Eotech 558 Optic/G43 Magnifier Clone: Is It Worth the Hype?

Merch – https://thetacticalllama.creator-spring.com

i've been searching and watching over the last hour for clone reviews. this is the first channel i found that put one to the test on a firearm.

I got it for 28$ ALI flash sale LOL

I use a laser bore sight to get optic close before going to paper at distance

funny.. I had one on order and it just now showed up on the doorstep.. haven't even taken it out of the plastic bags…. just looking at it seems legit and well built… can't believe you can get this set for less than $100 delivered to your door…

Boohoo. You have to drive. You have to talk, you have to film. You have to edit.

Don't just quit. Or quit your bitchin

My set up is gonna be real etech plus clone g45. Eventually ill get real but what if the g45 stays and works fine😮

I could tell u fellas arent really knowledgable in terms of pews yet. Its a term called bore sighting. Ar’s can be bore sighted😆

Mine is bright as hell I can't change the color on mine though. But for a clone it's decent it'll atleast get ya out there shootin while you're saving for a real one

Quick tip how to zero your optics, secure your gun pointing to the target ONCE, then without moving the gun (keep pointing to the target) adjust the dot/reticle pointing it where the shot hit, then move the pointing to the target. One shot PERFECT ZERO.

I ordered the two clones (see below) from EOTech on AliExpress on February 23, 2025 and the goods were delivered by DHL on February 26!

And now for the price, I only paid 67.39 euros for both items including shipping and the workmanship is top-notch! Even the labeling, whether on the plastic box or on the devices, is absolutely identical to the original EOTech!

EOTech EXPS3-0 NV TAN Holographic Sight and EOTech G43.STS Magnifier

The original two parts cost 894.00 euros and 750.00 euros, so a total of 1644.00 euros.🤩

"FYI" TEMU actually has the Eotech 558 Optic/G45 Magnifier Clone.

As someone that is coming from about 12 years of airsoft and dealling with these clone eotechs, some are brighter than others green is definitely better in some cases in daylight (to my eyes)

But as im getting my hands on real steel stuff i see that quality of certain items is intrinsic , now will that clone hold zero after a few thousand rounds maybe and for the price its serving its purpose , but things like handguards , stocks even some polymer irons are barely different at 3x the price for "real" now the clone market is getting better and better every year , and now theyre starting to do potting to retain zeroing ,

Most gun shows out here in commiefornia are flooded with chinese crap that most airsofters cringe at , hell most airsofters are running some pretty gucci kit

Oh boy. You have to drive an hour. Tooooo shoot. And hour is nothing so stop it. Makes ya sound like Nancy.

95 percent of the scopes made in the world 🌎 are made in China and private. label for the optics company there's about three main ones that are in china .

Hey, Ive seen so many uploads here where they slate this 558/G43 clone. You spend loads of time setting this up so as to give a solid review and an honest one. Ive just bought one and will take time to set it up then hopefully it'll do me just perfect. Thank you guys for this!👍🏻

You should have used it with out magnifier to see if its possible to aim with it…

Why do you keep calling it a 558 clone

Does it Hold Zero after some real work

👍😎👍

Learn to bore sight. Saves a lot of ammo trying to zero like that. Shouldn’t take more than 5 rounds MAX to get a proper zero.

I hunt at night. I understand these are clones, but are you picking up any blurs looking through the site

The target is actually my brother in law. He works for Sig and posed for it.

Use a new target you cheap buggar

Ordered mine today! Also running a 9mm setup! Fingers crossed! Great video as well. Proof is in the pudding it seems

well that was a huge waste of time

you can zero de magnificador clone?

Cool rifle. S&W does it again

Is this an actual holographic or just an RDS in the shape of an eotech?

That’s an EXPS2/3 model not a 558 bro. 558 is a hybrid cross between the EXPS2/3 and 512/18. Additionally which uses AA batteries not CR batteries that your current EXPS model uses. Still very much a nice buy and sight either way though

I just got this today, it looks like with the magnifier, your eye is about 6-7 inches from the scope. If I get more than 4 inches, the view becomes microscopic. I really need it at 3 inches or less to have a good view. Also, with and without the lifter, the sight on the reflex is only clear if I'm bottoming out my view, if not, it's usable, but it's stretching the reticle.. Any thoughts? I've adjusted the up and down to no avail.

Why not just use a laser bore sight to get on paper?

Who in their right mind would waste money in a cheap Chinese clone junk.

Nice vid,I have 1 just got it but seems to have double vision maybe the batteries you mention,

Nice video, thanks mate. Do you know the "brand" of this clone? I've been looking to buy one for my TAC R1, don't want to sell a kidney to buy a second real Eotech. I know that Holy Warrior makes the finest EOTECH clones (with real holographic reticle, or red dot, depending on the price, both with NV capability).

Just ordered the kit hopefully it hold zero on a 556 it should not much recoil there is yours still working and good video thanks

What about the magnifier I already bout an the holographic sight just need the g43

Love mine on my ruger pc9. Holds zero amazingly.

Did you Bore sigh? Or, are you just winging it?

I was thinking about this for my sons m&p 15-22

Nice start. Try adjusting it 10 (or 20) clicks left, then up, then right, then down. Recheck the zero. You don't have to fire shots at each setting, just make the adjustments and see if it returns to zero.

ive beenlooking at many videos on these sites and you are the only one so far that has actual info on the performance. nice work.

S&W Response lol.. Did you send that toy in for the recall yet?
