EOTech feedback

[JohnnyEgo]

I own a lot of EOTechs. Most are 512s. They are not rated as night vision compatible, but my understanding is that their lowest settings won't fry or overdrive most NV gear. You can make all kinds of arguments as to which model is best. The 512 is cheapest, and since none of the EOTechs have the bat-shit crazy battery life of Aimpoints, I like that it runs on easily attainable AA batteries. You can mount the 512 far enough forward on the receiver to accommodate a low profile BUIS and a magnifier.

I have not had battery issues, although I have heard of them enough times from folks I trust to believe they exist. I have a 2006 512 that is back with L3 because it lost it's nitrogen charge and could not get bright enough to overcome daylight wash-out.

It is a nice option to have extra room on your rail. Thus the major reason why Eotech shrunk the sight.

The EXPS2-0 (non night vision compatible) has a QD mount, button are on the side (must if mounting a 3x magnifier) and your EOTech will sit higher than the 512 or XPS2.

If you believe you will have night vision in the future; we strongly recommend the EXPS3-0. With night vision the reticle is crisp and easy to distinguish in high light conditions. I would not use low settings on any non night vision compatible EOTechs because left on for a period of time you will burn the image into your night vision device.

GG&G out of Tucson, AZ has some great package deals for EoTech's, which include the sight and QD mounts. They're stuff is solid, and extremely tough. Good service and fast shipping, too.

Thanks to all for the input!!
I want the lower 1/3 co-witness, so an EXPS is now the plan. I'll figure out the NV need and then HO! HO! HO!
