Re: Eotech Red Dot is it worth it?

With an Eotech 512 and FSP you will get perfect (absolute) cowitness, add a yankee hill riser mount and get 1/3 cowitness. With the 517, I believe the riser mount is built in to give you 1/3 cowitness with FSP.

I have no issues with Eotech reticle but my Aimpoint Comp4s looks like a blob to me. I have to set the Aimpoint power just a little to low for my liking to get the blob to go away. Uncorrected vision can be an issued as well as corrected vision. It comes down to preference and my recommendation is to stick to something that uses AA batteries (Eotech512,517, Aimpoint Comp4s). The Eotechs start at $400 and the Comp4s around $700-800 and may require you buy an extra mount (suggest Larue).

Recently I discovered the LUCID HD-7 Gen 3 for $190. It is not a knock off but rather a low priced competitor quality optic from all the reviews I have read. I am seriously considering one for the price. It takes AA battery, has adjustable reticle and built in mount, is waterproof, holds zero, is shock proof and youtube test shows it to be drop tested satifactory and holds zero. I might give it a try.
