[ARCHIVED THREAD] - EOTech Purchase Considerations

Posted: 3/28/2008 10:24:35 AM EDT

Putting together my first AR-15. It will be an A4 type carbine, intended for a SHTF urban scenario. I intend to put an EOTech on it. What are some model factors/features that I should consider for the urban SHTF environment? Anyone have Iraq type experiences that may guide choices here? Opinions? I should note that I have no AR-15 experiences nor battle experiences. I would like to know the types of features that are good, what works, etc., for said scenarios.

Thank you for your input.

I went with the 512 because it was the least expensive, it uses AA batteries which are cheaper and easier to find. It also isn't NV compatible, and since I have no need to use it with night vision why spend the extra money?

I would put some time in with the irons 1st, get to know the gun well..then go for the optics.After that I would go with the 512 or look to an aimpoint.Its all in what you feel is right for you.I would try both before you set your mind to one optic.
