Joelwf Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hey, I'm fairly new to this all, so y'all gunna have to bear with me! I currently have a pretty standard peq box on the rail of my aeg, and run a rds on a raised mount as my sight. I was looking into buying a 551 style holo sight, but was wondering whether it is tall enough to see over the peq box? Hopefully that makes sense?!

Guest Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Look for a G&P, probably 60-80. Ive never found an EOTech that was any good, but apparently Holy Warrior make decent EOTech’s, they deffo make decent clones of other sights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberlawyer Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I have two of these on different guns. https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/gp-553-eot-style-dot-sight As far as it goes these are absolutely as good as the clones get, but they are pretty pricey. You can get clones of the newer models, but these run on AAs which is very convenient as far as rechargeable a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberlawyer Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 The G&P have a very bright recticle. The transparency of the lense is ok so it’s usable in all conditions (real steel ones are clearer, but cost 3 times as much) the parallax error is low so accuracy is good If properly zeroed. Biggest downside is a small red dot is visible from the front of the gun, which I can see being a potential problem for night games (it’s too small to be noticeable in the day time). Again it’s not an issue on the real steel. On my main rifle I do run a vortex red dot in preference which is better, but then it’s a real steel sight so I would expect it to be.
