| I recently did some horse trading and got ahold of an Acog reflex sight model RX-01-14 6.5 MOA with an amber dot. The dot does not seem very bright- don't get me wrong I can make it out quite well, but it is surly not as bright as my Eotech model 512. Is the Acog a little lighter than the Eotech, or is the Acog starting to wear out |
| Mine is the 4 min dot and is plenty bright. It is even brighter in sunlight as the fiber optic in the front gathers more rays. I also find mine less glaring in dim to no light and it works well with light from my flashlight. i used to get a little bit of wash out from my flashlight if my aimpoint dot was 2 bright in low light. also i have seen many a issue with battery operated sights. With the reflex this is not an issue. |

A Trijicon reflex sight is not an ACOG Actually it has been marked by Trijicon as such. All their optics are considered 'ACOGs' - it's just us AR snobs that tend to only use that term for their magnified optics. Yep just not all have "BAC" ACOG ADVANCED COMBAT OPTICAL GUNSIGHTS |

I have a Trij Reflex with the 4 moa amber dot. I really like it. Especially for target shooting. You can see through the dot to the bullseye below.
I also have a Eotech 517 I got recently. Looks like a video game by comparison. All laser sparkly. I can see how that is a great recticule for fast target accquistion. Zombie duty?  But I prefer the smaller/lighter Reflex sight with that amber dot for general target practice.
But I thought the Eotech was pretty neat. Takes common AA's. Built like a tank too. Last time I was over at Antique and Modern Repair in Va. Beach Va., he had a gently used VCG Relex sight with box and paperwork. Had the 12 moa triangle amber recticule. Just $385 with mount. May still be for sale. (Naturally I saw it there the week after I got my Eotech.) |
