Eotech configurations vs ACOGS
I started out with an Eotech 512 because I basically thought that AA batteries were so common in my home that that was my best option. I was right, but I learned real fast what the limitations were for the Eotech sights when I was engaging targets at 300 + yards with it. Those optics are really fast for close up fighting which is why most of our Law Enforcement Officials want them, but they, along with any red dot, will actually be difficult to use at longer ranges. I find the haze from red dots to be annoying but I personally have never had to use one in a house clearing situation. The Eotech XPS sights and the EXPS sights are more compact versions with different power switch locations.
Eotech sights while many may claim are slowly becoming outdated, are still very popular. Sometimes it’s not just what is higher tech, but the Eotech sights that we sell are so well known that sometimes it’s hard to deviate from something that you know works. I have yet to see somebody complain about their Eotech not holding zero and the quick detach options are very appealing. The one thing I will say that is you really need to put some thought into how much magnification you want on your Carbine before you buy and Eotech sight because I know many people that got the optic, magnifier combos and later said they basically purchased a Trijicon TA01NSN .
