The EOTech 552 is considered the same model as the military version which includes the ability to see the reddot with night vison. This version, the EOTech 512 is considered the same as the military version, but without the night vision capabilities. A lot of folks will say that this fact alone makes this entire system worthless. Given that nighvision optics are rather expensive and impractical, at least in applications of civilian usage with the EOTech, this version is the ultimate one in terms of normal people wanting the same capabilities and power of the EOTech. I bought the 512 version and got it on my Bushmaster XM15. Overall I am very please with the sight system. I have since upgraded my BUIS to have a folding ARMS #41-b and the Matech rear sight. It's a very good combination and allows for clear picture without the front sight getting in the way. I mainly shoot 25 yards and 100 yards at the range. Overall the EOTech allows me to hit on target without much thought. You can keep both eyes open and have a clear picture of the target and unlike other options, you don't have to look at it dead on to acquire the target. The EOTech keeps on target and you don't have to look dead on. When others use the EOTech on mine, I notice they close one eye, try to align it and all that and be way off target. Not sure why people do this, but in all you don't have to be careful when you aim with the EOTech. The more relaxed and calm you are, the easier it is with the EOTech. When your battery dies, key thing is that the EOTech works very well with the BUIS of most weapons. You can easily flip up the BUIS, and aim really well without having to physically remove the EOTech from the gun. Zeroing the EOTech is super simple. However, it's rather hard to do with hands. You'll want a dime to adjust the sight. Once you do, you won't have to adjust it again unless you take it off the rails. I have the EOTech along with the G-33 zoomer to allow 3x magnification of the eotech. This is an excellent combination of medium range and long range. With the G33 you can zoom in, and keep it at 1x when you aim. There are really three negatives with the EOTech. One, it's very large, by itself that's okay on most rifles. However, that brings up the second issue that if you want to add a zoomer or any other accessories, you really lose a lot of real estate on your rails. The third problem is that you need batteries for it to operate. While that is okay given that most rifles these days have stocks and handguards that allow you to easily carry spare batteries. My overall thought is that you definitely don't want to run the EOTech without a BUIS in place in case the batteries run out. In all, I am very pleased with the EOTech. I can see why it was chosen by the military for usage on the field. My advice is that if you are not into long ranges, you'll want to get the EOTech. You can easily add a zoomer to get that long range in, but the only disadvantage is the space and weight. Otherwise you're going to have a blast with this and it'll last you a lifetime. ... show more

Before buying this I was a little skeptical on if I actually wanted to spend that amount of money for an optic for a "toy". But I'll be damned not only do I love how it looks on my rifle I also love how well it works and easy to use. Changing the brightness settings is easy and fast, I have this mounted on my Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22 and have over 1400 rounds through it from me and around 10 different shooters. THEY ALL LOVE IT.. this sight turned my rifle into a "gun porn rifle", had some experienced shooters shoot with it and they love how easy the sight is to see and keep both eyes open. Had a few girls shoot for their very first time and with it and they were hitting the steel 10" gong out to 75 yards!I decided to use the Allen screw instead of the screwdriver bolt, just because I liked the flush look of it over the protruding bolt(Make sure you tighten it down till it can't be tightened without over tightening. The packaging for the EOTech 512.A65 is quality. I use the case it came in to carry all my .22 ammo (holds around 800 and then some). The sight is clear, crisp and easily acquired, this is really a sight that makes any gun easy to shoot with and easy for all skill levels to use. Anyone with poor eyesight will enjoy this over iron sights and even a scoped sight. Just might be harder to get the "elders" to go for a Holographic over Traditional. But man, there really is nothing you can hate on this sight for, it does everything you could want a sight to be and more! If they weren't so expensive I would buy them for all my buddies guns :) . If you are hesitating, like i was to buy this site, I'm just going to say !GO FOR IT! you will not be disappointed! Once you see how nice it is to actually use you will feel much better about dropping ~$400 for it. No "tacticool" rifle is complete without an EOTech. I am also thinking about switching it over to my shotgun for turkey and deer season this fall. ... show more
