kliskey Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Lol, tempting seen as its for an MC loadout, but I don't want to paint my rifle...... But maybe the powers at be will bring force upon otherwise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick[PM] Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Kliskey is there any ghosting of the reticle? or is that the new version im afraid of buying one because i dont know who has the new one and who has the old one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kliskey Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Patrick, its a new one and there is no ghosting - I bought it from eBaybanned. Â My only issue with it, is that the dot sits to high. And I cant adjust it any further.... So I guess I will need to take it apart and adjust it manually. Thats the only negitive that I have found. Oh and, it doesnt say Eotech Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kerbdog Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) anyone got an Eotech on a M4 with a CASV? if so could i get a side shot of it and a shot looking down the sights. Â thanks. Â PTW with real steel VLTOR CASV and Eotech 551 rev f No down the sight view i'm afraid. You also loose the coexist of the iron sights and eotech when using a CASV.

Zmarre Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Â My 557, off Ebaybanned. Little ghostsight though, although you can only see it when it's dark outside, or the brightness is set too high. Â Nice replica for the rest, full metal etc (doesn't have an ABS hood like I read somewhere) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kipper Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 It looks odd from the back the 557, without any controls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghost_x3 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yeah, I think the 557 has controls on the left side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Yep, that it does. Â For ease of use with magnifiers, etc. Â -Vic Edited January 25, 2008 by Victory Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jboud18 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Is there any big difference between a acm eotech 553 and a real deal eotech 553 except for it being better material quality? Is it worth the extra 300 to spend on the real deal and extra 300 for the magnifier? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
[BS]_MARS Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 There is a massive difference. It's like the difference between the crossman 1:3 scale clear guns to a Systema PTW. The display system is entirely different as well as the build being millions of times better on the real deal. Also, the real ones have lifetime warrantys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jboud18 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thanks for that. Looks like im getting real deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mirska Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 OT Eotechs have 2 year warrantys. Â "EOTech warrants every product to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 2 years from the original date of purchase." Â At least if the information on L3 site isnt old.

[BS]_MARS Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Huh, I was under the assumption they had a lifetime... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

swannie_2006 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Damn, you lucky Americans. You can buy real steel EOTech 553. They won't let me get one for I am not in the US. So I have to settle for the replica ACM. Can you actually buy the ACM 553 anywhere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MinisterofDeath Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 For just airsoft I wouldn't bother with a real steal EO-Tech unless you're just looking for bragging rights. Â However, for real steal use I would never bother with the replica EO-Tech 553, BUT the magnifier is tempting. I mean how hard can it be to do a magnification 3x optic with no internal wires? Seems like as long as the housing and glass weren't so cheap the fell apart you'd be good-to-go. Â Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like as long as the housing and glass weren't so cheap the fell apart you'd be good-to-go.  you couldn't be more wrong dude. if you compare RS performance optics with replica stuff, you'll notice a few things...  1) quality of the "glass" and the associated light transmission percentage becomes really apparent at magnification  2) anti-fog, nitrogen charging. many RS optics have anti-fog coatings as well as nitrogen charged chambers to maintain fog free performance at all temperatures and humidity  3) less distortion of the image especially at the edges. and sometimes, better eye relief, and parallax.  don't get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with using replicas for airsoft. i plan on purchasing a replica ELCAN for my M249, because the real deal is too expensive and i wouldn't use it for RS anyways (over my eotech or aimpoint)  but to think a replica is equal to a RS scope, would be incorrect.

doopydoo Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Are there any replica eotechs that have an actual holographic reticule? I'm not sure if the ones in the pictures here are just red-dot like reflections, but instead of dots it's an entire eotech reticule. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
