Eotech vs. Aimpoint

[10mm]

Eotech because your target cannot see the hologram sight. On the Aimpoint your target can potentially see your red dot.

I just meant I didn't really catch the pattern you describe, but I also only looked through it real quick.

What? Lol are you comparing an Eotec to an Aimpoint! Lol it's funny how people regurgitate crap they hear! Eotec is the best sight out period.

Why?

Wider sight picture allowing for faster acquisition and over all situation awareness.

A true Halo no matter the sight picture angle the POI stays true!

A larger reticle that allows for faster times on target

Co witnesses with rear and front sight
Giving better accuracy using a 1MOA instead of 2.

The Russians took it out right!

This isn’t some random regurgitation…. This is from my own person experience using both optics.

I like both; both have their own pros and cons… I did mention I find an Eotech faster, and more accurate, and the reticle design is more useful than the Aimpoint. I only made comments in how the projection of the reticle LOOKS...

I do like the Eotech because it feels even faster than the Aimpoint, and the 1 MOA center dot it’s easier to get accurate with. If Eotech had the battery life of an Aimpoint I would be all over it, which is the selling point that gets me on the Aimpoint side. I’m a huge Trijicon fan, I love the always on no battery design and I still look to them for my reflex sights.

If you cared to read my posts above you would have seen that. I sold off all my RDS units; I don’t care for them in general, as they don’t match my shooting style.

You saying Eotech is the best is just 100% your personal preference and opinion.

I haven't had the privilege of shooting over a Eotech. I would love to and am thinking of getting another AR just so I have a good excuse lol! I do however own and use a Aimpoint Comp M4s on Larue QD mount with a magnifier on a flip to side QD mount by Larue. I do get absolute co witness with this set up and enjoy shooting it a lot

Honestly if you are happy with it, rock it. That’s still a sweet setup.

Those optics are similar enough in application I personally really wouldn’t care to own one of each, but I would get the one you like and stick with it… There are so many different types of options out there to be had for different applications. Like I said above I sold off my red dots, to buy optics that better match my shooting style, plus I like a little variety.

My two personal favorites right now are low powder variables like 1-4x and 1-6x type optics since they are extremely versatile and the ACOG. I am still waiting on my SWFA 1-6x scope to show up which will probably replace the Vortex 1-4x if is as good as it looks on paper. Lower AR is the TA31F on a Larue mount.

I seriously just got a woodie! Nice rifles!

Wider sight picture allowing for faster acquisition and over all situation awareness.
They both follow a tube design. "Wider sight picture" should not be confused with larger unit size. Situational awareness? Both eyes are open, aren't they?
A true Halo no matter the sight picture angle the POI stays true!
Both units are parralax free, this is a non-issue.
A larger reticle that allows for faster times on target
So would a 4 MOA or 2 MOA dot.
Co witnesses with rear and front sight
??? Both units allow 1/3 and absolute, depending on mount.
Giving better accuracy using a 1MOA instead of 2.
I thought a larger reticle allows for faster times on target?^^^ RDS is not about precision accuracy. Engagements are usually within 100-250 yards.

see above

Both are great! In their own right and have advantages and disadvantages

LOL... Just buy a C-More ATAC and be happy you have the best optic money can buy and not be a fanboy mall ninja....

I have hunted big game my whole life from childhood. I have until late used only Leupold because that's what my family has always used and honestly it is a really great product! My last hunting scope purchase was a Nikon titanium in matte silver to sit on my pretty stainless model 70 featherweight classic in 7mm Rem Mag. This is hands down one of the finest scopes I have ever used. I feel the same about my Aim point M4. To each his own! Both the Eotech and the Aimpoint are battle hardened and proven extremely effective. But then again on the other hand I have a 35 dollar 3x9 Bushnell on a pre WWII 99 that I cant even adjust. It has killed year after year on the deer and the range....

I have shot with a Trijicon ACOG, Aimpoint Red Dot and I own a EOTech...My personal opinion is Id rather be able to open both eyes with no parallax and hit my target then have to waist time with a acog squinting one eye and having to find my target then shoot. 90% of the time if you are in a fire fight, your enemy will not be beyond 100-200 yards...and you can hit a 200 yard target just fine even with no magnification using a EOTech. I say EOTech FTW Not to mention, with an EOTech you have such a WIDE FOV =D
Just my thoughts.

Ok so let me ask you other then battery life what makes an Aimpoint better then an Eotec?

[m98]

both are awesome. me i like the eotech that much better but could do aimpoint if i had to. i'm just wayy more comfy with the eotech and that much faster in target aquisition. aimpoint has a bit too much of the tubing effect. and yes i shoot both eyes open. eotch fov is much much better than aimpoint.

Meh, I've seen better.
