No one responded to me in the scope threads, an i was wondering if anyone here could answer this, I was looking at a eotech 557.AR223 or a eotech 553.A65 for my bushmaster m4, which one is a better deal, and is better over all?

557's AA, buttons on side.

553's 123 and buttons on rear.

So, it depends on if you're going to mount a magnifier and which batteries you prefer.

Otherwise, they do basically the same thing.  Although the 557 is cheaper.

I have a 553 and see no need for the buttons on the side.  And, for me, it uses the same bats as my Surefire light.

My two cents, plus or minus a penny or two.

I have the 553 with the 3x magnifier.  If you plan on using a magnifier, get the 557.  It would make things slightly easier.
