EOTech feedback

[Zman]

Hey all,
Your chance to have some influence.

I have read thru the previous opinions here.

Santa will probably be coughing up an EOTech for Christmas. I have looked at them some on various platforms.

My only initial configuration desire:

• Side mounted controls

Two options that leaves me with:

1. NV or not to NV
2. Small format (EXPS) vs full size

So, I'm looking for thoughts on (1) the small version versus the large and (2) the need for NV capability. I'll sort out the 2 AA's vs 2 CR123's if I go full size after cutting through this chase.

Not really needing any AimPoint vs EOTech comparisons ... I currently have a PA M4 on my 15-22. Looking to move to the HOLO now for my AR.

Thanks in advance on any/all (well, mostly all ) opinions.

I love mine. (512) I couldn't justify the extra cash for the nv option cause I never plan on having the extra cash for that. Just my 2 cents.

^ Same here-the 512 works well for me

EXPS2, unless you are going to lay out mega cash on some NV items.
The small profile leaves room on the upper for BUIS and a magnifier if you plan on one.

[colo-pr]

the same for me, do you plan to shoot at night? buy a Night Vision attachment? forget the NV

Can't tell from literature ... is the actual optic lens the same size and just the structure smaller due to transverse battery compartment?

I'm partial to the XPS models myself. They only need one battery and the reticle was a lot sharper than my 553. I'm guessing it's simply because they are a newer generation. It's also pretty nice having a lot of rail space back.

[Spdu4ia]

had this question about the smaller vs full size as well. I guess they are upgrading and eventually will phase out the full size model? Is there a benifit to having the larger one with the double batterys?

The optic lens is the same size, 1.20" X .85" on all the models.

[Kaiser.Shooter]

actually a benefit is to have a transverse placed battery so the recoil won't break the contacts after a lot of shooting.
co-witness go with XPS , lower 1/3 co-witness get an EXPS
