Found this fake EOTech on eBay for only $35, I knew we had to review it and compare it to a real $400 EOTech.
Surprisingly, they are actually pretty similar.

  • I like the green! I find my eye gets pulled to green better - green reticles, green lasers, etc. The only problem is the green is usually very expensive with 'mil-spec' optics. I had to settle for the $400 red-reticle EOTech because the same model with green was an extra $170 bucks! Could have bought five green ChinaTech optics for the price difference between red and green.

    • The difference between the fake and real ones has more to do with just the color. The real ones shine a laser through a special holographic grate which projects a holographic reticle which is made up of hundreds if not thousands of individual dots. The fake uses an LED to project the reticle onto a mirror, so it's a red dot but with the eotech style reticle. As the dot needs to be projected onto a mirror the fake ones basically look like you're looking through tinted glass. Much more heavily tinted compared to a cheap ($5) open red dot sight. I've also noticed severe reflection if I'm back-lit (ie back towards the sun) so instead of seeing through the sight I'll see the reticle and my forehead. As for a green eotech, that requires a green laser which is much more complex to make than a red laser. A green laser is started by an infrared laser and can't be dimmed as easily (for the NV function on the eotech) so the laser in the green eotech will either need two lasers for the NV mode or a way to power the IR laser and run it through the green laser part of the diode with no distortion. I got the fake for my crossbow as I'm not about to spend hundreds on a sight that I can't even legally use for bowhunting here. If bowhunting was legal I'd pay the extra money for the real eotech if I wanted to hunt at super short ranges. Though I'd probably get a prismatic sight as I've got astigmatism and would want something with magnification for ethical kills.

I can deal with the lack of clarity and distortion, I'm more concerned about it holding zero after a lot of firing, sounds like this would be an issue of bonding / epoxy.

    • It would be the best 400 you have ever spent. I would suggest checking out the holosun 507c tho. About half the price. The circle hashes and dot gets me personally on target way faster than just a dot. Plus with the eotech there is virtually no parallax shift at point of impact when compared to other optics. At 100 yards the eotech has a 1.5moa shift while the the best aimpoint has a 10.5moa shift. The eotech is the best sight on the market and I've ran them all. If I had to choose another one ot would be the holosun 507c

  • Buddy of mine had the chineseium version on his 22LR AR and it worked fine for range plinking. We put it on a 556 and the recoil turned it off every shot. We finally figured out that the batteries would "bounce" and break the circuit every time forcing you to have to turn it back on for every second shot. But in it's defense it was $30 and was functional on a 22LR with no recoil. And it did look cool:)

I do have a knock off eotech and the issue with it is really is outside light. If it's dark, then the fake eotech works fine, though if it's a sunny day, the fake eotech vs the real one is miles difference in visibility and useability. Edit: also if I could find a eotech clone that worked well outdoors in the sunlight, I would definitely switch to it for my main airsoft sight to keep fermilibility with my real rifle.

  • Even were I to buy and use the $400 scope as primary, for $35 I'd buy and keep the alternate as a backup. Not going to screw-up a hunt or waste a trip to the range and any travel time/costs because I don't have a familiar model of scope handy. I've done this in a number of disciplines where the cost of spending a tiny bit extra to have a critical part on hand can make a huge difference. *Example* I keep an emergency prop on my boat. It's only a cheap $45 aluminum prop but the time it has saved me and friends has been considerable...and the rescued vacations and relationships, too.

  • You forgot to mention the knockoff has a mirrored rear glass which makes it garbage to see through in bright conditions, you wind up just seeing your own face reflecting back at you, and in low light the tint makes it hard to see through. I say this as I own one myself and its sitting collecting dust. If I could remove the mirror coating.on the rear lense it'd be a much better sight.

    • That may just be possible to remove the mirror finish. If the lens is plastic(polycarbonate lens) you can get glass etching liquid at just about any craft store. I have used it to remove the anti-glare coating on glasses a few times after it became too scratched up. However, if it is not a coating on a PC lens and it is just glare on glass the process will render the lens to milk glass. But you're not using it anyway, right? If you can't use it the way it is, what's the harm in wrecking it so it is more unusable? If you try it and it works, let us know. I have a .22 cal pellet rifle and this sounds like a good option for use on that.

I think they're fine for range time or civilian use but would never depend on it to protect my life. I've never dropped it to see what would happen mainly because it probably would break. Also, moisture and extreme temperature long term probably would destroy it too. I'd say its fine for range use even on 30 cal. I tested mine on 300blk and it still works after 500+ rounds. I paid $65 for the one I have but still chinesium! Lol

  • One thing to note is that the Eotech sight is a real holographic sight in that it uses holography to project the reticle onto the target plane using lasers and a holographic grating. The replica sights are just red dot sights in an eotech style housing. You can even see this on the video, the eotech sight appears to have the reticle painted onto the target whereas you can see that the reticle on the replica is still inside the sight. Whether or not that difference is worth 400 bucks is up to you. Holo sights tend to work better with people who suffer from astigmatism, however the best sights for astigmatism are prismatic sights. You can get magnification on prismatic sights too.

  • Actually, its not known as a red dot sight, as that usually refers to the reticle. Most people prefer holo-sights over red dot sights, because red dot sights require your eye to move back and forth between the optical plane and the target plane, but holo-sights allow you to focus on both the target AND reticle at the same time.

  • As far as Aimpoints go, you can get their PRO model for just over $400. It's the most affordable red-dot Aimpoint makes. But, you're not getting a dumbed-down, cheap, crap quality materials optic that has the "Aimpoint" name slapped on it. At that price, you even get a good mount included. No need to buy a quality mount separately. The PRO is also one of those optics that is literally battle-proven. Plenty of American soldiers have used the PRO. It's also a favorite of quite a few U.S. police departments.

The optic wont randomly fly off your gun or male you shoot babies instead.
