@AGuyFromHazard7 ай бұрын
If I'm looking through my eotech the reticle is grainy but when I use it like it was intended with both eyes open and I focus on what I'm aiming at its crisp
@seth35207 ай бұрын
That’s because its a holo not a reflex in reality it makes no difference because shooting with a red dot your focus is on the target anyways do if you see a red glowy bit on them then boom your good to go

just like the other guy said that’s the whole point of the name is it’s called a holographic and that’s the exact reason. I have a really hard time with buying one too but I think I’m going to just because they’re durable and I do like the site. My only issue is the grain and it so you can see through that radical and still have eyes on target and not have a solid dot blocking that they also sell a solid red dot for them too which I really like a lot and I think I’m gonna get that one if I end up getting them but I’m gonna do some research

EOTechs do have an auto off feature. If turned on with the up button it’s an 8 hour auto off. You f turned on with the down button it’s a 4 hour auto off. So yes, there is no auto on option, but is an auto off feature.

I put a EOTech on my DD years ago, when they were all the rage. A couple years later I bought another one for my home built AR. I still love them and have left it on for days and days with no issue. I mean, it has served me well for 20 years so I cannot complain.What sold me was the picture of a EOTech with a hole in it and it still preformed.

Not going to mention the fact you can have the glass get shot out or shatter and it’ll still work and project the reticle where as you drop a cheaper optic too hard and it ceases to function. Are they a shit load of money, yes. But you definitely get what you pay for for everything you get with an eotech especially after they fixed the thermal drift issues. Quality duty optic

Well... if the battery life is bad, I'd hope the sight wouldn't have shake awake. Reason... put your rifle in the car to go to the range and all those bumps and dips in the road are activating that shake awake. That shake awake wouldn't work very well in this case.
