I bought a Strike Eagle 1-6x24 a couple of days ago and had some issues with the battery compartment. Just took it back and no Strike Eagles in the store, but got to looking at an Eotech 512 and thought it might be a good fit for the AR pistol in 300 BLK, and was thinking of adding a magnifier at a later date. But checking here seems like a lot of people are selling their Eotechs, and wanted to see if this would be a decent sight for shots that would probably be 75, probably closer to 50, yards and less.

Strike Eagle vs Eotech

I had an Eotech on an Ar and really liked it, think it was a 552. When they offered the refund due to floating zero I returned it and replaced it with a Trijicon MRO. Both good units, the MRO has better battery life but the Eotech has better field of view. Don't remember shooting the Eotech at 100 yards but the MRO is good at 100. Seems like the Eotech may have had more star burst at the higher settings.
Also shooting a 1 - 6 Strike Eagle. Good unit and more capable at 100 yards and beyond. Bigger and heavier. Any of the 3 would work fine for what you're talking about.

Have you thought about just sending the scope back to the factory for repair?

Why when I can take it back and get another one or money back? If it was purchased months or years ago then yes, but a couple of days and first time use, then it’s not going to be my problem.

If you are okay with the reticle on an eotech then I say go for it. I have one and use it on my bolt 300blk. I can run my NVGs behind it and it’s been a great sight. I’m not a huge fan of the fuzzy circle dot reticle, and with a magnifier they get worse.
I mainly run Sig Romeo red dots now. They are cheap and do great.
