MRF Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I guess many of You, just like me, always wanted Eotech replica, but externaly executed to look like real one. So far any single Eo clone from China was made with some flaws, and inaccuracies - wrong fonts, wrong spelling, no logo, wrong hood shape, wrong QD mounts, wroooooong colour (DE variants). That should be the full list . And suddenly, I saw this. http://www.shootercbgear.com/product_info.php?products_id=5930 Now, just give me DE version with the same color as OPMOD clones ! Enjoy.

Isamu Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Externally looks good, but I wonder how usable it really is. Im too used to 5 brightness levels which are unusable in bright daylight Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 My main worry is the damn mirror glasses they use... and I don't know why they would use those. Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Externally looks good, but I wonder how usable it really is. Im too used to 5 brightness levels which are unusable in bright daylight Perhaps it depends on batch. I bought OPMOD clone 2 months ago, and honestly it's very comfortable in use, despite slight ghosting. Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Being ACM depends on too many factors, not only batches, Thats why I try to buy sights with 11 brightness levels, they have more chances to be usable OOTB, but I will see if my theory is right when mailing systems decides to drop my package... Why is it so hard for ACM companies or shops to sell bright sights? we dont expect them to surpass aimpoint or eotech, just something like the hurricane sight, not amazing, but usable to some extent Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 @Isamu Actually I've been a little surprised by comment about 5 level brightness adjustment and I've finally just checked it. It seems that stores often don't know what exactly they sell. My OPMOD clone is described as "5 Levels Brightness Control Red - 5 Levels Brightness Control Green" what's entirely not right because clearly, my unit has 19 (!) different levels of brightness for each display color. I bought one of those new yesterday - I should receive it by next thursday top, and I will post how it really performs. Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thats great mate, looking forward to it as i will be needing a compact sight for my soon (i hope) to arrive mp5 Edit.bad phone writing Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan le Fou Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 This will fit nicely on my MRP, more than the xps clone I bought... Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 They generally look better on every AR due to their higher mount IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Is the QD mount good? I heard they tend to wobble on some models. Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan le Fou Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 If it wobbles and tightening the screws doesn't change anything I either put electric tape or some "patafix" (a kind of sticky putty) and bye bye wobbly wobbles. Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Here it comes. http://www.yzh.hk/en_articleshow.asp?articleid=6234 Should be available this week on shootercbgear. That means I will own three XPS clones for a while LOL. Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Looks good, not very bright and with a slight ghosting in green mode, but I have to admit that they certainly paid attention to details aaaaaand to be honest, I cant wait to read your opinion on the black one you bought Link to post Share on other sites
beta08 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Yes! I was seriously considering ordering the black one right when I came out but I'm glad I waited a bit. On the other hand the FDE still isn't quite right. Ya can't go wrong with black though. Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 MRF: is this the one you own? Characteristics look nice and the price not too high http://www.airsoftpark.com/replica-eotech-tactical-xps3-type-redgreen-weapon-sight-p-11107.html Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Yup - that's the one. As You wrote about newest edition, this one - older - has slight ghosting in green mode too. And as You can see it has 20 brightness degrees - well, 19 in fact but still that's correct. Most likely that shootercbgear description suffers from "copy/paste" disease . Edit: Unfortunately the new I bought still hasn't left HK, so I'm afraid I won't be able to provide any brief review earlier than next week. Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 On the other hand the FDE still isn't quite right. Ya can't go wrong with black though. Weeeell... I don't own (obviously) any RS DE Eo, but actually I believe that color on two last EXPS clone editions is quite right IMHO. Every time I look on pictures of original, they usually appear very goldish, or very dark. Clones does the same in different light conditions. Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thanks mate! ghosting is not an Issue as I dont like green reticles, so I may be buying the last one I posted as you and the shop define it as 19 brightness levels, so i expect it to be usable in bright days (yes, I have an obsession ) now my second obsession, parallax free? Thanks for your patience Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 ...now my second obsession, parallax free? Never noticed any optical flaw with it, but please remember it's just my subjective opinion . Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Just saw the news about the new G&G EoTech clones. I wonder how good they are, hopefully we will see some review soon. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 How are G&G getting away with that? I thought EoTech were pretty hot on clamping down on fakes? Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Never noticed any optical flaw with it, but please remember it's just my subjective opinion . Well, I have just bought it, now to ebay to find some rechargeable 3v CR123 batteries... Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Just saw the news about the new G&G EoTech clones. I wonder how good they are, hopefully we will see some review soon. My guess ? Rebranded ACM. With better electronics at most... Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 If they rebrand ACM items, we will be lucky if they improve in QC... ¬_¬ What Voltage can withstans these wps clones? they are showed besides a 3V battery, will a 3.6V or 3.7v work without melting it?

MRF Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Alright. So, I have it, but soon I won't, because they sent me the one with broken front glass - but that's another story, I've already settled solution with store owner. This time there won't be any pics, because I have it prepared for sending back, but what can I tell You about those new clones: - externally - the BEST chineese Eo replica this far. Mount is also very well replicated, seems to work exactly like real one and it's easy to adjust on rail, sharp markings - internally - very nice, sharp T-dot reticle, vertical and horizontal adjustment, typically - slight ghosting on green mode, but still less comparing to my DE unit from previous OPMOD edition. I didn't notice any optical issues. My veridict ? Grab one, or even two in both colors Just ensure You asked store staff about checking if it's OK before they put it into package - perhaps it will help You to avid complication I'm running through now . Now I'm going to order DE version. Link to post Share on other sites
