Saw one on a roni and they look sweet. Was thinking of getting one for an AR9 im building

[CouchOperator]

No. Why, for the love of all that is holy, would you even consider that over an Aimpoint or Eotech?

[AreWeFree]

I remember reading about that quite awhile back.

No, seriously no.

[AreWeFree]

Out of curiosity, what about that sight intrigues you?

[robledo]

LOL Aimpoint PROs can be found new for $400ish and used for a deal less than that.

Many shooters are desperate to sell Eotechs after the lawsuit.

Do you even need a night vision capability? You could get a new Eotech 512 for $400.

[Kwikvette]

So many better options...

[thcrusadr]

If i wanted an aimpoint i would buy one, i dont. Im looking for opinions on THIS optic, not whats i should get instead. Why is that so hard

I dont want an eotech ive owned them and sold them. i dont like them. I dont like the aimpoint pro either. Im well aware of those optics i want info on this optic. If youve never had one or used one then butt out im not interested in what you would get instead

Correct me if im wrong, but i believe my upbringing within an English education system has led me to believe this:

"CAA Red dot ANY INPUTa contribution of work, information, or material.
"there is little input from other professional members of the team"
synonyms: contribution, offering, idea, opinion
"I value your input"

[thcrusadr]

Any input on the optic itself im not looking for "get an aimpoint or eotech" thats just stupid everyone knows aimpoint and eotech, do you have an aimpoint or an eotech on every single rifle you own? Me personally i like different optices, i have DI optics, sig romeo, a couple primary arms etc. I dont like aimpoints and eotechs so i dont really care if you like them over this optic.

I believe this optic has a rechargeable battery and (checks the spec sheet) ergonomic design with an unique angled rear activation button.

Actually i have an aimpoint micro on every single rifle i own, so yes that statement would be accurate.

Easy there skipper. Serious or frequent shooters recommend gear that has actually been tested by years of actual hard use and combat in the GWOT. It is what it is. It would be irresponsible to not do so.

I'm sure at that price point the optic is fine durability-wise. Button placement is fine. All of the USB cable - type "customization" and recharging features seem really gimmicky. The two lines on either side of the dot are gimmicky considering the type of shooting one does typically with a red dot. The forward brightness adjustment grip thingie is certainly an interesting idea, but also a bit corny and it's just another item to crowd the front end of your rifle if you use lasers, weapon lights, grips, etc.

So why bother posting then? Not everyone likes aimpoints or wants every single optic they own to be one.

Please refer to my previous post regarding the title of your thread and the definitions included. It took me like, 45 seconds of my life so have the decency to at least acknowledge the hard work.
