Something really interesting about early holo-sights that I wish survived today is the genuinely 3D reticle. Technically all holosights have 3D reticles, but the old-school ones really leaned into that fact by using depth to their fullest advantage. Are you accidentally tilting your gun to the side? A little line will show you how severe that tilt is. It's a limited feature, but a charming one.

At standard temperature and pressure, 4k fps-spec +3 Longbow experiences 304.084% improved odds to hit at 1k yards. My initial estimate was 3,960 fps from a 20.89 inch barrel, perhaps slightly conservative for an estimate. Recent extrapolated-data based estimate says 4,000 fps from a 20 inch barrel. 2,218 yards until deceleration until Mach one. Just shy of 1,900 yards until deceleration to Mach 1.2, which, according to Brian Litz, is where instability really starts to kick in. 0.627 ballistic coefficient in that ALCO 90 grain 0.224 inch diameter projectile in question.

I think they feel compelled to make the differentiation due to all of the clone optics. Not the cheap knockoffs, but other makers manufacturing a similar form factor that aren't actually holographic optics. There's a massive difference between a projected laser image and a reflected led diode. I'm fairly certain most of the newer customers have no idea what the actual differences are and the effect it has on performance.

Saw another comment that mentioned this but would really love to see you guys play into the holographic strengths and mitigate some of the weaknesses for your next optic. 1. Shake awake for battery life would be awesome, could keep the optic on 24/7 and wouldn’t need to worry as much about the battery dying 2. integrated BDC to account for different ammunition’s / magnifiers 3. Maybe a solar panel to keep the optic topped up 4. Push the magnifiers !! Magnifiers are one of the best pros to a holosight vs a red dot 5. Battery life indicator

@@dylonbronson4542 I've used one before and have been considering purchasing one. While the 510c is nice during the day, it doesn't compete with Eotech's night vision capabilities, which is why I primarily use their holographic sights. Window and reticle clarity is important under nods, especially when using a single PVS-14. When your RDS completely blooms out your target under NVGs it becomes rather useless to where investing in an IR laser is a better option. Really depends though because when I used the 510c it worked decent enough under certain bright lighting conditions, but not in truly dark environments. If Holosun fixes these problems, I'm putting the 510c at the top of my list.

Just bought my first eotech last week. I went with the 512 because I wanted the AA battery for my rifle's intended purpose. I'm just upset that I waited until my mid 30s to switch to a holographic sight. I'll slowly be replacing most of my red dots.

Similar boat. Waited years because of the QC issues when they were with L3 Harris. Now that they're doing their own thing and all that seems behind us, bought a new 552 for the same AA battery use (being able to use rechargeable AA for long term sustainability is helpful). Now that I've got it I wish I'd started out with one years ago. Was all keyed up for Aimpoints until I looked though them and realized my astigmatism doesn't play well with them at all, but the EOTech gives me a much more precise center dot. There is not a better sight to use stand alone or with a magnifier. With a magnifier, that reticle looks exactly how it's printed out in the manual and advertisements.

All the kids in here talking about wanting more battery life and gimmicky features like “shake to wake” don’t understand the concept of a proactive professional combat optic. 1) It is a LASER PROJECTED SIGHT which is what makes it a HOLOGRAPHIC and thus lasers use more battery than a red dot which has an LED or light emitting diode. 2) “Shake to wake” is something that can fail if you need it for the “bump in the night” and then you need to turn it on anyway, that is why REAL combat optics like Aimpoint and Trijicon don’t use it. If you need something to stay on for two years straight for a defensive gun get an Aimpoint or an MRO HD. If you are a professional “shoot bad people in the face” guy then the EOTech is superior in every category except weight and battery life, which battery life doesn’t matter as a mission is generally scheduled. I would never trust my life to a “shake to wake” optic as that feature can fail at the worst time. Also quit acting like a CR123 battery is so expensive. It’s $3, don’t go to Starbucks or McDonald’s once and you have two batteries. Geez…🤦🏽‍♂️

Best explanation I've seen in here. Also, these comments where people complain about having to push a button on the optic instead of constant on or shake awake is stupid. Seems they must have missed the part where the EOTech has an 8 hour auto-off feature. Bunch of 🤡 in here who are sh*tting on EOTech just because. I have a newer EXPS3 and absolutely love it!

@shootinbruin3614 Жыл бұрын

I understand that the power consumption of a laser-based weapon sight is much greater than that of an LED red dot, but for those of us who like to always have the sight on, could you please consider a dual 123 or 18350 cell EOTECH that drew from only one cell at a time? You could place a small LED in the rear or have the reticle blink to indicate when one cell is consumed. That way, the user would know that he's halfway through his total battery life and replace the spent cell. Thanks!

4 to 14 hours and it will shut off when you are not moving it around and it will come back on? Is that what you said or is that what I heard around 7:20?

For all of the "Shake Awake" people, when do you actually see yourself using that? Is it just so you can grab your rifle and shoot without pushing a button first? That's the only use-case I can see for a rifle. It's not going to save you any battery life over manually turning it off. The difference in battery life comes down to Red Dot vs Holographic. You're not getting 50,000 hrs on a holographic sight. You ARE going to get a lot of other benefits that are specific to holographic sights, such as that 1 MOA dot when paired with a magnifier.

@actionjksn Жыл бұрын

I would not have a red dot or holographic sight for home defense or combat that I have to turn on when I need it. It has to either have enough battery life to leave on 24/7 or shake and wake. Back in my younger days when I was wild and lived a crazy life, I experienced someone kicking in the door and coming in shooting. I can assure you there is no time to find the button and push it to turn on the reticle on the optic. The holographic sight does not have enough battery life to leave it turned on without having shake and wake.

I have a love hate relationship with EoTech. I have ONE EoTech and 3x magnifier on one of many rifles. I LOVE it. I have many other competitors on other rifles that I would like if I didn't have to compare them to my EoTech. I need to find a better paying job haha.

@eotechinc do you need to read the optic after a battery change?

@tiortedrootsky 7 ай бұрын

There must be an optical scheme to make reflex sights reticle bigger than usual (the actual reticle that is in focus point of the lens, the light source) and so the center dot could be finer than usual. If somebody know of an optic/patent, whatever that allows that, please share.
