Had the Eotech553 since 2010 and shot thousands with it and retained its Zero every time I shot drills with it. Great optic but a bit pricey. NVG mode also works great, reticle is sharp and crisp. Overall great optic

This sight is one of the best AR-15/M4 sights an operator can have. Add a removable magnifier and you are ready for whatever MOUT scenario may arise.

Overall Great unit, I have not used it with NV yet. The only problem I had is that the monting was too tight, thought I was going to break the clamp handles.I bet it will never come loose:)Other than that, I Love it!!

I love how quick the 553 can be attached and zeroed. Very useable at long ranges thanks to the 1moa dot. This is thing is built like it should be. I don't have to worry about losing my zero when my rifle is bouncing around the cab all day. I highly recommend this sight I can't wait to get the g33 to put in front.

Sight is expensive, but quality usually is. This has spoiled me, makes hitting targets too easy.

Overall, I am very happy with this optic. The recticle (1 MOA dot with 65 MOA ring) and HUD-style display are the best-- great for CQB. I've banged this optic around on my carbine; got dust and mud on it as well as got it soaked in rain. No issues whatsoever. Very rugged and reliable. I wish the control buttons were on the side like my 516, but it's not a deal breaker. The FDE color finish is pretty cool too.

I put this sight on my Sig 556. Easy to set up and very easy to zero. Sturdy too, so it maintains its zero well. No troubles with a few hundred rounds of recoil with the sight in place. Great sight for close-in engagement.
