I have had expensive aimpoints. My Primary Arms advanced micro red dot which uses a 5 year battery is just as good and as rugged as them at 3/4’s of the price. Holosun which is the same company makes the same micro red dot.

Try @Podmonkey maybe he still has this available 
DI Optical EG-1 Prismatic Red Dot.
An very nice Red Dot with a 30mm occular/objective FOV. No tint at all, crystal clear glass with a very precise 1.5 MOA dot.
DI Optics is a South Korean manufacturer that is known for supplying our and other NATO nations with gargantuan reflex sights for use on machine guns and other crew served weapons.
This optic takes a CR2032 battery.
I have used this optic for a lot of our 25 yard offhand rifle matches.
I am asking $250 for it.
I am selling both because I need the money.

For those that are looking at the 510 reviews, you may see when reviewed, that in auto mode it is just a tad dim for some people. What the reviews or directions don't mention is that when in auto mode, if you press up on the brightness button, there is a brighter version of auto mode. Plenty bright enough to in this mode.
Trijicon MRO for those looking to get a bombproof optic but not drop Aimpoint T1 or T2 money.
Holosun works just fine for a "safe queen"/"range toy"/"HD" not hard duty use most of us might use an AR for

I guess you haven’t seen the torture tests for these optics then. Freezed in a freezer. Baked in an oven. Dragged on a rope from a pickup truck. Still maintained zero.

Regarding the Holosun RMR type (507c) you might want to watch Aaron Cowans review and torture of it. I believe his company is Sage Dynamics.
I have watched it and it is safe dynamics, and yes its holding up really well but again it's not the same as a Trijicon. It broke, he is saying it's one of the better options out there but it's not the.
And also broke. But hey still same as aimpoint because it works for you needs

It appears that these are at least arguably decent, in my price range:
Holosun 510
EOTech 512
Trijicon MRO
Any thoughts on which is more favorable than the others? Or would any of these three be suitable?

Just because 2 optics can make it to point X without failure doesnt mean that they are the same if one of the optics can make it to point y and z
It looks like eotech has fixed the issues they were having that cause a massive lawsuit with the military and them refunding a lot of civilians

The glass broke. That’s it. It still showed the dot and still maintained zero. An aimpoint or trijicon would have suffered the same fate after being dragged by a pickup truck on a rocky road. Aimpoint or trijicon do not use indestructible glass.
Show me them breaking? Never said that holosun or some of the other budget friendly brands arent good for what most people will use them for, but stop lying lying to yourself and others in saying that a holosun or primary arms are the same thing or just as good

Does it keep zero after the glass breaks? Yes.
Does the battery last the same amount of years? Yes.
Can it withstand extreme heat and cold? Yes.
Can it withstand extreme shock and still function after being deliberately thrown with force onto concrete ? Yes.
You be the judge if you are getting more with an aimpoint. If it can withstand all those things, than it can withstand dings and bangs in combat. But maybe there is some other factor I’m missing. Please enlighten me.
No one can enlighten Will. Because will knows everything and is the subject matter expert on everything.. thank God primary arms is getting the new socom contract, it was a close one they almost lost out to Burris
Marine Cpl

It isn’t getting the Socom contract because it’s Chinese And the government has no reason to be budget minded with a Chinese copy.
The durability of these Chinese optic is fact Edward. So you can call me a know it all you want. That’s what you do in threads now. How about using facts instead of attacks?
I have had both. Have you? And just what do you think an optic goes through in combat? I can tell you from experience that at most it’s dings on the housing. I have never seen anyone destroy an optic.
Maybe you have seen optics take more abuse in the mailroom of the USS Tarawa. I don’t know.
No shit socom isnt looking at these that's my point they are not the same thing,
Again I never said these are bad options. You keep saying they are the same as optics in a different class.
But you know what you can just enjoy this thread and keep telling yourself that options A are the same as Options B because option be has been able to make it to begging standards of option B.
Fuck my life was much nicer when I ignored stupid shit.. going back to that.. enjoy being the subject matter expert on one more thing Will. Hopefully you have gotten ahold of the military to let them know about snake oil

You said that they were only good for range toys. That’s what you said. Yes. Go back to ignoring me because you cannot win.

What does your signature have to do with anything?
Either way go get your do all wd40 and congratulate yourself a little extra tonight
Everyone go ahead and buy whatever red dot you want they are all the exact same thing

See. That’s what I mean. Lost this one so you attack. You are a little man Edward. You attack people with a different opinion than you instead of just discussing things. Multiple people are sick of your shit. There is no need for snide remarks, hahaha, and all that other bs you like to do.
Who would have thought that you would behave like this because I jokingly made fun of your Glock? Shows your character and your size. Little. A little, bearded man that holds grudges.
I disagree with people here but I never disrespect them.
