I’m about to be in the market for an optic quite soon, and trolling around Ebay, I came across this Aimpoint M2 with a lot of extras. Question I have, specially with my inexperienced eye, is this a clone or the real deal.
I’m on the fence with whether to go with the Aimpoint for its durability and crazy battery life, or the Eotech, for one being cheaper, and its optic and view. Looking to do 3-gun and carbine courses.
I’m leery of anything on Ebay…however, you have to balance that against the reputation of the seller. Looking at the link, it seems like a good deal ($477, including covers, killflash, and QRP mount)…
It really comes down to what they send you…a lot of the photos look like stock photos.
Personally, I would rather purchase from someone here…either a sponsor, or buy used from a member here. I got a great deal on an ML2 & mount from SHIVAN a couple of months ago.
My biggest thing about getting an aimpoint is the mount. I want something that is GTG and won’t move or break because it isn’t firearms rated, and not airsoft. Honestly, if the mount wasn’t in the offer, I would be going for the EOtech.
