Eotech 518.A65

There's a reason EOTech and Aimpoint are gold standards for laser optics. The 518 provides excellent and quick target acquisition with its large, anti-reflection window and thin surrounding metal frame. Like all EOTech sights, the reticle is parallax-free, meaning that it points where the barrel does, even if your eye isn't right behind it. Lots seem to complain that EOTech reticles look "fuzzy", but that's usually for one or two reasons: 1. The brightness is set too high for your current environment, which causes the reticle to "bleed" light around the edges. 2. You need to see an optometrist. The hologram technology causes those with sub-par vision to see a fuzzy sight. Even though I'm nearsighted (so objects close to me usually look clear), looking through it with and without my contacts produces a night and day difference in the clarity of the reticle. Despite its hefty price, this optic feels like it was worth every cent. Features I love about this model in particular: - The quick-detach system is fantastic - you can attach and remove it from your rails in seconds, and it always seems to hold zero. - The side-mounted brightness buttons allow you to adjust it with your left hand, even when you have your rifle up.

Easy to use and zero, cool optic.

Really nice holographic sight. It's my first holographic sight, and my first experience with EOTech. So far, it's a pleasant experience. I'm very much used to either iron sights or the ACOG from Trijicon, and I still prefer the ACOG. But with this EOTech being literally half the price, it makes up for the nitpicking shortcomings I perceive. Like the need for batteries, and a power switch. With the ACOG, it has no need for batteries, and it's an option that you can use immediately upon shouldering the weapon, much like iron sights. With the EOTech, you need to turn it on, and then, depending on the ambient light, you need to adjust the intensity of the crosshair. But for taking it to the range, it's a great addition to any rifle. Quality wise, it gets 5 stars. Fit and finish- 5 stars. Cost effectiveness- 5 stars. My personal preference- 3 stars. But it gets a 5 star rating from my objectivity. Hope this helps! Good luck ladies and gents. And happy hunting/target practice

It’s probably the best sight on the market

Bought this for a retirement gift for my husband and he loves it.
