Video is way old. I don't remember what was on it at that time. however if you have a M4 type carbine rifle I highly recommend the Midwest Industry Drop-in Gen 2. It the most solid, straight, and light weight one I've used. Plus it's not too expensive. Long as your barrel nut is aligned it will work great. Primary Arms has them for good price. To see rail search my videos for "Streamlight PROTAC HL AR15 Carbine Option" It's in that video
when you have a new scope. Start out at 25 feet. Then go back to 50 feety and so on. The EOtech is stae of the art (military grade) Take it one step at a time.
you can co- witness with the sight…… you just don't use the front post as your site adjustments…. if you have a battery failure you can look right through the Eotech and use your iron sights…. Co-witness……. that is one of the reasons I decided on this type of site…..
@NOLA556 …oh yeah it cleared right up on the range at distance!!! Check out my channel page for an awesome discount. 50% off on a Aimpoint 3X magnifier with mount for your eotechs. Its a smoking deal!!!! Plus free gifts with it, when you use the coupon code I give in video.
@modeltrain9500 …shop around for it. Some sites have sales on them. I would not pay more than $365 shipped for a new one. If you buy used make sure it has the plastic case and not the styrefoam case. Not sure on that spelling of that…LOL Dont pay more than $300 shipped for a used one. The 512 is the cheapest one around, but is the same guts as all the others. Good Luck
I asked the guys at the range anything about it and they said they dind't know anything about it…. typical lol. so what do i have to do besides going there on 1st tues at 6pm? any signing up, talking to anyone or antying?
Thanks@fatboyR6
hell yeh bro,i just bought 2 eotech 512's and i just got a chance to use them on sunday…….impressed 100 % eotech is flat out the best one i ever used,,,,,,,,bar none.
@slowsword ….yes sir it is. If you shoot carbine come out the first Tuesday of the month and do drill. Rapid fire all you want. Plus you learn tactics etc. It starts at 6PM
@fatboyR6 Yeah i like the 25 bzo my self cuzz i know my holds
if you zero at 25 you will be 2 inches high at 50 5 at 100 7 at 200 it drops after that and your 0.77 of an inch high at 300 this is measured in a vise of course minus 6 at 350 and minus 16 at 400. There is a book colded green eyes and black rifles you'd love it. Everyone who has an ar should get it.
@Vietboy1st …yup total rookie move. It's funny now but it wasnt at the time. I did get a magnifier and a 516 eotech. Ive since sold them all and have a tactical scope that costs way less.
@krazzykid96 ……we are both right. Its a personal preference. If you tilt your head back a bit the reticle will move above the front post sight and not co-witness. When I made this video all the sight picture options were all new to me, so I did a lot of trial and error with what sight picture I used. I eventually removed A2 front post sight and just used the eotech and a magnifier. Check out my channel for those videos.
No offense, but what your friend told you about co-witnessing doesnt make sense… I was just at the Sheriffs Office yesterday, and I was looking at all of the tactical carbines and rifles. I picked one up with an eotech on it, and the red dot fell right on top of the front post when I lined up the sights. Also, every other person's video about eotechs (that ive seen) didnt have problems with co-witnessing.
@fatboyR6 where did u get it from an what mod was it i have been looken at them on cheaper than dirt they say the ones under $100 only last a yrs so im guess the other 1 they have for like $500 is the 1 im gonan need
@deParisDan ….thanks dude. I have since sold all my Eotechs and gone with tactical scopes. I like the illuminated Reticle over a Holo image. Big difference in clarity. IMHO.
I figured thats what you meant, but wanted to be sure. I hate waiting for the UPS Man!!! I'm stuck here at my house thursday waiting for shit too. Good Luck!!!

cool video, thanks for the review. I'm ordering one today. I like the quad rail you got on your AR, which one is it?
were u shooting with one eye open? eotechs are meant to shoot with both eyes open.
"im fucking happy as fuckin shit man"

eotechs are pre-sighted in from the factory at 50 BZO. If your going to fine tune it I highly recommend bench shooting it.
cool man. It's a great optic. I've kinda switch to Aimpoint though. I love the 2 moa dot, and of cousre the insame battery life.
I just picked up my 1st EOtec 512 – good review just subbed!
Install the optic? what do you mean?
thanks for the video man keep up the good work.
well… when you look THROUGH the site its really crisp. but when you look directly at the reticle its gonna be blurry.
LOL Markham park target range… I go there all the time

@Dre6k ….an M4 Carbine is a type of rifle. I true M4 Carbine is made by Colt with a 14.5" barrel with M4 feedramps. Just google M4 carbine dude.
@fatboyR6
Thanks for the advice!! Where would you suggest I look for one of these?

"get down dirty up in there" . . . . thats what she said
Great video and review, I plan to get one of these
@slowsword …you just have to show up around 5:45pm the first tuesday of the month. Ask for Rob, Kevin or Rodger. They pretty much run the show there.
I asked the guys at the range anything about it and they said they dind't know anything about it…. typical lol. so what do i have to do besides going there on 1st tues at 6pm? any signing up, talking to anyone or antying?

@edwardb94 …yes all new eotechs come with the foam lined plastic case.
helpful review. I just ordered mine. do you know if they all come with the plastic case?
@fatboyR6
Ok, i was just a little confused…

@curtispa …I used the Eotech G23 X3 magnifier. There latest model. I payed close to $500 for it from some place on the internet.
No offense, but what your friend told you about co-witnessing doesnt make sense… I was just at the Sheriffs Office yesterday, and I was looking at all of the tactical carbines and rifles.
