I was looking around for a good Eo Tech 522 replica, and I stumbled across the G&P replica on Evike. So, I looked at some reviews and, I may just be an idiot, can't find out if it is a red dot or actually a holographic sight. Any information/comments/answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

They're all red dots. I have a cheap $50 552 and it works fine, but I prefer the clone ACOGs with Doctor sights. Dual optics is a wonderful thing and magnification can really help.

None of the replica EOTechs are holographic.

Thanks for clearing the up for me guys. Does anyone have any experiances with the G&P replicas?

I haven't had any experience with their EOtechs, but G&P makes awesome AIMPOINTs. They're really bright and the newer ones have both red and green dots.

Thanks Ghast. I might just have to look into those. I just realized that I wrote 522 instead of 552  |

G&P is the way to go, their Aimpoints are top notch, and I've heard nothing but good stuff about their EOtech knockoffs...
It's rumored that the "techs are made in the same factory as the ACM ones... I've used both and loved them, but I like Aimpoints for their ruggedness and battery life.

I must have gotten two lemons from evike then. I always heard G&P was top notch as well, but the first one I got (Comp M2 on low pro mount) had full AimPoint trades and all, but would not sight in, and had rust all over the inside. So I sent it back and got a new one, with no trades  . Now this one after just a couple times of turning it on and off, sighting, etc, the green no longer works. But other than that this thing is pure beauty, just if you get a lemon send it back ASAP before warranty expires! |

Dude, that sucks about those lemons, hopefully that won't happen to me! It's good to hear that there's nothing but good coming out from G&P.

Probably because you got crappy defective products from Evike... I've had multiple G&P AP's and never had a problem. I usually have just the red-dot (I don't find the green to ever be useful), but still I've never had an issue.

Yeah I no longer order from evike, crappy products, service and have been waiting two months for a shipping refund, ASGI is way better!
