Kraut,
Have you T&Ed them both yourself?

NousDefionsDoc,

I have been using the eotech on SWAT for a couple of years now. I like em and personally find them quick in CQB situations. I have not played with the aimpoint very much, but when I did the field of view seemed smaller than the eotech overall....tube versus tubeless, I guess.

I plan on taking my eotech and borrowing an aimpoint to take to my unit so everyone can get some hands on with them, including me.

My unit has no optics at this time and have been given the go ahead to purchase some. So we will be taking the matter seriously and doing some good T&E on both.

Yeah, that was what I was going to suggest. I wouldn't make a recommendation without having played with them. Don't forget when you are playing to use them for intended purpose and for what you need them for.

Thank you Sir for all this information. Spent about 3 hours going from section to section googling everything you said just so I could fully understand what you were talking about. Again thank you.

Just so you know I didn't want an Aimpoint until they introduced the 2MOA dot. Don't even mess with the 4MOA Aimpoint, go straight to the 2MOA.
What I have not done is fire the 2MOA at night, but I have little doubt it will work fine in that situation.
