Matt delves into another popular optic- the EOTech Holographic Sight. Frankly, we love Holosights, but the price can hurt the wallet sometimes. It just so happens that there are some pretty popular knock-off clones on ebay. But are they any good? Do they work? Are they a bargain? Or garbage.
Contrary to what the video suggests, there is no link for the product. This is due to YouTube guidelines.
It appears most if not all of the sellers are selling the same clone.
**Update: Most other sellers on ebay now list these as being for airsoft. But not all. Interesting.
Let us know what other knock-off/clone/budget versions of equipment/gear you’d like to see! We have a few more of these already planned, so stay tuned!

Due to YouTube Guidelines, the direct link to the clone I purchased on eBay has been removed from the description. I will say most of these clones are identical it seems.
How is the parallax effect on this?
You actually do a great job comparing differences, as well as explaining how the glass, light, differ. You would think this would have been done already on YouTube, but honestly your video is very comprehensive on this subject and not just a “review”.
Rubbish in = Rubbish out
7:43 is how I feel during most of my videos 😂😂
I’ve wondered about these things. Great video, thanks!
I purchased a “eotec” on eBay last year. Oh my goodness it went back right away. It’s hard to describe what the issue was but the best I can describe is it was so blurry and the lens warped the image. Total junk
I would never dream of buying a 320/M17/M18, but Sig's budget optics are pretty decent. They aren't $50, but not much more either. I don't really beat the hell out of my rifles and optics like I used to, so I don't actually need a holographic sight. A cheap shake awake Sig Romeo works fine. I do like that you guys try out this budget stuff so we don't have to, and was wondering how they were making holographic sights so cheaply and now I know they don't. Thank you for that.
I have the 552 and g33 clones on my ruger 10/22 and its holding zero after 250 rounds. I read good comments about using it on 223/5.56 ARs maybe you got a bad one, great video btw.
That's crazy, mine works perfect. I love it for 84 bucks with the g34 magnifier. I got it zeroed pretty quick and haven't touched it in 500 rds.
