anyone use an Eotech?? dad just bought one for his M4A3. too bad he went on vacation this morning. it came in yesterday. i mounted it last night and went to the range today....hey what are sons for??

i really liked it. i got into clicking my distances in with my scope this year when groundhog hunting. the only scopes ive touched that are reliable to do that are my leupolds...they still arent true 1/4moa clicks either..but still reliable. i will tell you what...that Eotech moved true. that impressed me.

i really liked the circle and the dot. quick target aquasition...the dot is SMALL. i think its 1/3 MOA or something like that. but its still very visible. i liked it. shot well for me.

only gripe was shooting at a flo. orange diamond stick on target. i buy the diamonds and just stick them on computer paper..i should made a circle with a marker or something. the red was hard to see on the orange which made it tough to shoot with pinpoint accuracy.

i also liked the 20 different brightness levels. in the dark basement i gotta turn it way low...outside in the sun today i turned it up..no matter where its set it is almost always visible..but you can get it to look real good with a click of a button..

another thing i really liked was the rugged design. you would almost have to TRY to break that thing...

i was kinda shocked at the size of it...but i guess thats because i was used to the cheap flimsy holo sights that are cheap. its not OVERLY large..but bigger than i thought they were(never looked at the size specs..) most of the size comes from the metal housing around the sight.

seems like it would be perfect for its intended use...combat shooting. put your circle center mass and squeeze. if you can see it you will hit it..

curious to see what dad says after he goes shooting with it. hes never been into stuff like that. he was torn between an ACOG and the Eotech..i talked him into the eotech...i dont see the need for an ACOG on an M4 that wont be used out there far...and he really liked the backup flip-up peep sight he ordered with it...that was his big thing...the ACOG didnt need batteries but the Eotech did and he didnt wanna trust and rely on them...and what if he needs it but cant hit the switch or whatever...
