imp1864 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Woo Hoo, flip to side mount. I seriously considered buying a real steel one. I will wait to see how the eotech holds up, as I was gutted with my last one. Link to post Share on other sites

UrPeaceKeeper Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Eo looks better but it still has a major problem that I didnt see on the real EoTech I babysitted for 2 weeks. If you look in the pictures at ebay banned of the larger of the two you can see the projector glare from the lights down there. Now the EoTech I played with did not have this glare or if it did it wasent noticable through the optic. From their picture it looks rediculously heavy making this less pleasing. Although it's a step in the right direction and maybe another step torwards me buying one (the real Eo was nice but it would only work on my M16A4 as they dont look too great on M14's) Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 How come most people say RDS sights are better than magnifying ones and then averybody raves when somebody brings out a magnifying accesory for an RDS? Link to post Share on other sites
galactica Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Best of both worlds! And, I guess, the recent proliferation of the ACM Aimpoint 3x which is ace. Works a beauty behind my Eotech on a 36c rail. Quick flick and it's off into my dump pouch and we're CQB again! Link to post Share on other sites
Catman Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Copy of the replica TM tracer (that was discontinued by TM) Woot! I busted my TM one a while back and been trying to get a replacement for a while. Hope it's out soon Link to post Share on other sites
oldman1980 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Finally a tracer clone...Been needing nother one of these, Oh yeah! Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I was really tempted to buy a real EOTech or Aimpoint 3x magnifier. I bought the Aimpoint 3x clone (which was complete sh*t), and I was thinking of buying the real deal as I figured it'll actually work with my real holos whereas my replicas were having horrible alignment issues. But thinking about it more... TBH, for AEGs I just don't see the need for it. It's not like our guns are accurate enough to really take full advantage of the 3x magnification. Which is why as far as I'm concerned I'll keep the replica around for the look, but I'll never use one in game. If I do decide to get a decent magnified optic, I may just go with LaRue's Po'Boy Special. Link to post Share on other sites
galactica Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 just for the record...real eotech, fake aimpoint 3x = no alignment issues. I figure it'll just help spotting hits when doing some countersniping Link to post Share on other sites
4boost Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 For ~$50 for the FTS mount and the Aimpoint replica....it'd just get it for the look.....if nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 just for the record...real eotech, fake aimpoint 3x = no alignment issues. Glad I'm not the only one to encounter that. With all the cheap Tasco optics and such out there with decent alignment, I can't for the life of me understand why the cloners couldn't even get the replica 3x alignment in the right ball park.

Just to clarify, my EoTech (real) and the new ACM Aimpoint 3x magnifier exhibit no alignment issues, it's all good! Not tried it with a fake EoTech. Link to post Share on other sites

Not tried it with a fake EoTech. Ahhh... my bad. Well then my experience was the complete opposite. Perhaps my 3x mag was a lemon. But it didn't work with any of my RS Eotechs (tried with 1 551, 2 552s, and a 553). It was definitely the 3x mag. Link to post Share on other sites
galactica Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 what was it doing? just shoving the eotech reticule and target completely off from where the BB is going? Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 what was it doing? just shoving the eotech reticule and target completely off from where the BB is going? Yep. Also, in order for me to be able to have the reticule viewable through the 3x mag.... once that was done I could no longer aim with both eyes open. Link to post Share on other sites
Vercingetorix Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I would much rather get the LaRue option... 2.5 is more than enough for my AEGs.... And your getting a real optic for $50, and the LaRue awesome mount with it ($150)... Doesn't get much better.... The actual optic is cheaper than the ACM mag. Plus with hk shipping ($20 at least...) and ths ACM FTS mount for another $30ish dollars, and the fact that it is hugely hit or miss with them... I would rather pay another $60 odd for something I can depend on.... Link to post Share on other sites
galactica Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Yep. Also, in order for me to be able to have the reticule viewable through the 3x mag.... once that was done I could no longer aim with both eyes open. Just FYI, I tested mine extensively today...the ACM Aimpoint 3x was flawless with my real 512. Dead on. Guess I got lucky! Link to post Share on other sites
