seeking info on optics

[ljcst@comcast.net]

I recently purchased a Bushmaster AR15/A3 and have been trying to find optics for the rifle. Ideally, I would like to have an EOTECH 512 but the cost is somewhat prohibitive and I am not very familiar with red dot sights. I am looking for a recommendation if anyone can make some suggestions, I would greatly appreciate (both pro and con remarks will really help).
Thanks Don

The 512 and all EOs are good scopes and fast to use. I have a few. Aimpoint also makes a good scope as far as dots go.

Dont overlook Ultra Dot brand. They are awesome scopes. The biggest plus being that the dot is round. They are very popular with the bullseye pistol crowd. Many are slide mounted and they hold up to the beating they get there just fine.

Don't skimp on glass. I have wasted a lot of money only to fork out the dough for the one I wanted originally. EoTech can be had pretty cheap if you shop around or buy used.Same with Aimpoints. ACOG is considered the mack daddy. I have used Aimpoints and EoTech and PREFER EoTech. I have never used an ACOG, but have only heard good things about them.
