    Eotech vs Aimpoint

    Hey guys I'm trying to decide whether to put an eotech or aimpoint on an M4 AR15. It will be used for playing around mainly with some hog and varmint shooting at night. I have been looking at the eotech xps2-0 and the aimpoint comp ml2 or ml3. I'd like to get a quick detach mount for it. I've looked at both Larue and GG&G. The GG&G is quite a bit cheaper but I don't know how good the quality is. I figured some of you guys had dealt with both and wanted to get your opinions. Thanks.

    You might want to check out a Trijicon Reflex sight as well.

    They are built super tough and don't need batteries.

      Both are really good, it just depends on which you prefer for your sight picture. It is quite different in both. I have used both in Iraq and Afghanistan and they both do the job. Also the type of shooting you are doing makes a difference. I love an EO tech for quick reflexive fire, but prefer the Aimpoint if I will also make longer shots.

        I'm a big fan of the Aimpoints due to their smaller footprint (although, the xps2 is pretty small for EOTech). If you go with the ML2 I'll make you a deal on a GG&G mount for it.

            If you like the AIm point Comp's check out the Burris XTS is only 200 dollars cheaper and has a lifetime warranty ..

              I have an Comp M2 and like it. I have heard of a few problems with the EOTecs. Once while firing I had an EOTec turn off on its own, and I have a buddy who just sent one back because it messed up. You may even want to look at an ACOG.

                  I was an Aimpoint fanboy till eotech came out with the XPS line. The battery cover was the main problem with the old eotechs and the fact the the battery was parallel with recoil forces causing the weight of the batteries to beat up the terminals.

                  Since the XPS line came out I have been replacing all my aimpoints with XPS-3's and Larue mounts and I couldn't be happier with them.

                  I'm use my gear hard in training classes and "combat style" pig hunting and the
                  XPS has not let me down yet.

                      I just put an Eotech and 4X magnifier. The magnifier flips to the side for close shots.

                        I like the EOtech for the quick shots on my patrol rifle. Within its range, I cannot shoot as fast with the Aimpoint.
