Best place to purchase an Eotech

[ledman]

I have been looking for an Eotech for my AR...any suggestions on a place that has a good price? I have been searching around, Ebay has some, not sure about those, some seem to good to be true, even though they say they are real Eotechs...how do I know they are not for an Airsoft? Models numbers? I am looking at a Eotech XPS20 for $439 shipped from ebay. Is that a decent price?



Thak you!

Why not buy used, or like new in the for sale section? Some good deals in there.

Yeah, I have been checking there...but I have not really seen anything, except some Eotech clones...so, I will keep looking.

I have an eotech listed. I paid about $700.00. I have listed on calguns for $450.00. I listed it on the third of september. look it up. I have a picture on the listing as well. thx

I saw a real one go for 250 the other night.

[ledman]

250? Dang, that would be nice...

Externally, fakes look exactly like the real deal.

To verify that it's a real eotech, you'll need to look through it. First, you should see "speckles" instead of a sharp "dot in ring" image. The speckles are from the laser projecting the hologram. If you don't see speckles, it's not a laser projection and it's a fake.

Second big hint is if there's a third button in the middle and that button changes the dot/reticle color from red to green. Real eotech's don't have multiple colors. In some real eotech's, the third button enables the "night vision" mode and turns the intensity WAY down, which is pretty much so dim as to appear off to the naked eye.

In terms of sight unseen, there is no way to verify. Either you have some other way to trust the seller or you're just rolling the dice.

I bought a 552 from the calguns market for $360 with the GGG covers and met the seller face-to-face to complete the transaction. Keep an eye out and jump on any reasonably priced offer where you can meet up.

Having no experience with Eotech I thought I bought a fake one when I saw the speckles. I removed my glasses and all hell broke loose. All I saw was a big speckle and I was ready to call Lloyd (calgun member). I went to an airsoft store who sells real ones and clones to compare. Contact Lloyd if he can give you a good deal.

ETA - Lloyd is evollep3 here at CG.

Ok I've had alot of experiance with EO TECH and if you want to know a good model for your AR i would say go with eotech model HDS552
or a variant of it. price should range about $269 - $469 the buttons on the EOTECH should be an on/off switch , a dimmer up/down switch I have never bought tactical gear off of ebay so i could not tell you but i'll look around to see if i cant find a website with a good deal. I want to say i saw some in sportsmansguide awhile back for around 250-300 price range but i dont know if they still have them. Look for LE/MIL approved ones because they can take a beating

Hey ledman, where did you buy one, and how much?
Sportsmans Guide sells them for $359 for 'members only', other than that they all seem to run about $400. This is the 552.
eBay seems a bit risky to me, UNLESS it's being sold by a 'real store'

I'd recommend against the 511/551. Nobody's happy with the N battery models these days. If you want to go cheap, get the 512/552.
