EOTECH 552 Holographic Weapon Sight

I’m such a big fan of this sight that I chose to buy a second one for a different weapon. This one came on time, i put the batteries in and fired it up; worked as intended. Further, when my older one failed EOTech replaced it quickly.I bought the NV compatible version. Works my my Gen III night vision.

Seems to be a legitimate EOTECH product by every measure I can personally make. It even comes with the sticker. Holds zero like a regular one does too.

This is my first EOTech sight. I own an Aimpoint H1 which is comparable to this sight and several lower end, Barska, Bushnell etc.. type sights. I really liked my Aimpoint H1 until I realized what I was missing. The Aimpoint to their credit, is small, lightweight and has surprisingly good battery life, I even use a LaRue quick detach mount, I thought what could be better. Well this EOTech 552 is the answer. It uses very easy to find AA batteries. It's low profile so I can leave it mounted on my gun and still get her into the safe, unlike my Aimpoint which sits so high you pretty much have to use a quick detach mount. I also like the ease of use. Sure with Aimpoint you turn one dial for on/off and intensity and with the 552 you have a few controls, but that's good right? I can turn the scope on with a 4 or 8 hour auto time off with one button push, adjust brightness up/down with the same buttons and this I really like, the windage and elevation screws are exposed (no caps to unscrew and lose) and you can turn them with a small tool, screwdriver or coin. The display is wider and bigger and I like the cross hair in a circle pattern way better than a small red dot. I still love my aimpoint too but it's sitting on a rifle that's more of a home defense weapon. This 552 goes to the range with me and I'm hitting bullseyes and within 1-2 MOA of bull at 100 yds all day. Definitely worth the price.

I love EoTech because they have the first true holographic sight and it's a dream to use. That said it's been plagued by bugs that L3 has never been able to work out of it such as POI drift under heat and cold. So much so that they are now offering full refunds to anyone who wants them and have a class action suit against them. I'm going for the refund after two years because the US Govt has cancelled their contract as has the military and a ton of police departments across the country. L3 and EoTech may not survive.I went through the return process for both that I bought and will be getting the AimPoint Patrol Pro as a replacement.

I can get four shots inside of a quarter at 50 yards with standard parts with a gun that the gun store through together. The laser is too Gritty for the price. The center is cited in at 50 yards and at the bottom of the circle is pretty Well 10-15 feet away. Have not tried 100 yards yet 60 yards it's still dead on. And the accuracy is achieved with standard run-of-the-mill ammunition independence 55 grain FMJ.It will work in any lighting condition from Bright to no light, works great. Easy to shoot with both eyes open no problem.Have had the batteries in it for over a year, still works fine. It's great but it's really worth about 300. And this is my first site I've ever bought for gun. But next time I'm going to get a burris xtr2 its 500 more. But you get a 1.5-8 zoom and a red dot. Soo thats a better deal to me cause you can shoot point blank out to 400-600 yards with lines in the scope. Can do that with eotec.

The name speaks for itself. This is a great optic for anyone who uses red dot or practices for tactical or close quaters movements. It is easy to zero and so far has been keeping its zero well. Not to mention taking AA batteries is a plus. They are not expensive when bought it bulk and are easy to replace. I would recommend this optic for anyone looking for a quality red dot and shoots withing 300 meters or closer. It is especially a great optic for 25 meter drills and movements.

I am writing a review for this sight as part of a school assignment and because it has not let me down since I have purchased it. There is quite a few different sights, however, this one is issued to many different agencies and purchasing a high quality weapon sight was one of my biggest goals due to constructing an AR-15. I love the quality of the sight itself and being able to shoot with both eyes open is a massive advantage due to having more peripheral vision at the range. The 552 doesn't have any noticeable drawbacks from my experience so far, however, it is relatively big and heavy compared to many weapon sights currently available. Another issue is that EOTech released a newer sight called the 558 which is only marginally more expensive with several improvements on button positioning and replacing traditional screws with a quick detachment lever.

Words cannot begin to describe just how well this HWS works. Is it costly, yes, but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. Right out of the box this sight performed as expected. I did a ton of research and waited about 4 months comparing brands and prices. After zeroing this sight in it holds zero remarkably well. Rapid fire, drops nothing shakes it. If you want reliable and accurate, this is the one for you. Do you need it to be waterproof at 33 feet, probably not, however as another saying goes I would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
