I have always wanted to put a EOTech 512 on my AR. Now they have the 517 which has the controls on the side of the optic instead of the back of the it. I like that better then the controls on the 512. I've read a lot of really good things about the Aimpoint PRO lately. Now I'm on the fence as to which optic I want to get.
What are the pro's and con's with each of the two mentioned optic's? Which ever one I go with, I'm going to mount it so it will always co-witness with my iron sights in the bottom 1/4 or 1/3 of the optic. I'm going to use a rear A2 sight that will always be there and not be a flip up sight. My front sight is a "F" marked fixed sight.
Give me your opinions of both sights. My AR is a 5.56mm carbine with a A4 flat top, A2 buttstock and 16" barrel.
Thanks, NYH1.
