EOtech Replicas

I noticed the other night that everyone is starting to show up with EOtech or EOtech replica red dot sites recently. Given that they are so damn expensive I figured I could find a knock-off on Ebay for a good price- not really.

Well, for a real rifle there is no substitute for the real deal, but for airsoft a replica will do the trick. There are a few brands of replicas out there. G&P makes a good one, but they will still run you over $100. The best bang for the buck I have found out there is the EOtech 552 on Ebay Banned for $57! The 552 uses AA batteries instead of the more expensive lithiam batteries. They also have the 551 which is shorter and lower profile, but does not take AA batteries.

EOtech sites have a no-ghost red dot and a clear open site picture, which allows for fast target acquisition and which makes even the more expensive models well worth it.

Here is a picture of Amos at our last CQC practice sporting a real steel EOtech 552. Sexy! We will have more photos of that practice up later tomorrow.
