My LGS is holding a firearms manufacturer demo weekend. I went today to check it out. I must be jaded because I just didn't get excited about it. The sales floor was crowded, noisy, and hot. The deals weren't much of a deal.

What did get my attention was the EOTech table. I demoed an Eotech sight, and WOW! Holy moley. While I like my affordable Primary Arms, the Eotech is a million times better. I completely understand why these cost what they cost.

The 1MOA dot, with 20 levels of brightness, crystal clear & fog proof glass. It was real good.

I'm saving my pennies to acquire one. It will give me an excuse to build an optics-only, railed gas block AR for the Eotech.

Tnoutdoors9 did a review of an EOTech 516. The one I was messing with looked a little shorter overall. I also looked at the new one with the "zombie" bio-hazard reticule.
