AR-15 BS Thread

So this hit the market today

 

Viewing their website on my tablet sucked ass but I think Holosun will be my optic choice in my AR build.

 

I haven't had a single issue out of my eotech.

I have all three mentioned

 

Brett fancy seeing you here.

 

very cool! can you give us your thoughts on all three and a price comparison? would be appreciated!

 

oh yeah, and happy belatedly birthday to the man, the myth and the legend, Chris Kyle, rest in peace warrior, you are missed! Merica!

 

The new vortex sparc-AR is a good aim point alternative also. The Trijicon MRO is pretty sweet as well.

 

Not an AR, but I did a thing

 

My eotech was $265 new through Amazon. Just have to be patient and find good deals. The other two I recently acquired. I've had the 512 about 4 years or so.

I love my eotech, it's been good to me. The Aimpoint I've shot with once. Solid red dot. The holosun I have not taken out yet. Seems well built. If you want aimpoint quality buy aimpoint. I learned long ago you get what you pay for! I'd go eotech all day over holosun. And at the price I paid it's hard to beat.

 

I've been here awhile. Just don't have a lot of opportunities to post.

 

@blackhawke88 assembling my Anderson Lower..

 

I dont think we woke Jen up. I dont think she even knew you were here! Success!

 

haven't been here long, just bought a 2016 in October, but I still run my Iron Works gear!

 

No Fxxking Way major problems with POI shift issues with temperature changes. Do a search EoTech is issuing full refunds on all sights.

Do you know anyone who actually had issues? And not in any extreme climate temps? Yes, it was a concern. But the general concensus by guys who actually use and abuse their gear was that it didn't impact the average shooter.

Unless you're an operator trusting your gear overseas I don't think you'll ever have an issue. Again, mine is 4 years old.

 

And please don't use truthaboutguns. That site is a joke.

 

I will follow up with a couple links myself

That being said, for some it's just the principle. I have contemplated sending mine back mainly because I got a steal of a deal on mine and would get nearly double what I paid for it, and could use it on a SWFA 1-4x

 

Please, it is a clear fact, don't let your fanboy love interfere with logic.

 

fanboy? you did notice my pic above that I own more than one brand, correct? Please read, don't be a keyboard jocky that just jumps on board with the hate train...

the fact is, mine works, the only issue was drifting in extreme temps. I live in Texas, I've never had the cold play a factor, and never had an issue in the summer. That's the pure fact. What more would you like?

 

Here, I'll post it again so you don't have to scroll back since you won't read anything other than truthaboutguns I know you don't like good research.
