the Pros and Cons section

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32460


Pros: Looks really good on rifle, you can't tell the difference from a real EOTech 512 unless you actually have the rifle in hand.
Metal construction
Good Packaging

Cons: Elevation adjustment broken
Mount vise frozen
Battery latch does not lock down. If I were to fire my rifle the battery hood would come flying off.
Looks slightly used with lettering scratched off

Bottomline: Looks tempting but do not make my mistake and bite. If you check the product forum other people have had a problem with the elevation adjustment too.

Pros: -Nice afordable Eotech replica!
-Brightnes setting is verry nicely customisable
-Nice Markings!
-Fits AA's

Cons: -Build quality is slightly disapointig with the retical adjustment nobs not beeing center of the protective cover hole and a few small things.
-Glass is highly reflective, when i look into the glass i can see myself if i focus on that, but if i focus on the reticle and whats on the other end its fine, dont know what it would do in the sun yet tho.
-I think this should be considered a Airsoft/Paintbal sight only i dont think this wil hold up on a real firearm.
-The biggest and worst Con imo is that it will NOT fit my Classic Army Airsoft Rifle The grooves on the inside of where the top reciever rail should be are shaped wrong on one of the sides, therefor hindering me to mount the Sight, Then again some work with a Dremel should Fix that.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: If your looking for a Nice EOtech replica without having to sell a kidney then this is the sight for you, that is if you dont mind doing a little dremel work on the bottem where the sight meets the receiver rail.

Pros: -SOLID
-Authentic look
-EOTech branding is a nice touch

Cons: -Wouldn't trust it on a real gun
-Ghosting of the reticle
-Glass too reflective

Other Thoughts: About a third of the price of similar replicas out today.

Bottomline: Just by taking this out of the box and feeling the weight and build quality, you can tell that this piece is well-made. The EOTech brand name is right on the side of it too, giving it a real look of authenticity. BUT keep in mind that this is not a real EOTech part. If you're buying this with the intention of putting it on a real firearm, which you might be one day using to defend your life, I would say that's a bad idea. But for paintball or Airsoft, this would be more than sufficient. The glass looks thick enough that it wouldn't be shattered or cracked by a paintball or pellet hit too. A couple of complaints though: The targeting reticle tends to ghost in the image, and the glass is so glossy that you can see your own face in it like a mirror in bright light. If they could put an anti-glare lens in this unit, it would be perfect for hobby use.



don't know seems good but has issues

by the way guys, chinese clones are systematically made. You can either get awsome quality, average quality or lemon.

All you need is luck I ordered two of them. Can't wait to review them

When I was going over those reviews, in the negative ones, I'm pretty sure they were being used with real steal guns. Correct me if I'm wrong, but rs guns have a lot more force being created than airsoft, therefore a lot more things can go wrong with something not made to take the abuse.

These would never work on real steel guns, airsoft clone eotechs will not hold a zero under that force.

If clones like this work on RS, EOTech/Aimpoint will close down.

I don't think so.

Exactly my point. These break because they are being used with reas steal. Has anyone here actually had a real problem with these yet?

It's not as bad as it sounds. Its well worth the 42$ CAD ... Black finish metallic can be easily scratched off. I suggest repainting yourself or something.
