Because of your original post I was influenced in a recent purchase. Having just completed a light barrel 16" middy upper I was looking for a red dot and popped for the Aimpoint PRO yesterday. Prior to this I've been an Eotech owner, I have two 512 models. The reasons I went Aimpoint PRO were; cost, Night Vision capability, battery life and at the same price as the entry level 512 Eotech. 512's are not NV capable. The PRO's mount system is the last reason, you have to love that thumb screw mount with over tighten protection. Unfortunately it will be at least 2 weeks before I can get out and sight it in. So it seemed a no-brainer, Eotech 512 for $400 or an Aimpoint PRO for $400 with NV capability for the same price as the 512.
BTW, did you get to shoot your rifle over the Holiday weekend?
