It's only a 1 MOA difference between the center dot of the eotech and the aimpoint. When you dial the brightness down it even seems to make the 2 MOA dot smaller. The 65 MOA ring just seems to clutter the sight picture up for me and my eyes arnt what they used to be.

Eotech dot is 1 MOA, the PRO is a 2 MOA dot. Eotech dot is half the size of Aimpoint. I prefer the Eotech over Aimpoint, personally. |

Hmm... when folks say the Eotech obscures their sight picture... I have to think they haven't really used an Eotech or used it very much anyhow. The circle is SO large and thin and far away from the center dot that I can't imagine what it would obscure that is anywhere near the center dot.
Not sure how big these things they're hitting are at 100 yards or so... but there is a CLEAR difference between the holographic 1moa center dot of an Eotech and the 2moa red dot on an aimpoint. The Eotech is much better for shooting groups... Of course, not sure why anyone would be shooting groups with a red dot. :P Last edited by HK Dave; 10-12-2014 at 5:27 PM.. |

I've had my Pro for 3+ yrs. carbine class', Rain, mud, dropped a few times, still glows red when I turn it on.

As for why you would shoot groups with a red dot, the only reason I can think of is to do load testing, zeroing the optic, testing a mount's ability to retain zero, or similar. For actual use, there is absolutely no point to using a red dot for that. |

Interesting read. Somebody recommended the pro for an AR pig gun so I'm checking it out.

My PRO has held up to the recoil and abuse from a Saiga 12 for about 2 years now. Still lights up just fine when I turn it on, and the slugs still hit whatever the little red dot is on. Since this has sorta turned into an Eotech vs. Aimpoint PRO debate, I'll say this. I own both. The 65 MOA ring makes it really easy to pick up the reticle on the Eotechs. But a consistent cheek weld will make this a non issue with either. The battery life of Aimpoints is simply astounding. Bottom line, you'll be happy with either one. |

This thread is full of fail.
Op: if you've used them both, then none of our opinions matter, because you seem to already know which one you like better, andthe question you asked was which one is more durable. That's the aimpoint, hands down. All this arguing about people's preferences about the reticles is nonsense. /thread. |

The Aimpoint PRO are great for the price and for most guys this is all they will every need.
Tuff Great Batter Life Great mount Great price I prefer the Aimpoint Mico H1. We sale them and we offer CAL-GUNS price.

I have 2 and would be one for every rifle if I had the funds.
Awesome little affordable optic! For the price you won't beat it IMO. If you wait around till the holidays usually midway and some other companies can get as low as $360 shipped with sales and coupon codes. |

I'm trying to get Mike to get out and do make more now, he's been super tied up lately unfortunately. Oh and we're looking for a new person to record and produce the videos.

Just when I was getting a bit butt hurt about buying the wrong optic.
I would retain at least one or two spare batteries for SHTF and long duration under cover work. I keep mine off because my stance and grip are so fast I have extra time to turn it on, but getting extra batteries is something on my to do list.

Only red dot I own is an Eotech, rest of AR's use irons, I have model w just the 1 MOA red dot, really love it. Super fast target acquisition and that 1 MOA dot gets you pretty precise out to 200-300 yards depending on your eye sight.
Only down side I see is battery life vs Aimpoint. As far as durability, I would fully understand how just by looking at an Eotech vs Aimpoint the Aimpoint just looks like can take a lot more abuse, but I am surprised how many Eotechs I see mounted on military rifles in various pics off internet, on TV news etc |

They are legit, beat-to-hell Comps that sell at prices close to or higher than a nice, shiney new Pro.
