"... Huh? The EOTech center dot covers 1MOA, compared to 3 in an Aimpoint. Without the EOTech's cirle around it, the Aimpoint needs a bigger dot to "find" it fast."

The *center* dot in an EOTech is 1moa, but the surrounding circle bleeds into the center dot at cranked up brightness, which most people will find out is the only real all-around usable setting.

When set this way in daylight, you're looking at one big red splotch.

I'd rather have one single red or green pencil-point dot in the middle of my view, rather than something that looks like the automatic lead reticle from an F-4 Phantom jet's aerial gunsight like the EOTech I bought has.

Comparing my ACOG's simple and unobtrusive inverted red chevron to my big splotchy EOTech's reticle, my opinion is that I can get on target much faster with the ACOG even at the reduced field of view at 4x magnification.

That's not my experience. Maybe our eyes experience the EOTech differently, or you got a bad sight.

Yes, ACOGs are great, if you will pay more for a sight than a rifle. I'd rather have another rifle, and thereby another rifleman in my post SHTF pickup squad.
