EOtech alternative

[Kevrok805]

EOtechs are so dang expensive and I'm looking for something for my AR. Aany suggestions? And what's up y'all? Missed you guys it has been awhile still dealing with health issues.

Look at Primary Arms. Several solid options that won't break the bank. I've been using a micro dot for about 6 months now with zero issues. Plenty of great reviews both here and on the PA website.

Though they are about the same price as an EOTech I would suggest going with a Trijicon MRO, they will last as long as the weapon you put them on, just need to change the battery every few years

[Socal858]

Trijicon MRO's and Meprolight RDS's are pretty good. I've run a Meprolight on my BCM for a year and a half now and it's great

I just bought a Vortex Spitfire 3x Prism Scope and damn is it sweet! Brand new for $250 (love eBay) but even on Amazon its $305 right now.

They have a 1x model for even cheaper. Beautiful reticle on the 3x though. Red or green illumination option and since it's a prism scope, even if the battery dies there is still a reticle!

Does anyone know if the new Eotechs have been fixed after the floating zero issue?

Thermal drift still an issue. Have you seen the published statement on the EOTech page?

Thank you for that...

I still have my 512... Was on the cusp of returning it.. and still may. Where I live, I doubt I'll ever be using my rifle in 32deg or lower weather, but you never know if SHTF.

OP,

Might help if you specified what you were looking for... Are you in the market for something for close range? Or something with magnification?

Another who switched to the Vortex Spitfire, mine in 1x....love the prism sight with the etched reticle that is always there, plus illumination if needed, as it eliminates the astigmatism issue I have with red dots.

The $180 price I got it for was also nicer than the $450+......

What is your budget? That's going to determine what your options are. Honestly with optics, you should buy once and cry once. (:

[Kevrok805]

How about Burris or Sun optics? Budget is &150-$250
