Just a confirmation about the G&Ps, they DO or did actually make different versions. From a bunch of the reviews out there on them (google G&P EOtech review) the newest ones seem to have no ghosting or reflective lens issues.

Hahaha... seriously, just get the real one, even if it's used. Like what has been stated a few times in this thread, you could sell it at the price or potentially more than you bought it for.

yeah, but the problem still lies in, I don't need a real one. If it's a red dot on a lense, then friggan sweet. There in lies the argument "get a real gun, it holds it's value a lot more then an airsoft gun." And like I said, I don't want one THAT bad, but a knock off works, looks cool, and I can use it. I mean, yeah a real one can go under water and work, is a real hologram (or something like that), do the dishes, clean the floors, and give good head, but Not one of those things I need to do with my airsoft gun. My problem lies with you de-railing this thread. Instead of adding something constructive to my question, you go on a rant as to why you dont need a real one. Well this isnt about what you need, it's about what I want. Your right, I am sorry. I just thought I would jump in on this thread instead of make a duplicate and find out more about Kustoms sight. Sorry for starting a fuss, I'll be more discreet next time. If you don't mind letting us know the rout you took, cause I really do want to know what you decided and why. I didn't mean to de-rail the thread, I just wanted to throw in my two cents.

I just got an Element 553 in the mail. It was on sale for 60 bucks (shipping included), so I had to try it. At first I was amazed. Site quality is awesome, picture was great, the reticule was nice and clear. ................until I mounted it. First the site doesn't lock, it's loose. I can fix that with some tape, but it should fit. Second the thing leans to the right. The way the mount is made when it is locked down it leans...a lot. Again I can probably fix it, but I shouldn't have to. Worth it? We'll see. I'm going out on a limb and saying for $60 bucks that it is.

Even if I hadn't seen who wrote that post, I could tell by the reseeding hairline I have nothing else to say. *Don't kill me*

You can never trust spell check to give you the appropriate word. Buy I will take my punishment and suffer watching a fat guy on a segway.

Talk about HORRIBLE reflection on that Element 553...

Yeah the glass is pretty shiny. I didn't really pay any attention to it until I read a notice on L3s website about "copycat Eotechs". They said they lack trademarks, have a red and green reticule, and extremely reflective glass.

Just to add something real to this...
I used to have a real EOTech 511, and I can honestly say it's SO much better than the G&P copy. My friend (Dahm) had the good $100+ G&P copy, and at first I thought it was really nice. No, it didn't fit perfectly on his rail, but tape fixed that. And it didn't seem to ghost... too much. However, the lens was really reflective.
Then he used it in-game on a moderately sunny day, and he said he could barely see anything. The reticle, even on it's brightest setting was almost completely washed out in even moderate sun.
So from my experience, I'd say go with the real steel EOTech.
Aimpoints are a different story IMO though... (but that's not important now).
