Purchased from Optics Warehouse on 21/03/2021 (see last picture for invoice).
This is EOTech's smallest holographic sight, powered by a single CR123 (battery included in box). When mounted on a picatinny rail this sits at "absolute co-witness" with any iron sights you have installed, meaning the reticle of the sight will sit on top of the foresight blade when aiming.
The sight has two mounting methods onto a rail, by use of either a standard allen key, or a knurled thumb screw (both included).
Reticle is the classic EOTech design, with a single 1 MOA dot in the centre, and a 68 MOA ring around the edge. Target acquisition is quick as well as allowing for good situational awareness. I have compared this to cheap knockoffs purchased by friends and the quality is night and day. The clarity of the optical glass is fantastic, and the laser technology that EOTech uses to create the reticle almost projects it onto your target.
I have an astigmatism, and because of this I find the holographic reticle to be far easier to pick up than a normal red dot sight. This is a great option if you find red dots have "flares". I tried to get a good picture of the reticle but it was not possible with my iPhone camera.
This item is brand new, and has never been used other than being taken out of the box. Little to no damage, the only thing noticeable is a few scratches to the battery cap. Purchased on a whim to mount on a rifle that I ended up not buying, and has remained in my cupboard ever since. It has however been tested periodically and the battery kept separately. Looking for a new home where it will be used as intended.
