Eotech vs. Aimpoint

[negolien]

mrh

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

I think the fact that Eotechs are HWS and aimpoints are not is the differance in battery life. For those of us that aren't in the field it's a non issue. if you can spend hundreds a month on ammo it's not that big a deal to change batteries every two months. I own an Eotech but would have no issue using an Aimpoint if I had to. Both are fine optics and it's pretty much a personal preferance as to which one people like the most.

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.

Do I hear an echo? lol but two thumbs up even though I said that already

aimpoint......

I honestly don't give a rats *** about the battery life of Eotechs


I'm loaded with CR123A's due to the battery commonality between my Surefire's and my Eotechs and if I needed some I could go out to an electronics store and pick some up (who needs camera batteries when SHTF , they'll probably be the only things left)

I also find the reticle faster and more useful than the single dot found on the Aimpoints.



But if you have uncorrected astigmatism forget about the Eotech.

I own an eotech and have shot my buddy's aimpoint quite a few times.

Both are great. Love the reticle on the eotech's and the simplicity of the aimpoint....

aimpoint battery does last a really long time and lighter than the eotech's. Eotech's battery can get annoying when it does run out, but honestly, it's not annoying enough for me to hate and think its trash.

Both are great, just preference I suppose.

I'd buy the sight w/ Eotech's reticle combined w/ Aimpoints battery life.
