Excellent sight, just as expected
The title says it all. We all know what to expect from Eotech by now. The build quality is top notch, really enjoy the 20 different illumination options. There doesn't seem to be the option to leave the sight on permanently (it times out at either 4 or 8 hours), but to me it doesn't seem like a b...

Unfortunate Outcome
I purchased this HWS from Optics Planet due to my many great purchase experiences with them. The transaction was as usual, all aspects and delivery were excellent. The problem with the site surfaced when the manufacturer, EOTech, made a public announcement that the HWS would not hold current zero f...

The 512 but way better.
All of the quality and greatness of the 512, but the buttons are on the side for easier access when using a magnifier as well as a quick detach feature for easy swapping within seconds.
Pros:
- Quality
- Sturdy
- made in the usa
Cons:
- Pricey
Would recommend: Yes
Great deal
Sight is amazing as expected. Mounts perfectly on my AR with a clear and defined view.
Would recommend: Yes
EO Tech 518
Holographic sight is too fuzzy. Maybe my astigmatism is bad. I really can't recommend this sight if you have astigmatism. I think I will just get a scope . Give it a try, you might like it.maybe I will try a holosun.
Would recommend: No

Excellent 1x Optic
Fantastic glass quality; no odd green hue like some of the competitors, no distortion or aberrations around the window perimeter, no reflections or visible emission of light (from the front). Crisp reticle, rock solid QD attachment, and super thick shroud protecting the glass itself. Uses AA batteries so you’ll never be without power.
Would recommend: Yes

Excellent optic
So pleased with the quality of the glass; no aberrations or distortions around the perimeter of the window, no reflections, no odd greenish hue like some of the competitors in the holographic sight space.

Eotech holo
Obviously battery consumption on a holo sight is far more demanding than a simple red dot. Battery life is around 32 hours depending on the intensity. Sight is fixed to end of your rifle ie it moves and keeps target regardless of eye position. Sights made to be seen with both eyes open which only makes sense. Tough frame and durable with extremely clear glass. Frame around glass is almost unnoticeable to the point where you almost only see the holo. Top quality optic for mid to close, probably could do long if you know how to shoot. 5 stars
Pros:
- Clear glass, thin sight frame, quality feel
Cons:
- Battery life, but 30 hours is pretty solid seeing how I'm never going to use it constantly to the point where it would matter
Best Used for:
- Anything but .308
Would recommend: Yes

New Gen Eotech
Think opticsplanet may be the only place that guarantees that the eotech being sold is the post 2018 revision with the upgraded battery life. 2,500hrs with the lithium AA effectively guarantees that you can change the battery once a year, even if you hit the range multiple times a week. With an 8 hour auto shutoff, you could turn it on every day for 8 hours, and it'd last ~300 days. Again, if you don't need the always on capability, this is pretty good for peace of mind. I do wish Eotech could create a shake-wake function though - that'd effectively make it an always on optic given the upgraded battery life
Would recommend: Yes

I try other red dots but I always end up with EOtech
I have tried ever single quality red dot...I always end up going back to EOtech.
They control parallax the best, they have decent battery life now as well...2500hrs with lithium on AA model EOtechs...Vortex UH1 is 1500 at best.
EOtech also improved their warranty now to 10 years...which is awesome.

Pros:
- Clear optics
- Solid mount
- Best parallax control of any red dot
- Reticle can be used to range out to 300 meters
- Dot does not magnify under magnification like regular LED red dots
Cons:
- Manual is prior to the electronics updates
- Wish the battery compartment was aluminum for added strength (I've never broke one though)
Best Used for:
- hd, tactical, general use
Would recommend: Yes

Awesome Sight
I bought this sight after months of debating myself over a Trijicon red dot or the EOTech. I’m glad I went with the EOTech. I love how I’m able to keep both eyes open when using it and staying on target. The only negative I have is how it came with regular alkaline batteries. I was of the understanding it came with lithium batteries.
Would recommend: Yes

Surpassed my expectations....
I was amazed with this optic and can see why many LEOs and Military around the world trust this. It is very rugged and I chose the 518 since it is the 512, but utilizes EOTech's QD mounting system. It was really easy to sight in and the 2 dot system helps with aiming transitions from 50 to 100 yards. I noticed the electronics gotten better and has improved. We all know about EOTech's recent PR nightmare with the US Government, but L3 had overhauled the EOTech line and has changed greatly in quality. The Thermal shift problems have been rectified from what I am currently seeing. It keeps zero very well and the AA batteries is very useful. I highly recommend Lithium batteries and send in that mail-in rebate which makes it a literal steal, imo.
Pros:
- durable
- easy to use
- Easy to zero
- Very big viewing window
- AA battery powered
- Very nice case
- solid QD mount
Cons:
- slightly heavy
- Not exactly the sleekest
Best Used for:
- Range
- Home Defense
Would recommend: Yes
