re: Tell me about Eotech's XPS3 reticle differences

I've had and used both Eotech and Aimpoint a good bit and much prefer Aimpoint because of the battery life. I am a forgetful mofo and I get 5 years always on vs a week or two with the eotech. I don't notice much diff in field of view.
That wasn't your question though. Yes the circle was too obstructive for me. The single dot is good for someone with average eyesight out to 200 yards or so. If you're shooting farther than that, you need a scope.
Personally, if I didn't want an aimpoint for whatever reason, I'd go with a Trijicon RMR with the protective hood and skip the Eotech altogether. It's lightweight, great field of view, rugged and like the Aimpoint, you can leave it on for a couple years.

DOH! well, that puts me down to the one they have without the circle. at least they offer it, i just wish there was a model with two dots, no circle.
i'll check into that trijicon RMR, but i bet that'll be more than i wanna spend. no magnification on it, right? pure red dot?
btw, that's super helpful. thx. i just can't imagine not being frustrated with that damn circle.
