EOtech/ 4 MOA Shift

"There is no other reference in the FOV of an aimpoint to apply extreme leads against full value human beings sprinting for their lives..."

Damn straight. The 65MOA ring is not only great for rapid target acquisition, but great for leading movers. Inside of 100m, lead the target with the edge of the ring and it'll drop squirters with surprising effectiveness.

Yet many, including myself, have run them in combat on deployments without issues downrange. My only problem showed up a year after demob with the unit shutting-off mid-recoil. That was the old battery spring problem that was solved by the shorter, lateral battery mount. No doubt this situation will continue to fuel the Aimpoint vs EOTech war, but it's not like the optic is total crap. It's just not as durable as we thought and more relevant to this discussion, the vast majority of folks here aren't going to be affected by the issue.

Agreed Brando. While I want a durable optic it seems that most here think deployment to a conflict zone is imminent. I am retired LE and prior grunt and know the life of small arms. I take care of my tools as I my armory is my wallet. My two 512 a65 & XPS 2-2 & G33/ 3.25x magnifier serve me very well. I'm contemplating the G45 5x mag which hopefully will debut for Christmas sales and with a rebate.
