What's the best Eotech Clone??

Buzzballer · December 20th, 2011, 00:03

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if any one can help me out finding a good quality EOtech clone halo sight. I don't want to spend 400-600 for a RS version right now so I'm looking for a sight that has full windage and elevation adjustment. I'm not to concerned if it will comigle with the front iron sight on my m4 or have a slight rise on it like the 557. The more metal on the sight the better.

I was looking some thing like this, thoughts?

Hurricane. You can find them at Airsoftparts.com

Thanks cobalt, are they that much better then the Chinese ones? Big difference in price,

Crunchmeister · December 20th, 2011, 09:30

Hurricane hands down. They're the most reliable and best built. They cost a fair bit more than the cheapo Chinese ones, but with good reason.

And keep an eye on the classifieds. Often you'll find Hurricane sights for sale for under $150.

That's great! Thanks guys I'll take a serious look at them

i Don't know where you live, but if you are ready to pay 150$ for just a high-end crappie Chinese imitation, you should save money and buy an real one.

here in Montreal i have found mine at 450$ brand new. a 557

You can also keep an eye out for used real steel EOTechs that pop up on the forum occasionally. I bought mine for a whopping $250.

I'm jealous.

Hurricane.

There really is a huge gap between Hurricane and the China clones. For one, there aren't the same ghosting issues that the China clones have. Cleaner optics, crisper dot, and better quality construction, all add to the experience with Hurricane.

It's my second eotech by now. I mean copy. The last one is a classic Army. I 'm still disappointed with the quality. Very reflective glass, the mirror effect on the front glass. the vision is very bad for different type of lights in game. I'm planning to buy a real one around 450$ next summer, but if I can get used one for 250$! (also Jaleous!)
Overall I don't approved the copies on market for this optic.
Viking, Where did you get yours in Montreal. I have an adress already but just wanted to know if I can find a better price.

I didn't know the Hurricane, but I just saw a picture and wwoaaw...At least it doesn't have the mirror style on the front glass. Vision looks clearer than usual copies.. Will check that out.

Don't get the G&P one.

Blurry dot, ULTRA REFLECTIVE LENS. I can see myself in it and then I can't see my target. Which is 5 feet in front of me.

On a similar note..... I'm looking to pick up an Aimpoint micro T-1 replica. Can anyone recommend a good one of those for me? I'd much prefer if it was just a red dot with the 11 brightness settings rather than a red/green dot.

those thing are pretty bad. you cant see much out of the lens. 30% of the view is blocked by the plastic ring they had inside.

if you want a small red dot. i'd recommended a bushnell trs-25. you pay a little more but you are paying for a quality optic from a company that makes RS optics.

i score my Aimpoint ML2 from gun nutz with Arms mount for just over 300. so the deals are out there. its 10 times better optics than some knock off eotech . i would go for a cheap optic from a name brand (like bushnell) than a expensive knock off.

I suggest you sign up on canadiangunnutz forum and check out the section option exchange, sometime you find the good deal there, all you need is patience and cash ready in bank account.

One you go to real steel, you will never go back to clone.

I have 5 different optics for my airsoft rifle, some of the optic are pricy than rifle itself, meh except some.
