Aimpoint vs. Eotech

[BlackRifle313]

Im trying to decide on the optic setup for my new AR that I will be using in 3 gun, so my question to you is Aimpoint comp M4 or the Eotech 512. Not so much a question of price but just the overall quality and your preference. Thanks!

I think aimpoint has been around longer,
For me personally, eotech's are better for fast target acquisition, and easier to use with two eyes, not that the aimpoint isnt easy, my personal opinion is the eotech is easier.
A lot of people prefer the aimpoint, due to a history of durability, and reliability.

My brother just came back from the sandbox, he said he met and worked with on a few occasions the "cool guys" and they all had eotechs, with magnifiers as needed, I think that is the ultimate testimony for reliability..... but as you arent going to be in battle so i think its up to preference.

I had both Aimpoint and EOtech when I was in the sand box.. lets just say I would bet my life with an Aimpoint.....

The only downside I've seen with EOTech's is battery life. Some say it's easier to pick up the dot for an EOTech, some say it's easier for an Aimpoint. Test both out for yourself at a shop and go with whichever you feel most comfortable with.

As for me, I went with an Aimpoint after shopping around. Simplicity and longevity of batteries was the selling point as I picked up both dots equally fast.

btw
stphnman20 , thank you for serving! I am forever grateful

also im not doubting the aimpoint for one minute, as I know it is a extremely popular optice, on account of its reliability.
Im just saying what he had told me, the guys that rolled up with one syllable names like "mike" "john" "bob", who had hk416's and computers integrated in their gear, rocking beards, rollin in bmw's white vans, and on occasion little birds, all seemed to use the eotech, not saying its the best, not saying its better than aimpoint, just relayin a story

Aimpoint - In certain condition Eotech washes out.

No problem..

Aimpoint all the way. I've seen moderate to severe abuse break EOtechs in real life.

edit: Sounds like Blackwater or Sphynx. 'Cuz we all know, no bearded guys rolled in bimmers, they were uparmored Toyota land cruisers Even the special community can't roll THAT good.

All the 'cool guys' I worked with personally had ACOGs. My rifle had an Aimpoint (yea, so I'm biased ) I only saw a handful of EOtechs during my time and 3 of them were broken.

I know exactly who he is talking about.. Those "guys" are giving certain things on that contract.. Thats why they all have the 416 top with an EOtech..

I think that soldier (or sailor), is the Navy seal that jumped on a grenade to save his buddies. Wow what an American!
