Im planning to purchase a red dot sight. But im stuck between these three.
1.Aimpoint comp m4 replica with full trades-$45
2.Trijicon ACOG replica with full markings- $55
3.Eotech 552 replica with no markings- $65
Again these are all replica, not to be mistaken with its real steal counterparts.
You can find all these optics at ebaybanned but I just need help.
They all work the same way(internally except the eotech has a led reflective system)

If I absolutely had to get one I would probably go with the Aimpoint replica. But, I personally wouldnt get any of them.....I would spend it on more worthy upgrades first then worry about tacticool stuff later. Or.....if the weapon has already been sufficiently upgraded then I would use that money on gear that I needed.

Don't spend a lot of money on a red dot. Just get a cheap red dot that will do its job for airsoft. The only reason for you to get one of those would be for looks.

I do need a red dot that works nicely and looks good. And I do not plan on upgrading my gun internally anytime soon.
I also already have enough gear. Im just asking which would look the best, since they all work the same way.

First, I would recommend that you buy from somewhere in America. Ebaybanned just sells knockoff stuff. Second, you should ask yourself what you are looking for in a sight. If it mostly cosmetic, go with which you like better. If you're looking at ACOGs, find one with a reticle you think would support you better, and decide if you want one with a magnification capability. As for EO tech replicas, the only one I'd spend the money on is the Hurricane 553, because I've seen those thing be put through hell and work flawlessly.

I think that Aimpoint's will always look better than EOTechs.

I have had good experiences with chinese retailers. Most american retailers, especially evike rebrands them into "Matrix" and sells them for a higher price. And all the clone sights are knockoffs of their real steel counterparts, so there really can't be a knockoff of a knockoff.

I could not agree more. These Hong Kong sites are killing American airsoft retailers who employ AMERICAN WORKERS! |

dread I'm not a fan of the buy from an American retailer argument because you make what percentage on each sale of a sight 10%-30% goes into your pocket. that's what 10 to 30 cents on the dollar and the rest goes back to china anyways. so how many sights do you have to sell for you to hire one person at say $10 an hour? I support buying from American retailers for cheaper and faster shipping, i support buying from local retailers to support your regional airsoft community. but for jobs alone no i don't support. secondly I believe as a consumer its my job to look out for my bottom line just as its the retailers job to look out for their bottom line and balance price with sales, and business practices.
on the sights though look at an open face reflex sight the aimpoints eotechs and acogs will restrict your field of view when looking through them and will have greatly reduced field of view compared to an open face reflex sight but as a whole if your using white bb's then you should be able to see your bbs and where they go anyways which makes sights unimportant.
