Need guidance on EoTech for NV
Need to finish up an upper and am left with one choice. I need to make this an economic decision (low $) so here goes. Which model of the Eotech will host the PVS-14 I bought from you along with a 3X magnifier AND is the least expensive model? I will go with an EXP2 on a later build when my pockets are fuller. Would like to be able to use AA batteries but that isn't a deal killer. Which EOTech model am I looking for?
The least expensive option would be to buy a 552 A65, on one of the board's equipment exchanges. I have 4 of them, and I bought all of them off EE's, for < $350Originally Posted by KillinSwede
ETA: sorry, Ident, I didn't even look to see that this was in your IP thread.

thanks HTR- I really appreciate and respect your opinion. Off to find one now.
In order to save a few bucks, you do not need the NV compatibile models. I have one that is and one that isnt. The one that isnt will still turn down far enough that it is barely even visible though a PVS-14. My understanding is that part of "NV Compatible" means that no light comes out the front for BG's with NV to see you. Unless you are on a 2way range, the std models work fine.
Edit: the one I have that isnt "NV compatible" that works perfect is a EOTech 516.A65/1. It uses AA batteries.

Swede,
HTR is correct with the 552 model and price that you can find them used for. As for using a non-NV Eotech, it's hit or miss. We have seen these work and also be to bright. I would suggest going with a NV compatible model so there are no worries.

I need one or possibly two of them so if any of you know about one let me know.

I've heard this too. Must vary by model or date or something. The one I have will actually go TOO low even for NV...you can barely see it through the PVS. Safest bet would be to get a NV one unless you can test it b4 buying.
