EOTech make the sight for Bushnell who resell it. It's one way that EOTech can legally export their wares from the US since that product is intended for recreational shooters and hunters rather than military. It's completely legal to ship to Canada or anywhere else. from the US.
The only crappy feature is it's inability to use AA batteries. :(!

Yeah, that's the down side. Those Type N batteries are a bit harder to come by than AA. I like my 552 replicas for that. However, the real deal holosight is SOOOO nice.

Batteries for the bushnell are very easy to find. They are standard camera batteries, goto London drugs 4.99 for 2 pack energizer brand.

N-Type are easy to find, but not as easy as AA. You can walk into any corner store and pick up AA if need be. N-type will require Cdn Tire, some drug stores, camera shops, etc.

A Holosight is not an EOTech. Sorry.

(There are some fundamental differences, although, they are based on the same projection technology.)

And why buy a Eotech in USA if you can get them over here?!?!

511, 512, 551 and 552 have been flowing into Canada relatively unimpeded. They are quite easy to get. 553, 555, 557 have not been authorized for export to us, so any that come available are outside legal channels.

If you have bought a 553 for example, and needed to send it back to EoTech for service, forget it. It won't be returned to you (and some unfortunate souls have found this out the hard way).

A real EoTech is so much nicer than any clone, but ensure you have proper protection for your lense. Last thing you want is to have it shot out, even though replacements can be bought on E-bay.

Sad but true.

Try Shooting clubs... They usually have what it takes to get them for you also.

Real EOTECH is like $500+ range.

but why do you want a RS Eotech? I doubt many guns fire accurate and consistent enough to actually use it to the fullest ability.

Huh? How so? It's an RDS, not a magnified optic.

Take a real EoTech and a clone side by side, turn them on, then look in the sights from the front. Real one has no leakage of light, clones do. At night time, or in low light, you can spot the clone very easily, and it becomes a problem of light discipline for the user.

Look at a real EoTech through a 3X. The real one has a much sharper reticle than any clone when magnified.

Skladfin April 25th, 2009 01:04
planning to put this on ur kraken?

Danke April 25th, 2009 01:34
The real ones are that much nicer, even compared to a Hurricane. Too bad they're locked behind the US curtain.

xPhuong April 25th, 2009 17:22
