Question on your zero check at the range, were you using a rest or something with each remount and 5 shot string?

Yeah it was benched in a sandbag rest at a known distance range. Zero wind, about 50 degrees OAT and 60% humidity at about 300 feet ASL if you were wanting that information. The groups didn’t wander at all, but the rifle has plastic handguards with 2 MOA ammo so comparative group size and shift was negliable at best.

I don’t think it’ll an Eotech will ever have the battery life of an Aimpoint. They’re pretty damn on batteries though. I just wish you could turn off the auto-shutdown that happens every 8 hours.

awesome, i know it was small, but was wondering if as much user error was removed for the testing was all, great job so far. looking forward to more :smiley:

You are 100% correct, Eos will never compare to Aimpoints in battery life. Its the nature of having to project a bigger image on the Eos as opposed to a single dot on the Aimpoints.

I think it’s more of the laser vs LED reason.

Looking forward to an update soon. :slight_smile:

Yeah thats the obvious one :smiley:

I NEVER appreciated the auto turn off feature.

I am going to a rock quarry this weekend. I will be bringing my helmet cam and hopefully some steel to confirm the zero on.

Can’t wait to see this!

im considering going back to the EoTech after I sell my Viper PST 1-4x24 MOA. I believe the red dot will fit my shooting needs better.

Looking forward to the follow-up after the rifle is dropped a few hundred feet into the quarry.

Not quite that kind of quarry. They dug a big hole out of a mountain for building roads and left part of the hole there and years of PNW weather have filled it in a bit. There is a large flat area for who knows what, and lots of open space.

In that case it appears there is a rocky service with which to run over it with a truck. :smiley:

I’m interested in seeing the outcome of this!

I own n ESPX 2.0 OPMOD. with the built in mount. I take it off every time I clean the rifle, and it returns right to zero without touching it.

I really want to see if these newer models hold up.

Driving home now. After 3 shotgun blasts, a jeep running it over, dropping it on gravel at 20 MPH, smashing it against a tree, and dropping it optic first on to gravel, the XPS still works. More detailed write up before the end of the weekend.

  • Well… Here I am.

Can not wait to see this!!!My EXPS showed up yesterday :slight_smile:
