Where did you find the Bushnell Holosight for $200?

Still, that's a damned reasonable price for an Eotech. Thanks for the tip!I lied its 208 shipped ;-) was planning on posting it if the one I get is ok never delt with optic sale before.

IIRC, weren't the Bushnell Holosights _made_ by Eotech?that is not an eotech....just a bushnell knockoff

EOTech does make the optic for Bushnell but it's certainly not the same quality as an actual EOTech.
Not to be an ass, but this completely contradicts what I've read elsewhere, which is that Eotech makes the sight, and it's basically the same as the other Eotechs sans the armored casing and a couple other features. Given the pricing, this seems reasonable.It's an entirely different unit. It doesn't say "EOTech" anywhere on the unit because it isn't an EOTech. The design layout of the EOTech is what they're going for, people who want an EOTech look without an EOTech price.
Sorry I can't post at work. I did alot of research before ordering. I actually picked up a Bushnell XLP(low profile cheap holosight) cheap to make sure I liked holosights before buying a new one. The bushnell is the same sight as an eotech with a couple of differences. First they are gen1 eotechs meaning you don't get as good of battery life or as many brightness settings. Also, they don't have a night vison mode(ir) just red and they don't have a metal hood. That being said for a weekend paper puncher the Bushnell holosight is fine and in the rare chance I need it in a shtf situation the Bushnell will deliver long as I don't beat on it with a hammer. That being said I would never use a battery operated sight without some sort of back up iron sights.
One of the better threads I came across and the info matches what I found else where.

Noveske? LWRC? Barrett!?!?
I'd love to pick up a Noveske 14.5" lightweight Reece barrel in a VLTOR VIS upper receiver, but I don't have $1500 or whatever to blow on an upper...
Didn't realize there'd been more posts on this thread.
While he'd only be gaining 2" of barrel length I assume that the 18" uses a rifle-length gas system, in which case he'd be gaining nearly double the sight radius. For someone learning to use irons accurately that wouldn't be bad thing at all, plus the rifle length gas system is slightly more...pleasant to shoot (although neither is bad at all).
+1 to your mags, I love PMags, DH are also excellent as are Okay. Aimsurplus.com has C-Products 30 round mags for $7.95 each. I've heard mixed reviews about C-Products although I've never had any issues with 'em.

I readily admit there are other sights which are Eotech knock-offs not made by Eotech; that does not seem to be the case here.
I have a noveske with VIS and a LMT Piston both 16".
They are pretty much safe queens. I like shooting my flat top Colt 6520 (pencil barrel) most. I got it down to 5 lbs vs. 9 on those others. It's weird I'm not a small dude but I love light guns. My favorite Shotgun is Benelli Ultra Light have a SBE sitting in safe. My Carry Pistol is a plastic XD even though I have sigs. And I have been trying to make my AR as light as possible for a year now with all the ammo and shit attached it gets unbelievably heavy quick if you use it all day.
Anyone want a good deal on a aimpoint or eotech the real deals email me. I have a few FS. Eotech 553, Aimpoint Micro T1 and Aimpont Comp C3.
Just thought I would post that optic sales doesn't have the holosights and so they gave me a refund. Well guess I will try and find a good deal on an eotech.
Woot for thread resurrection!
There's nothing wrong with EOTechs and I'm not sure where you're hearing of them just falling off, especially falling off of mounts considering they don't use mounts (unless you're talking about something like a LaRue QD mount).
If you do get an EOTech though avoid the "N Cell" battery versions like the plague, they tend to have alot of issues. The CR123 battery variants are the best followed closely by the AA battery versions. Also, newer technology models have the least issues (XPS-2 being the best or so I hear).
That said I prefer Aimpoints, they're more rugged and the batteries literally last 50-100x as long. The reticle of the EOTechs is pretty slick though.
