EoTech is way to bright and the circle is two thick, made me mad.


Hogs were 50 yards from the house on the other side of the springs in the pasture, I drove around the lake and made it 300 yards instead of 50.. They were walking to the west and the wind was out of the south. I moved south west and hit them about 500 yards from the truck. Shot the lead sow. And she dropped, two more shots at one the same size and I realize I'm way low, I quit trying. Check out sow and I hit her in the jaw at the base of the neck. 
Kinda disappointed in my laziness to not make sure it was dead on.

I think that particular EOTech is better reserved for hunting biohazard infected organisms and zombies Very Happy

Hogs might qualify as biohazard infected though. Very Happy

Nope. I never used NV on my old eotech and it was fine. I was told it would be a hit or a miss. Mine was a miss... I think the 65moa circle is to thick.

A non-NV compatible Eotech is eventually going to burn up your NV tube.

Wrong approach !
Get 2 more rifles to put those on, PLUS a NV compatible EoTech. Twisted Evil

I wish, I wanted to pick up a stripped lower so bad at the gun shop but I made myself walk out.

Just remember, Colby, there's no such thing as too many guns.
