Someone needs to tell this guy he needs a magnified optic to do that

That target is slightly large then 2MOA at that distance. If you know your zero and your drop, you can certainly hit it. I see people all the time hitting 10" targets at 400 yards with red dots on the first shot but the BIG important thing is light and contrast. You need to be able to see the damn target to hit it and if the light is crappy, or there are trees and shadows and the target isn't a freshly painted the scopes are a lot easier.

 

Usually in competitions when we have people shooting irons and red dots in the same squad as scope shooters, we let the guys without amplified optics shoot first, as the targets are usually freshly painted for them.

He shoots 100,000 rounds a year

 

Then he states it's gonna crash and break

[Shawnmoore81 623]

I'm actually buying one as soon as they are in stock with one of my distributors

Looks like Bugsy did all those guys a favor by not delivering a substandard product

ROFL, completely forgot about that ...

Oh my

[vladtepes 1,060]

Yeah it sucks for people shooting in extreme Conditions. That's not me. I'm sure they'll fix the issue and move on.

 

Ford vs Chevy

Ar vs ak

 

Its the same argument over and over.

 

If they offer a fix I'll do it. If not my sight is still working fine.

 

 

I am not sure why I am even jumping into this... 

but the situation is way simpler than you are making it..

 

* YOUR eotech and lots of others work fine.. we get it..

* historically Aimpoints suffer far less issues..

* this new info is just adding to the unreliable nature of eotech

 

so with those things being accurate.. why would you not just minimize your potential for failure and go with Aimpoint when products like the PRO are extremely affordable...

why wait until you have one of the numerous reported issues.. 

 

sure.. its like "car A VS car B" its exactly like that.. but if both are similar prices and multiple people tell you "car B" has a tendency to have the alternator fry the battery causing the car to break down.. and leave you stranded when you need it most.. would choosing it anyway not be foolish?

ok I caved and sold my eotech.  Aimpoint Pro is on the way lol... picked it up on opticsplanet for $380 shipped not too bad

I'm gonna wait for one of those $350 sale deals .. hopefully they will come around soon

[fatty 241]

Probably will soon.

 

I was also looking at the Trijicon MRO. Great specs but I'd like to wait until there are solid reviews

[tattooo 220]

I have eotechs aimpoints mepro21 & trijicon reflex and am happy with all of them but by far my favorite is my eotech xps .....love the reticle & large window

[fatty 241]

I wish I had that many rifles to put all those optics on haha

I love the xps. I'm not sure how to take this news. I have plenty of ammo through mine with no issues.

 

So what's the deal here... They loose zero in heat because of the glass? Why wouldn't zero return upon cooling then?

[vladtepes 1,060]

I am not sure what causes the shift.. but if an optic shifts in any way at a given temp.. it is unlikely that the optic would return to the exact same position when the temp goes back to whatever is "normal".. as things are effected by hot and cold and start to move around.. the return to whatever resting position is.. its just a lot of faith to put in something... I know that is vague.. but if you have ever heated and cooled something it is unusual for something to return to the exact same position, size, shape, etc..  and small variances in an optic are amplified down range over distance.. 

[checko 180]

Eh, ill still use my exps. No complaints so far, with a few thousand rounds through. I will say ill probably be buying an h-1 next.

[fatty 241]

I can honestly say that I probably won't be going back to another eotech after messing around with my new PRO.  The 30k hour battery life is just icing on the cake...  and somehow the star-burst effect from my astigmatism isn't as bad on the pro as the last RDS I had.  Love the QRP2 mount as well - a really solidly built optic.

Lol.....
