EOTech or Aimpoint?

[SmokeStack Lightning]

What I don't understand is EOTech's warranty period. 2 years? Top Drawer item w/only 2 years? Kinda like Harley Davidsons.

Aimpoint's warranty states 10 years for citizens.

Votex has a lifetime warranty period. Which I've used and seems to be rock solid.

Being a citizen and not affiliated with any Law Enforcement or Service connection, I was brung up on a farm and hunting and firearms were part of life. Now, I'm just a 'hobbiest, recreational shooter', no more hunting.

So, alltho I likes the features of the EOTech's, I myself would be interested in quality optics with a desirable warranty period of more than two years so I think Ima gonna go with the Aimpoint Pro and their 3x magnifier with twist mount.
Anyone?

Also, I seem to have a l-o-n-g neck. By the time I hunker down to absolute co-witness for the EOTech, the stock of the weapon is practically off my shoulder!
I need optics that stand off the weapon so I can be comfortable while acquiring my target.

EDIT: Just purchased the Aimpoint Pro and Aimpoint magnifier with twist mount.

Cheese and rice, the optics cost me more than the weapon did!! (15T)

So, Ima gonna remove the Vortex StrikeFire and VMX-3T magnifier and move it over to my M&P 15/22.

I've finally settled on the Aimpoint Micro H-1. I bought two from LaRue with their incredible detatch mounting system.

That combination is as good as it gets on a S&W M&P 15, for sure.

God Bless,

out of the 3

aimpoint
bomb proof
battery life is better

neg. weight
.............................................................................................

the XPS2 would be my 2nd choice
field of view
weight factor.. great for CQ room to room sweep

neg.
outdoors the halo tended to blossom in certain lighting
battery life
too square, lots of str8 edge to scratch/rub off to leave shiny spots for others to see you before you see them

I have them both for different reason .. on two different rifles

Wow! That is the closest poll I've ever seen on ANY internet forum

Yes, but if you add the two EOTech scores together, because they are basically the same sight technology but powered by a different battery, it's 2:1.

Aimpoint all the way. Loved my Eotech until I test drove my buddies AR with the PRO. Eotech has since been sold.

I use the Eotech 516 with the CR123 batteries that is flawless and the Eotech 3x with flip (to either side). Wouldn't trade it.
