I love my Aimpoint. Accurate & reliable. Spent a year in Iraq with one and never let down

My vote would go to eotech. They are simple and reliable.

I saw way more rifles in Iraq with aimpoints than anything else, some beat all to hell, and still working. Only eotechs were the air force... if i get a reflex/dot type optic it will be an aimpoint, and probably a 2moa dot.. I would have a set of backup iron sights on any AR, as to optics it depends what you want to do.. if it's a 100yds and less defensive gun, the aimpoint is hard to beat (but it's also 400$).. for a general purpose, want to be able to shoot 300yds, consider QR rings and a compact handy 2-7 optic like the weaver, burris fullfield2, or redfield.. try one for quick work at 10yds, see if you arent almost as good as a red dot-and a whole lot more useful at distance. (a 1.5-4.5 variable is an option too) the weaver and burris seem to take a beating pretty well, and the redfield should, it's leopould built- and these are 150$ price range optics..

The Marines were using eotechs at least through 2006 in Iraq.

maybe so, but every marine I saw in 05 had ACOG's.. which are great optics, but they are also 1200$.. the eotech does have finer aiming point available, wider field of view, the ability(option) to use AA batt's, they have battery life in 100's of hrs, not 100,000's, but also can be set up to auto shut off after several hrs, they arent all bad, dont get me wrong..
