ACOG or EOTech

[Victor Six Bravo]

What Stevo said. For long range ACOGs are superb. For close in work, they suck.

EoTechs tend to eat batteries and die, sometimes spectacularly at the wrong time. I've had several friends have them shut off mid firefight.

I'm an "Aimpoint *****", i used the M68 (Comp M2) for 3 years on one battery under every weather condition (day, night, 135F to -12F, sand storms, snow, rain, hail) and they keep running.

I have and will continue to trust my life to Aimpoints. Eotechs.....I have a few for evaluational purposes, but I don't really trust them.

Hell of a recommendation - thanks. That is the kind of input I was looking for. My LEO buddy here has a lot of 'personality' behind his opinions - makes it kinda hard to argue with him (even though we've known each other since we were 8 ... and I don't think either of us have changed a bit - we're both just as stubborn as ever ...). To be fair, when he thinks about optics on any platform he is thinking from a SWAT point of view and is not really a distance type of shooter.

But now I do have another short barreled AR with a collapsable stock ... hmmmmm (grin).

Thanks again, all.
