Here are my latest purchases. I picked up an EOTech 512 in Tan and I also bought the Magpul RVG. I chose the EOTech because I want a fast and easy to distinguish reticle. A single dot wasn’t easy enough for my eye to pick up. I really like the 65 MOA circle and 1 MOA dot. I wasn’t worried about having a battery last for 10,000 hours either. Would it be nice? Sure it would, but it isn’t a requirement for my needs. I also chose the 512 over an XPS EOTech because the 512 runs on AA batteries that are easy and cheap. Plus I figure if the world goes to hell, AAs will be easier to find than CR123s. The 512 isn’t Night Vision compatible, again, because I don’t need my sight to be night vision compatible.
I also picked up the RVG for my Stag Arms 2T. I chose this one over others because I wanted a short and light forgrip but one that still works easily with the Thumb Break Grip. I bought mine in Flat Dark Earth to go with the rest of my Magpul stuff.

Eotechs always fuzzy why?
I have been thinking about it so that I can have a lower 1/3 co-witness. But I am really used to it as a perfect co-witness now so I haven't fully decided. I have had to tighten the screw a couple of times. Kind of a pain and shows me that if I don't really lock the thing down, you never know if it might back itself out all the way so the sight falls off.
i would recommend the LaRue EOTech Mount QD (LT-110) its a bit price but if your going to stick with an Eotech loose the shitty screw mount for it
i used one when i was in Iraq i hated it but if it works for you then go for it
I'm happy to help.
Thanks man u helped a lot.
That's the million dollar question man. Unfortunately the industry hasn't decided on what the "true" shade of FDE is. Most companies have different shades of it. You'll find colors with names like FDE, Coyote, Tan, Sand and the like. I have a video where you can see how the EOTech matches Magpuls FDE. EOTech calls this sight Tan. Let me know if I can help you in some other way.
what's the difference between tan and daark earth? are they the same thing? please respond ASAP i need to know.
google eotech 512 FDE
google eotech 512 tan theres a screenshotof the add I posted on NWFirearms
I was the same way…. wtf …they arent made in tan, but I bought one and have it on my ACR
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. That is seriously the #1 thing people try to tell me but I know for a FACT it's a legit one. Now I'll have something else to point to for some verification.
There were a limited amount made and ordered by Sportsmans Warehouse back around Jan 2012 do a google I did a screen capture of the sale page. I payed $389 for it and its awesome. They never reordered any after.
As I've said before, I called EOTech with my serial number and they confirmed that it was in fact a real EOTech. Plus it would be weird for a large outfitting store to sell fakes.
It's in another comment further back. The store still has some.
It's actually fairly close. Check out my Magpul AVG video. You'll see the site front and center right next to Magpuls FDE color.
i love that tan 512 , how well does it match the magpul flat dark earth? i would like to see side by side .
Thanks man. I will. You too and thanks for watching.
Cool editing man, enjoy your toys and stay safe.
Look at the Sportsman's Warehouse website or if all else fails, call some of the stores. I know the Idaho store has sent some to TX before. But I love the sight. It is amazing.
Man I love the look of that 512 in tan. That looks really sharp. Been looking online for one in tan. Did you have to custom order it? Plus that 512 is as real as can be, don't know how that idiot said it was fake.
How much clearance does this Eotech get from the rail? I want one for my Saiga but I need to know if it would fit over the rear leaf sight. Thanks.
To bad when I called EOTech the confirmed it as real.
To bad thats a fake EOtech
