The Eotech 512 is the Best Optic Overall

[@dangerdoberman]

Affordable...rugged...proven...easy AF to obtain batteries...must I go on!

[@1stPersonStateConsciousness]

Yeah that AA battery pack is outstanding

Great video thanks , i just bought one 2 days ago and going out back to dial it in . I see your lower is from ronoke , i didnt kniw there was a place in ronoke that made AR's ... i grew up in ft. Wayne and moved to MI a few years ago . Anyways thanks for all the info , ill let you know how it goes .

[@jerrenortonjr.7405]

Great points

[@IHavAnAkimbonr]

Decent points. But I personally think the PA SLx Cyclops microprism edges out the 512 in the "all around" role.

I have basically super astigmatism called Keratoconus. I really want to try an Eotech, I heard Holos are better for astigmatism than red dots. I'd like to try something other than an LPVO. The get on my soap box for a second. If you have astigmatism and you are younger (Early 20s or a teenager or even mid 20s) and you feel it is getting worse with age. Please go to a corneal specialist and get a check for Keratoconus. It gets worse as you age and can get very bad, but there is non invasive operations to halt it

I have astigmatism as well . Red dots almost always look like question marks for me so they are about useless. The eo tech works for me but I got the green reticle last year and that is much better for me personally . Blue is the best color for me for a dot but they are non existent on quality optics in my experience.

Green was a comma for me. I swapped to the 558 and there was no issues

[@chrisquintana3877]

I put 512's on my ar's because the entire rifle is made in the usa , I love my romeo5's but they where the only not made in usa part of my rifles , eotech fixed that.

[@Lizard_Bleed]

Exactly why I didn't go with the primary arms micro prisms and holosuns

A lot of ppl hate it? Who? I haven’t seen anyone who hates it.

[@trunkmonkey56]

I never liked Eotech battery life but my 512 first had the battery contact problem that killed the sight. Sent it back and a year later the screen delaminated in the corner which caused the upper corner to have no reticle visible. Sent it back, then sold it off. Multiple Aimpoint’s replaced it, and I think they make the best dot. Cost is really the only downside. If you want to magnify for precision, buy an lvpo. If you want to range a target, practice a bit and realize 556 is 0-300 yards with almost no holdover. No need to range with a reticle when you can’t reliably tell what your shooting at past that.
