my AR is just a range toy. Maybe I'll upgrade it to an Aimpoint when I'm more familiar with the rifle. By then I can put this on my shotgun.
Nice 512… Semper Fi
Aimpoints are much tougher.
Are you kidding us with this review? You have seen many optics go down because people got mud inside the shroud and that caused the lens to break… and a soldier can't remember to touch the optic in 8 hours so it won't shut off. He must be pretty busy to not have 5 seconds every 8 hours… rubbing side of rifle on things such that the (recessed) screws get "squishy" and misaligned. Perhaps the Eotech breaks more than the Aimpoint, I do not know. Yet, many points made here are ridiculous! If one is getting mud and beating the rifle against things, then maybe they need to take better care of their rifle as well!
EOtech all the way. 1st American made, secondly its the best shooting optic on the planet, thirdly the XPS2 fixed all the problems I had with the 5xx series. And if I want to buy anything "better" I'm getting a Trijicon.
It's funny that he doesn't mention that it's a clone not a REAL Eotech.
Any updates to this since the whole "military breach of contract" thing?
So what's your first choice? Magpul open?
