What do you mean by blurry? If you're talking about the reticle then it's your eyes that are the problem not the sight itself. Go put some glasses on or take a picture with your phone and see what I mean. It could also be the lighting conditions in the area you're in. For example during daytime my 551 replica is perfectly clear but indoors or at night it gets blurry.
LightningCh Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Could be the eye relief? Well, lack of... My pinty reflex comes up really clear on pictures but to the eye, regardless of distance to sight it looks a little blurred (so i just stick it to simple dot and its enough)

Everyone I work with also sees the reticule as blurry.
sonofsammo Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Was reading this and it seemed relevant:https://www.opticsplanet.com/howto/how-to-choose-a-red-dot-sight-red-dot-sight-reticle-sizes.htmlTL;DR - don't worry about them being a bit blurry
Guest Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I’ve had quite a few, most are too dark for indoors, but never had a fuzzy problem lol
Marc.RG1 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Both of mine, different brands work well too, if your noticing the red is blurred but the green is not turn the brightness down.
Root Admin proffrink Posted February 28, 2018 Root Admin Posted February 28, 2018 Even proper holographics like Holosun (for example) are blurry if you don't use them right. Keep both eyes open, relax focus and look past the reticule rather than at it. Cheaper replicas might also require the correct eye relief by moving them forward or backwards on the rail.

Hooray for forums filled with people who know what they are doing lol. Ill have to try this with mine and see if it makes a difference (i was aware about the eye relief, just not the first bit)
LightningCh Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Update: Following Proffrink's instructions my sight is really clear now Although a bit weird on the eye looking through the lens and not at the bright light lol
E21A Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 Thanks for all the replies. I’ve sent them all back now! Lol i tried them them at various distances and with both eyes open etc. what at brands are you all using?
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted March 6, 2018 Supporters Posted March 6, 2018 i'm running just a we clone and i'd mirror what gepard said- without glasses (very very mildly short sighted) it's blurry, but with glasses (or a magnifier) it's crystal clear. i remember reading it's something to do with the hologram being made to appear at optical infinity, so it looks more like a laser that's on the target and doesn't need you to focus on 2 things, hence why it's blurry if you don't have good eyesight.

Even a one point difference in either eye will make the sight appear blurry under certain conditions. Again, it could just be the lighting conditions. You may not need glasses for day to day life but in order to get perfect vision you will have to put some on and see if it helps. I guarantee it will.
Supporters Shizbazki Posted March 6, 2018 Supporters Posted March 6, 2018 Mines not blurry. The edges on mine and everything look like if you shine a laser off a surface and look at that surface. Also the front element is not mirrored, i get no parallax issues or fogging. It is in about the middle but towards the forward end of the upper Reciever Mines and EoTech 552. As for brand and model mines an L3 Communications EoTech 552.

Cheap eotech clone sights are not holographic just red dots.

Immortal Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 My Eotech 552 is not blurry and the lense is not tinted in anyway, clear as day. However I do occasionally see a slight ghost at obscure angles (just the lenses doing that mirror effect). Funnily enough with tinted goggles it all goes away as the ghost is very faint, in daylight it is hardly visible. It is also invisible if the sight is perfectly lined up dead on as the mirror effect is matched neutralizing itself. It's worked for 10 years on airsoft/airguns and cost about £90. If anyone is seeing the blurring like a comet with a tail then it is stigmatism.
Supporters Shizbazki Posted March 6, 2018 Supporters Posted March 6, 2018 2 hours ago, Adolf Hamster said: true, but the principle is the same no it isn't! Fake EoTech clones are just red dot sights that bounce the LED light off the front elements mirrored surface. Real EoTech clones are actually holographic sights and yes the front glass element is clear.
Steptoe Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 All the clones I’ve seen, the lenses are to reflective and you can’t really see through them.
Supporters Lozart Posted March 19, 2018 Supporters Posted March 19, 2018 Either I have better eyesight than you lot or I've been dead lucky buying cheap EoTechs! I use a spectacularly cheap one at The Mall and I have no problem with the lens being dark. I have a G&G one too that is fine to see through but fits the rail on my G&G SCAR like a dick in a shirtsleeve so it tends to get left behind!
Steptoe Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 post some pics? would love to see some comparisons.
clumpyedge Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Bit of an old post but if you want a decent Eotech replica I've used the following... G&P Hurricane G&G Of these the Hurricane (also the most costly) was the best followed by the G&P and then the G&G
E21A Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 Thanks I got a different style in the end but I’ve just bought another rifle so may look into your suggestions as I’ll be wanting another optic soon.
Wo1f Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Never had a blurring issue but why they feel the need to tint the lenses is beyond me. The couple I’ve tried have been much too dark.

The couple I’ve tried have been much too dark. Its becuse the clones are not holo sights, they’re reflecting, so to get a good reflection, they mirror the view lense.
