After about a year of trying to decide on a close quarters optic for my 16" Armalite flat top, I ordered a Holosight from Bushmaster. (552 AA battery model)
I finally got it to the range on Sunday and was very impressed. I zeroed my rifle for 50 yards. The sight in took no time at all. The brightness adjustments worked excellent (it was a very bright day).
The 1 moa dot was a plus as far as precision goes. I noticed most red dot optics use a 4 moa or larger dot. I was able to make hits on the 6" and 10" steel gongs at 300yds. The finer dot didn't completely obscure the target.
Field of view is also excellent. I know shooting with both eyes open is the usual method with this type of optic, but at the longer ranges I was still closing one eye. Habit I guess.
All I can say is I am very happy with my Eotech!
