Which sight to keep?

[firefighter238]

I'm kicking the idea around of selling one of my rifle sights but I can't seem to decide which one to keep. I have a 2009 EoTech 511 and a Burris AR-332 scope. They both function great but which one is more "valuable" sitting on top of my weapon....any suggestions? Thanks all!

Which one meets your needs the best?

I have both an EOTech and a Burris and I prefer the Burris. I equate it to a more affordable Aimpoint, which I was trained and grew accustomed to, while overseas. I also like my C-More, which I have on my work rifle, but most people don't know what that is.

Hmmm, interesting... I hated the Aimpoint CCO we had issued, I love my EOTech 556 and for short-medium range I prefer it to anything else I've tried. That being said, I have been giving it thought, since my AR isn't an SBR, about getting an ACOG for longer range to swap out as the situation (IE: how far away I want to punch paper) dictates. But, to the OP, really it all comes down to YOU the user, what do you like personally, and what is an optic you are comfortable using. I don't like Aimpoint as much, but my brother loves it... it all depends on the individual. YMMV. [Beer]

Conversely, I don't like my EOTech 556. Too bulky in my opinion; too hard to open the damn battery compartment and to change batteries. I like the Aimpoint and other like type sights. I am considering selling my EOTech to get another Burris 332.

As others have stated, it is your personal preference, what you like and how you shoot.

If you all want to sell your Eotechs, please let me know. I am in the market right now! I prefer Eotech if you can't tell. I have tried an Acog and Aimpoint but always go back!

I'm interested in the EoTechs as well. To include the 3x magnifier.

I love my eotechs

If you like the 332 take a look at the 536 I'd be interested in the 332 if you decide on the aimpoint

Thanks for the great insight fellas, that's why I LOVE this site! I like the 511 for its weight factor...seems to be lighter than other models but I also like the multi-capabilities of the Burris, if the battery dies, you still have crosshairs to stay in the fight. I'm REALLY considering an AimPoint, I've used them on friends AR's and they perform VERY well. Just digging for some outside experience in the way of rifle optics.

Just picked up one of these. So far pretty nice. I've played with it on my AR, but haven't shot it as of yet. Gives the option of still having a reticule if the battery dies and only takes one AA. Downside it is a bit bulky and heavy.
