[Guest EasilyObsessed]

Im using the Millet DMS. Great scope and a very reasonable price.

You mean price wise or height wise?

You can mount any cheap scope on them; if that is what you want.

I’m using a Leupold, but I’m just saying….

I bought an AimShot Holographic to play with. It’s not a EOTech but it’s not $500 either.

Midway has them for $139. ($114 if you have a C&R)

the SPOT red dots get great reviews. I think they run $150.

[Guest abailey362]

check for a deal on a NC star. They are cheap but make decent stuff...especially for the price

what makes a holographic sight so great and so different

[Guest price g]

Holographic sights are intended to be used with both eyes open. Regardless of your head/eye position, the bullet goes wherever the dot is.

[Guest big496]

sweet do the have much magnification

[DaveTN]

what makes a holographic sight so great and so different

The fastest target acquisition I have ever seen, both eyes open with a full field of view, small unit that weighs less than 9 oz, picatinny mount, lighted selectable reticles. You don’t even have to shoulder the weapon; all you need is to be able to see the HUD.

sweet do the have much magnification

They don’t have any. (There may be some, but most of the ones I have seen don’t have any.)

Yeah and they will cost you more than the sight. Larue has a PoBoy special that includes the mount and a Hensoldt 3x magnifier for $199. rest of them run in the $650+ range!

i bought a red dot at the goodman show a couple months ago, i paid 40 for it, new in the box with 2 batteries, works great! the brand is called Leapers.

[Guest big496]

has anyone had any experience with the bushnell holosight is it a good one? is it combatable with the eotech or other magnifiers?

Made by the same place. The Eotech has a few more bells and whistles, mainly the hood.

[Guest big496]

sweet the buhnell is lots cheaper whats dif about the hood any thing that matters?

Thats what I'm using on my Mossberg.Mine has held zero since I stuck her on there.

Well actually it has held high,but thats just because I'm to lazy to zero it

[Smith]

From what I understand only if you drop it!

[Guest big496]

sweet im totaly buying the bushnell ill let yall know how i like it

[Guest big496]

so i got the bushnell its awsome as far as i can tell its just like the eotec it just dosnt have the extra hood like the eotec and i cant find all the statistics that the eotec has i dont know if it can be used with nigt vision or not or all the other stuff but as far as i can tell its the same sight but lots cheaper

[DaveTN]

Well here is the difference in my cheap AimShot Holographic and the EOTech…

Maybe one of you guys with the Bushnell can try this.

Put the dot on a man size target about 30 yards away. Hold the rifle still and move your head. Does the dot move? With my AimShot it does; with the EOTech it did not.

That’s parallax; and that is what I would guess the difference in price will get you.

But if it doesn’t move…. You made an outstanding deal and the prices will be falling in line shortly.
