None of the above. I have astigmatism. When I look through a red dot, I see a squiggly line, so these kind of sights are not on my list.

Nemo, I do too! I've never tried any of these. What works best for you?
DeleteNever used either.
ReplyDeleteThere's a third option. I put one of these on a Blackout gun, with a Blackout Reticle. Love it.

Americans have been killing their enemies with Orion sights for hundreds of years, that's good enough for me

Iron sights
ReplyDeleteOne day I'm going to figure out how to turn off this damn spell correct

The joys of auto correct and word suggestions. I just wish the idiots who programmed that shit would use american English
DeleteIt comes down to personal preference and $$$. I have both and I think I have more EoTechs and I do use a 4X magnifier (behind the sight on a flip-out base, Getting Old Sucks).
ReplyDeleteWhile I whole heartedly encourage people to spend their money however they like, my budget has decided I will be a knock-off brand chink red dot user.
ReplyDelete... my nikon scope cost less than an EOTech! Jeeeze!
I like and use BOTH!
ReplyDeleteI prefer red dots, but wouldn't hesitate to take an EOTech into combat. The only downside that I see is the battery life. The Aimpoint M68 was first issued to me in 2004 and I really liked it. Currently, I've got an Ainmpoint T1 and a Trijicon MRO. Every New Year's, they get a new battery. It's assuring to know that I can just leave them on all the time.
ReplyDeleteMain rifle still has an ACOG, the TA02, which takes a AA battery instead of Tritium. It is also left on all year, with the battery being replaced on New Years.
I am using a fake Eotech as a test bed on my AR pistol. I am impressed enough I will drop the cash cor the real thing if we get another stimulated check from unca sugar.
ReplyDeleteBass Pro had EOTech 512's for $359.95 last Christmas; look for that again this year?
ReplyDeleteThey were $399.00 with a coupon code at PSA last week. I remember them being $5-600.0 & up when they first came out.
Either way, I've been developing a cataract in my dominant eye, and the holo dot is definitely quick & easy lineup vs open sight.
Just tried a red-dot for the first time last week and did well with it I had an EOTECH a while ago on a SIG 556 sold it and the gun. I can use either i have an astigmatism too and I can use either one
