$60.

Job's a good 'un.

Front shape corrected and (in my opinion) better quality 'Eotech' logo. Shame about the 'FORLAW' but you can't have everything.

$60 from where? got any more info?

[tom lawson]

Err, www.dragonredairsoft.com...

[Gaffa]

Very nice, also noticed they had one without the lens cover for $55.

Shipping is $20.

On the aiming reticle; there's still a very slight ghost on these but you're not supposed to look at the reticle when aiming with an Eo anyway...

But for the price, you very quickly get over it.

Out of interest, where are you supposed to look on them?

[Badly Browned]

With most red dots, you are supposed to focus on your target and not on your reticule. The dot/whatever will be superimposed on whatever your aiming at.

On the real EOTech, the reticule comes out blurry if you focus on it, and I guess on the EOFakes you get ghosting.

At the target! The reticle is used (in CQB at least) to 'paint' the target as you look around (with both eyes open). It's designed so that you can quickly acquire and fire without the need to go through the usual (long-winded) aiming process.

Are these able to be zeroed correctly?

Cheers.

Cheers.

I've not tried this one yet but on the older version the zeroing was a cinch!

Can you see the reticle in bright days?

[Panoptes]

Reticle brightness has alledgedly been increased on this one and I could see it fine on the older one.

[Kiki-Jiki]

My question is does it wash out in the sunlight? I remember my friend had a G&P EOTech clone and in a little sunlight the crosshair would be almost completely washed out.

Oh, and how reflective is it? Last weekend I was taking a look through a friend's EOFake (don't know what brand) and because it was a sunny day I couldn't see through it. Like literally, all I could see was my own head in the reflection...

I'd be interested in getting a clone if it weren't for these pretty major issues.

FINALLY better trades, now people won't be able to tell the difference .

Heh,

I've always found the biggest problem with Eotechs (real and fake) is that in shady areas it's often impossible to see the target because the reticle is too "in your face".

The design of the Eotech gives the user superb peripheral vision but I'd rather have one with a simple dot reticle. I assume they DO make one like that but I'm no expert.

Ha, the warning sticker says "CAUTON." Anyone know what a spare hood with proper trademarks (real steel or airsoft, as long as it fits) would cost?

[Vercingetorix]

Lies, the trades on the battery cover are wrong, the newer ones (like past few years) say L3 next to the EOTECH.

This is the only place I've seen them for sale, but hats because I've never looked for them.

$5 flat rate shipping is something to smile about too.

[DWells55]

For that price, I might as well just buy another cheaper clone EOTech and swap the hoods.
