Why do you need it?
November 24th, 2004 at 11:56 am
I don’t need it. I just think it’d be a fun toy.

Well, yeah. I guess I could have phrased that better: to what purpose will you put it, so that Uncledom can better assess which product is best for your particular needs? 🙂

I’ve used both on my AR. I like the EOTech for quick target acquisition for competition (3-gun) where you’re running and shooting at moving targets. It’s also good out to about 100 yards or so. I get a little queasy about it past that, although some claim it’s good to 200yds. The Aimpoint (depending on the model) is probably better suited to hunting than action shooting. It’s not as quick to acquire a sight picture, IMHO. It’s more of a scope-type sight, in spite of being a red-dot.
Like them other fellers said, depends on how you’re gonna use it.

I would spend the same dollars on incendiary rounds. You can usually pick them up at gun shows without paying the horrible S&H you would get by mail-ordering them.

The M68 CCO, made by Aimpoint, is the general issue Army CCO. Not sure what Aimpoint calls it in the civvy market.
That said, I’ve seen a lot of photos of GIs using EOTechs, the big advantage of those being that they use AA batteries, same as NVGs, Mini-maglites, and personal CD players.
If you’re really got the $$ to spend, the Aimpoint civvy version of the M68 is much more compatible with the PVS-14 night vision monocular.

I sort of like these…I got to check one out at the range I go to and it was pretty cool for the bucks…

They make a bunch of red-dot tubes also.

I’d say neither.
What you need my friend is an ACOG Reflex sight.

It’s what I’ve got on one of my babies and it works great. I’ve not shot it in a match but I wish I’d had it when I did. The brightness adjusts automatically – no batteries to wear out and the tritium is supposed to last for ~10 years. Even after all the tritium turns into plain old hydrogen the sight will still work in the daytime.
