Alternatives to EoTech

Aimpoint T1/T2
Trijicon MRO

I was always interested in the cmores. Anyone have any experience?

I went Aimpoint Comp M4 on my 5.56 and 6.8. Think I might try a Aimpoint Pro on the 7.62 I just finished building.

Haven't seen anything that looks like an EOtech. But the Vortex Strickfire II is very close to the Aimpoint Pro at about half the price. I wish they offered it with a smaller MOA dot because I would try it on my 7.62 instead of the Aimpoint Pro. With my astigmatism a 4 MOA really looks all F'd up if I don't shoot with prescription glasses.

Seems like Eotech took a huge hit in the industry due to their issues, I wonder how much market share they lost.

Also the guys on our SRT team got the trijicon MRO's last year at some point, and some of them noticed the zero drifted after sitting in their units between training days (train one to two times a month). So there may be an issue there.

I should have done a little searching. Looks pretty slick. If I build me a SBR I might have to look at one of these. I just wish I could find a Aimpoint 3Xmag-1 in stock some where. I'm hoping that the dioptric adjustment on it allows me to shoot without prescription glasses.

And without knowing exactly how the optics were mounted there is no way to know what the issue is. People more often blame the glass rather than themselves for not mounting the optic correctly. After a few heat cycles and recoil impulses all optics have to be rechecked for torque on the fasteners and gap creep in the mounts. Even the best will drift a few thousandths and even worse when using quick detach mounts.
