How are these sights compared to a EOTech? Comparable? or a cheap knockoff?

They are a EOTech knockoff. I went to a gun shop to ask about an EOTech and told them that I originally purchased the Sightmark. He immediately asked how long it lasted. I never even sighted it in and everyone I have talked to essentially said you get what you pay for.

I have not had a chance to use a EOTech but I do know these are very solid feeling. The sight is very clear and has good settings.

True answer is you get what you pay for. It's an accurate sight and is fun to use,, but if you need it for high precision or active duty use, stick to the upper quality. For a hobby it's a fine sight.

Yes. Depending on your specific model, they're either as good as the factory sights in daylight, or better. In dim light or in the dark, there is no comparison. They're bright in darkness, and with a little practice you can learn to line them up while focused on the target.

My bro and I used an EOTech scope before on a previous build M4 rifle. The EOTech could NOT handle the jolting after approx 150 rounds it simply cracked. The interior lens starred and webbed so badly that it was useless. The Aimpoint PRO is built with high quality parts for the public market based on the MILSPEC manufacturing methods they use for the military. They just use slightly lower grade materials to get the scope within the civilian price market range. In my opinion, I would avoid the EOTech based on my experience with them. Just saying......

I have bought 4 of these scopes. 3 were fitted to .22 rifles - after about 3 months the reticle came loose in one, the other 2 are going strong after about 500 rounds each. I have a forth on a Lee Enfield .303, I have only fired 30 rounds, over 3 sessions, but it has held zero so far - sorry I can't give you a better set of numbers . The 3 surviving scopes have all held zero and I have been pleased with them. At 75 yds I can put the .22s into a inch hole all day long. If you have any doubts I would suggest paying $200+ for something like a Leupold, better to spend 200 than waste 70 .... at the end of the day you only ever get what you paid for - but you might just get lucky!

if your using an AR-15 the sights on top are no good - I have scope sighted in at 100 yrds and zeroed in fine - then it has hash marks for further distance shooting . all in all a good scope . But I bought a vortex strikefire red dot sight for my AR-15 and it is amazing 175.00 dollars you get the best bang for the buck zeroed in at 100 yrds and excellent I now use sniper scope on my 715T .22 rifle .

well also bought the mechanically fixed HiViz sights they work are are helpful. depending on if you have a rail or smooth barrel would decide the type but in either case the rail mount winds up being about 18" apart when targeted with a laser bore sighting tool. Its just slaps on but sighting is another store.

I have not compared the two but I highly recommend these. I wish I had put them on sooner. I've since been changing over all my pistols that have these sights available. This, however, is my opinion and I feel I made the right choice for my weapon.

Mine were for xd mod2 and from my understanding they are the same dovetail. But my experience was below poor as the first set came defective and the second front sight stopped working after 40rds at the range thru it. And wasted money for gunsmith to mount them and then remove them for me. Ended up with trijHD sights instead and would have done Dawson precision but they were out of stock. Good luck

Yes they are. If you are using them for a real firearm, buy the good Magpul sights. I am using them on a KSG 12 gauge and they do what they need to do. I am not using them for accuracy in any way. The sights are licenced by Magpul for Airsoft and PTS [Police Training Symulation] to a company in China. The quality is quite bad. Thanks for the question. Any time.

Yes, as good as fixed sights on any weapon. You have to adjust them by test firing and learn how to align them with your target & compensate for distance & windage. You're still better off with a scope.

Thanks for the quick reply. BTW, would you recommend the Ameriglo sights you purchased, or another manufacturer?

I have used this with an EoTech. Would guess red dots would be Ok, but not a magnified rifle scope, eye relief issues.

I disliked it so much I gave it away. Cheap mount, poor optics. You need to spend some money if you want good optics. I think Eotech is the way to go. Good luck.

They work the same as three dot sights, they don't gather light so they don't have any advantage over plain three dot sights. Where these are at their best is in total or near total darkness and you might consider a different front sight Tritium lamp, such as yellow rear and green front. Some difference that will show the front sight better at night. It's all a matter of choice and cost. Buy the ones you like for the best price but the originals are on very tight and I had to use a file on the sight's to make them fit. Good luck.

They are small .019 but very bright. I have no problem quickly acquiring a great sight picture, (and that is with 50 yr. old eyes that require bifocal lenses. The sighting in was exactly as advertised and I was impressed with the system. I would advise that the React Pro, (aluminum sight) is the way you should go though. As I was out of state on a hunt when my poly sight broke (while target practicing). Fortunately I was able to find a trophy ridge Micro AlphaV5 sight at a bow shop about an hour away and bought it. Installed it and re-sighted my bow quickly. I actually like the V5 better, (aluminum & longer sight plane, sights in quickly but does require Allen wrenches) They are small .019 but very bright.

Yes they are and I am happy with them. They came out as ordered from two different suppliers thru Amazon because I did not want to wait. At the time the sights were hard to find in stock so I had to order that way. But it came out fine.

The Acog is great, but there are the same type "calibrated" per weapon platform. Best advice is check Trijicon main site to verify the scope fits your platform needs.
