Daniel248 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Hi all!! I'm in a little bit of a predicament with my next buy. It will be my first scope and I'm not 100% on my choice. I have in mind a G&P 551/552/553 one of those and I'm slightly swaying towards the 553 Has anyone got one that can give me a thumbs up or down on them or if there is a better option out there? Thanks in advance guys!!!

Root Admin proffrink Posted November 7, 2015 Root Admin Posted November 7, 2015 If you're not entirely fussed about the look, I can totally recommend the UTG red dot. Cheap, very bright and can also withstand the recoil from my DG M249 with no issues.
Baz JJ Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Ive got the G&P 556 on my 416. The thing to consider is how you are going to protect the front glass as they are expensive to replace, I went for the 556 because the battery space is smaller and you can get a flip down protector closer. The longer nose ones take a lot of rail space, especially if you have a magnifier behind it like I do. As a L3 EoTech clone its perfectly serviceable and reasonable quality as you would expect for the money. Mine came with a chewed up hex screw which means Ive never been able to get the outer cover off to fit a protector.
Root Admin proffrink Posted November 7, 2015 Root Admin Posted November 7, 2015 Guns Modify also do a very nice and clear cover unlike some of the cheapo ones that allegedly are a bit misty at times.
Supporters jcheeseright Posted November 8, 2015 Supporters Posted November 8, 2015 552 uses AA batteries, 553 uses AAA batteries, 551 uses LR44 batteries. Of those the AAs and AAAs are cheapest/easiest to get and AAA are ligher/smaller. With that in mind I'd say the 553 is the best option although they're all functionally the same.
