First of all, if this belongs in the accessories forum, I apologize, and feel free to move it mods.
Basically, I'm looking into purchasing an EOTech Replica Holo sight, since there is no way I could afford a real one, and wouldn't put it on an airsoft gun if I did have a real one. The only issue is that I'm not sure what kind of off brands make a good solid replica of a 552 or similar. I've seen quite a few people using them, and decided on one for my m4 and a magnifier to give it a bit of range. Any suggestions for a quality EOTech Replica brand?

King Arms if you can find one online. I have not looked for them online but at a local airsoft shop I've seen and used them and they're good with a Red/Green illumination.

Just picked up a G&P with Windage and Elevation adjustment for about $50 shipped on eBay. Took about 3 weeks to arrive however.
Doesn't have any trades, but he included a free flip-up lens cover unit. Not to mention I paid as much as most people sell for used.

Best quality replica EoTech is made by Hurricane. They all pretty much go down hill from there, and the only way to get anything better is to buy the real deal.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'll look at prices and go from there.

I'm not sure what your budget is but have you considered buying a used real one? It won't be dirt cheap but it will be less than buying a real one brand new, obviously. If you can swing it, you definitely won't regret it. I've had mine for almost 3 years now and it holds up really well (I bought mine new though, not that that would make a difference for longevity).

I have a real deal 553 and I absolutely love it, I have had mine for about 6-7 months now and it is probably the best optic I have had, I had one of the clone Eotechs before and it was just absolutely horrible. It had ghosting problems and in the daylight you couldn't even see the reticule.

Those who have seen a real EOTech reticule know what I'm talking about.
