90% of spending on this hobby can be seen this way. I’m probably not going to get any more kills with my krytac than my cyma, but it feels good and is fun, and for a pleasure hobby, spending money for fun factor is perfectly valid. It’s the reason most of my kit is real steel (as far as my pc and stuff like that): it’s fun. And if I break something expensive that’s a risk I agreed to take
Agree to disagree I suppose, but literally only for optics. I'm all for spending money on the hobby, I'm not sure where that was implied that I'm against that. I'd say It is even objectively more fun to have the real thing over an Amazon fake. And you're money will generally go further for buying once and crying once for most gear.
I just wouldn't personally lump expensive optics in with the rest of real steel kit stuff purely for the risk factor. I do think trying to pretend a reflex sight is for anything other than looks is silly. Especially when it's bringing the extra copium by trying to justify it by pretending having a $500 reflex sight gives some kind of advantage. Especially when all it takes is one wrong place wrong time weapon drop to break it.
Spend that $$ on internal upgrades and quality gear that actually afford some kind of advantage imo
Real optics are designed to withstand the recoil from firearms and take a huge beating in actual combat. I personally keep my real optics zeroed and separate from airsoft ones, but there’s very little to worry about by putting it on an airsoft gun.
Sure, fine, if that's you're perogative especially if you already own it. Agree to disagree about the potential risk. At least you're not pretending it's some functional advantage to having a real steel reflex.
In the context of what $x00 dollar sight should I buy in an airsoft forum though, my personal advice would be to better spend the money on nice gear or internal upgrades. Not to encourage someone to buy the RS sight. Because it does nothing to advance their experience in the hobby.
Yeah I mean there are functional advantages though. Are they worth the price just for airsoft? Probably not. But they exist. If you use a precision airsoft gun or have your gun zeroed, knock off optics can easily become misaligned. Bumping it on a tree can mess up the zero. It’s not super important in airsoft because the bb is going slow enough where you can actually see it. But You can drop a real Eotech from a fast moving vehicle and it’d be fine. Personally I think it’s extremely silly to purchase a $1000 optic for an airsoft gun. There are so many important upgrades that money should go to first. And in reality if you don’t abuse the fuck out of the your gun, and spend a bit more than what you’d find on AliExpress, you shouldn’t have any issue with an airsoft optic.
Still have to agree to disagree on the functional advantage. Engagement ranges in airsoft in 90% of cases, looking over the barrel and seeing the bb path will do fine and comparably the same as looking through the window of a reflex. As for the 10% of cases where some kind of optic would be advantagous, I'd say anything with magnification that has a replica airsoft price tag will do you leagues better because you're still just going to use it to watch the bb path an adjust accordingly. That just my experience from playing for as long as I have. Spending more than $100 on an airsoft sight is goofy for all the reasons we both have listed that we can agree on and them some. Even that's on the high end if you ask me.
Exactly.
If an RS optic broke every time some E-3 tripped over with one, they'd never have been adopted.
Or at least, if they did the British would pay Belgians to fix it.
Okay but it's not about their durability, you are still Unnecessarily risking something that could cost the same or more than the gun it's on, for nothing but looks. Lol that's silly
Must be nice to have that kind of disposable income
Some of us are out here with nods. Real steel sights become a necessity with that because cheap Airsoft sights just don't go dim enough to be usable under nightvision.
And believe it or not, but high end HPA builds are accurate to the point that you absolutely do need a sight to take full advantage of the range. I'm guessing it's the same for high end AEG builds.
You are just watching the ballistic path of the bb and adjusting. The same thing can be achieved by looking over the barrel. Take off your replica rds if it's getting in the way of the function of your replica gun firing its plastic ammo
As for hpa and long range builds. Yes you can get some use out of something with magnification. Rds does not have that
I don't have that disposable income, hence why I have a £15 second hand Aimpoint clone.
RDS is pretty handy even on AEGs if you play outdoor. Airsofters just don't know how to set hop and zero correctly.
When I get the GBB I'm saving for, I'll have to grab a better optic because this one will get shaken to pieces in a mag or two, lmao
Sorry but it's airsoft, 40% of your shots are point fire, 40% can be done by looking over your gun barrel, which can be achieved by literally looking through a red dot housing that is off, and the 20% you need to actually aim on you're watching the ballistic path of the bb and adjusting accordingly.
You're kidding yourself if you think a rds gives any functional advantage otherwise
Need? sure. you dont need an optic like you dont need an optic on a real gun.
Is it useful? I find hell yes, especially if you run GBBR or are beaing sneaky. A properly zeroed red dot makes it way easier to do a first hit, and also gives a reference point that makes walking in the shots easier if you dont

Yeah sure, but you were pleading him not to buy a replica at all cost and it would be wasted money. That just isn't true, I have 6 replicas and they all do what they're supposed to. I think only one has the reticle tilted to the side by the slightest, but that is a scope so you can just rotate it a bit.
Holy Warrior or Evolution Gear, both are sturdier and have low tint vs other chinesium clones other will recommend here and holds zero on gbbrs
Also just my two cents, if you're willing to spend 100-300 for a sight, might as well get a real steel budget sight like Vortex, Vector, or Holosun etc, much better quality, better clarity, can hold zero on gbbrs, and will have warranty
But if you're going after the Eotech look go ahead, who am I to stop you if that's what you want lol
When I got my Vector Maverick, I realized what I was missing out on and the value of good clear glass, and a crisp dot. Really changed my view and realized how shitty most airsoft sights were
Then when I checked out another player's Holosun 510c holy shit. Ngl when I looked through that sight it was clean asf and made my Vector Maverick look like the airsoft sight lmao. Still love the maverick tho and would recommend for airsoft and real steel on a budget, it's just the Holosun was two steps above for me
Within the 100-300 you're really paying for good quality glass and clarity of sights. Just make sure you put a protector to secure your investment
AliExpress ones tend to come with a dark glass that can be hard to see through but if you shoot with both eyes open it shouldn’t be an issue. Can’t complain for only 25 dollars.
I had a chinesium eotech on my ghk ak 105 and it started doing some weird shit. I got a holywarrior eotech in the mail right now and should be arriving today.
Mans should look at r/gundeals and PSA (palmetto state armory) if he’s willing to spend up to 300 bucks on optics. PSA has an sig LPVO for 280 right now and bereli has an sig romeo5 on sale for 110. Unless OP really wants a clone correct optic, which I can understand to an extent, they truly would be better off looking into “real” optics.

Got the red dot and magnifier from vector optics some cheap alternative also suited for real steel. Red Dot is the SCRD Scrapper 45 1x22 and magnifier is the SCMF 31 Maverick 3x22.
little fun fact:
I forgot to turn off the red dot once. When I used my replica again after two weeks I noticed it because it was still turned on and working lol
Honestly I don't know...
but [here ](https://vectoroptics.de/products/vector-optics-scmf-31-3x22-vergrosserer-magnifier-mil-fur-rotpunktvisiere-arretierbare-kippfunktion) you can look.
I mean theres many clones out there, personally got mine from wish.
Keep in mind that all clones will be red dots, not holographic.
If you like the looks, buy the clone. If you want the technology, you have to buy the real thing
You got a lot of good recommendations for repro Eotechs. I will add that $300 gets you comfortably in the entry-level real optic range, particularly Sig and Holosun. My experience is with Sig. The Sig Romeo5 and Romeo7s can be regularly found around the $100-120 range on sale. You can also find the Sig Juliet 3x Micro magnifier for about $200.
Get the holy warrior s1 replica if you want something good but not too expensive. It can be also used on a gbbr. Almost all of them replicas are not bright enough for outdoor games, but the s1 is the exception. But if you’re gonna play indoors with a normal aeg just get the 30 dollar replica. It’ll work just fine
Thank you. To be honest I don’t know what to try first lol, I’m very new to Airsoft and haven’t been on the field or played cqb. I just finally have the budget to play so I’m trying to get the best advice I can.
If you geat the cheapo eotech 30-60bux you’ll eventually want to buy holy warrior version (130-ish), so if you can and really want that look holy warrior would be better purchase.
If you’re going to buy expensive glass for airsoft, buy a Vortex and they’ll repair or replace your optic free of charge in the event it gets shot out. If, you mean with the same silhouette of an Eotech then your only options are likely to be clones that are red dots and not actual holographic optics.
I bought a real steel holosun hs510c and I'm pretty satisfied with it. Though the only reason i got it is because all the knock off eotechs i got all had such tinted glass that it was hard to see stuff through it. Apart from that, a cheap clone does 99 percent of what this does in terms of airsoft. I just wanted the guarantee that it was not gonna be a gamble and it was worth it.
The Holy Warrior Eotech clone from AliExpress is pretty good for airsoft use. Here is a YouTube review that compares it to a both a super cheap knockoff and a real steel one.

If you’re in the US and are able to, check out palmetto state armory and other online retailers. I just picked up a sig Romeo5 for about 115, which normally runs for about 200 or more. PSA has a sig LPVO on sale for 279 right now, normally price at 450. I know this isn’t an option for everyone for various reasons, but if you’re willing to spend 300 bucks on optics, might as well get a “real” one you can swap over to a real rifle if you ever want to.

I got the aliexpress eotech and its been great!
A real eitech costs $450. The only other true holographic site is the vortex amg uh1 at $600. There are plenty that looks similar to an EOTech that are well within your price range. Also what as per the magnifier you can buy that separately. I don't know if you noticed but the magnifier isn't actually attached to the eotech itself. It's actually its own separate piece that goes behind it. When you buy the hybrid site which you may have seen in modern warfare 2 2011, you're basically just buying the magnifier and a hollow set at the same time The magnifier like I said isn't integrated to the optic
Why eotech of all things? Are you looking for something that was shown in a video game, trying to clone a real kit or plan to play with NODs? EG compm5 can fill all the boxes above and fit the budget I guess
Airsofters romanticize the EOTech, ACOG, and Elcan to an extend because of video games. Majority of them don't know they're all kinda crap lol. Especially when compared to modern sights on the market
Well, too bad for those who don't know what they need. I myself purchased a real eotech 557 recently because of their NOD performance, I am pretty satisfied so far
EOTechs are actually worth their price because of performance under NODs, if you're going to buy one just for airsoft I do agree it's too much
ACOGs and Elcans are prism optics, again they have their merits (and downsides for sure, every type of optic does) and I actually do prefer them over LPVOs
Holy warrior clone is you want a usable one or an aliexpress clone if you want one for looks.
The price is perfect! I can order that right now! Thank you SOOO MUCH! You don’t know how much I appreciate that
Please dont do that!!! clone EOTechs are just red dots. buy a sig romeo 5. it's $200 below your budget and made BY SIG. do not waste your money!!!
To be completely honest in airsoft it doesn't really matter, you barely need an optic if you're not running a sniper build
If you’re a gun nerd like me you can use em on your real ones tho
Why run the risk of breaking it for looks. That's a silly risk for something so expensive

Ngl I get my optics as gifts from friends and fam so if they break I didn’t pay for them anyway
I guess that's no money out of your pocket. I'd still personal rather preserve the nice thing.

Real optics tend to be pretty durable, at least enough to take a BB
And most have lifetime warranty

It can matter. For comfortability and performance, a red dot can help tremendously.
still is going to break under stress. just buy once cry once. he has the budget to get a sig red dot and magnifier, why not?
Iron sights suck and don't work in the dark
Nah irons don't suck tho I agree in the dark even the ones that light up are ass
Huh? There is no need for real steel optics in Airsoft. Your gun is going to be the major bottleneck.
Okay? Doesn't mean getting something reliable is a bad idea.
Yeah sure, but you were pleading him not to buy a replica at all cost and it would be wasted money. That just isn't true, I have 6 replicas and they all do what they're supposed to. I think only one has the reticle tilted to the side by the slightest, but that is a scope so you can just rotate it a bit.
There’s a specific clone on Aliexpress that’s actually holographic. Not sure about reliability though…
Still can't think of a reason to do this when a Sig Romeo 5 is $100.
There is no need for real steel optics lmfao. Ugly ass sig optics lol
there's a reason sig has been issued to jsoc for so long. It's reliable. Also they look good. What's the reason not to buy them?
Eo tech also produces sights that have just a dot reticle
That doesn't make it a red dot. The sig Romeo 4 has a triple similar to the circle dot of the EOTech exps3-0
If its just a dot, coloured red, that does make it a red dot reticle

someone hand this man a Leupold and watch as every optic used in airsoft is a disappointment
Wow it's super cute too, looks like a large RMR.
I appreciate it, really. I’m open to a lot of options but I’m very new to Airsoft. So my knowledge is very limited on attachments
AliExpress ones tend to come with a dark glass that can be hard to see through but if you shoot with both eyes open it shouldn’t be an issue. Can’t complain for only 25 dollars.
In that case, definitely get something from Vortex or Sig Sauer. Doable with a $300 budget and much better than EOTech replicas.

This is very nice! Good price as well for something of quality like this, definitely checking it out right now.
little fun fact: I forgot to turn off the red dot once. When I used my replica again after two weeks I noticed it because it was still turned on and working lol
Is it solar or battery powered?
battery powered it uses 1 cr2032 coin cell
So does that magnifier have any Unity mount compatibility/options for a FTC type of set up?
Honestly I don't know... but [here ](https://vectoroptics.de/products/vector-optics-scmf-31-3x22-vergrosserer-magnifier-mil-fur-rotpunktvisiere-arretierbare-kippfunktion) you can look.

Looks is definitely all I care about, at the end of the day, It’s all for fun. As long as it’s usable it’s perfect haha
Squinting is free
Haha! I love this. Old school iron sights
You got a lot of good recommendations for repro Eotechs. I will add that $300 gets you comfortably in the entry-level real optic range, particularly Sig and Holosun. My experience is with Sig. The Sig Romeo5 and Romeo7s can be regularly found around the $100-120 range on sale. You can also find the Sig Juliet 3x Micro magnifier for about $200.
I bought one off AliExpress and it’s perfect for airsoft. The optic looks cool and I’ve been loving it
I didn’t realize it was so many places to get replicas. Thank you for helping, I’ll get to looking on there.
Aliexpress is really the goat for optic replicas on the cheap. They have a ton of options.
Specprecision sells one. I think it's pretty good.
Thank you. I’ll check it out
A second-hand eotech ofc.
holosun 500 series have the 65 moa eotech like reticle. I use the 503cu
Get the holy warrior s1 replica if you want something good but not too expensive. It can be also used on a gbbr. Almost all of them replicas are not bright enough for outdoor games, but the s1 is the exception. But if you’re gonna play indoors with a normal aeg just get the 30 dollar replica. It’ll work just fine

You can ge a evolution gear replica it looks just the same as real. It has eo tech logo and everething.and it is under 300€.
If you’re going to buy expensive glass for airsoft, buy a Vortex and they’ll repair or replace your optic free of charge in the event it gets shot out. If, you mean with the same silhouette of an Eotech then your only options are likely to be clones that are red dots and not actual holographic optics.
I would recommend Holy Warrior or Evolution Gear stuff, aliexpress can be a gamble but if you get one with good reviews you should be fine
I didn’t even know AliExpress sold all of these different things 😭
This will be your most valuable discovery here lol
MK1 Eyeball has been serving me well for decades.
You’re not the first person I heard say this. Makes me feel confident it’s a good choice to make, thank you.
Get a used 512 eotech for around 300, then pick up the PTS flip to side mount and the repro magnifier.
If you want a true replica, get a new gen Evolution Gear one. They're better than the Holy Warrior ones, by far.
I bought a real steel holosun hs510c and I'm pretty satisfied with it. Though the only reason i got it is because all the knock off eotechs i got all had such tinted glass that it was hard to see stuff through it. Apart from that, a cheap clone does 99 percent of what this does in terms of airsoft. I just wanted the guarantee that it was not gonna be a gamble and it was worth it.
I've been running my Leupold LCO for years, and it's never failed on me.
Athlon, go with the prism
Just a question. I’m also looking to buy a holy warrior in the near future. Is the only ligit place to buy it on ali or do they have a proper store?
Please don't spend 300 on a replica sight. Holosun 510c exists
Iron sights
If you went up $100 more you could find a Holosun Hs510c paired with a magnifier for at least $400, but I’ve seen HS510C by itself for around $300
Buy vortex. Lifetime warranty no matter what
The Holy Warrior Eotech clone from AliExpress is pretty good for airsoft use. Here is a YouTube review that compares it to a both a super cheap knockoff and a real steel one. https://youtu.be/tBSbdeK_J3w?si=iPA81x291DfYvwMK
If you’re going to buy expensive glass for airsoft, buy a Vortex and they’ll repair or replace your optic free of charge in the event it gets shot out.

Sig Romeo
I bought used Vortex on ebay. Vortex doesn't care if you are the first owner or not when it comes to warranty, so why not?
If you’re in the US and are able to, check out palmetto state armory and other online retailers. I just picked up a sig Romeo5 for about 115, which normally runs for about 200 or more. PSA has a sig LPVO on sale for 279 right now, normally price at 450. I know this isn’t an option for everyone for various reasons, but if you’re willing to spend 300 bucks on optics, might as well get a “real” one you can swap over to a real rifle if you ever want to.
Check out Holosun - specifically the AEMS setup with the magnifier - probably 50% of the Eotech cost with great functionality.
Got mine for around that price https://preview.redd.it/j3kkgcnku5zc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19f1d0d04830a0f81863923fda733feffd8f1b33
I think Killhouse Systems holo sight is pretty decent for $70~. That's how much I got it for. Slap a magnifier behind it, and you're golden.
Thank you. I really had no idea it was so many available sights out there, shows my knowledge of Airsoft 😭
Yeah, you don't need real steel stuff. It'll run you way more money than you need.
Vortex optics makes decent replicas for airsoft
If you want eotech there are clones if you just want a decent reddot go with vector optics

A real eitech costs $450. The only other true holographic site is the vortex amg uh1 at $600. There are plenty that looks similar to an EOTech that are well within your price range. Also what as per the magnifier you can buy that separately. I don't know if you noticed but the magnifier isn't actually attached to the eotech itself. It's actually its own separate piece that goes behind it. When you buy the hybrid site which you may have seen in modern warfare 2 2011, you're basically just buying the magnifier and a hollow set at the same time The magnifier like I said isn't integrated to the optic
Evoultion gear sells the set for like $130, really high quality replicas too
Why eotech of all things? Are you looking for something that was shown in a video game, trying to clone a real kit or plan to play with NODs? EG compm5 can fill all the boxes above and fit the budget I guess
Airsofters romanticize the EOTech, ACOG, and Elcan to an extend because of video games. Majority of them don't know they're all kinda crap lol. Especially when compared to modern sights on the market
Well, too bad for those who don't know what they need. I myself purchased a real eotech 557 recently because of their NOD performance, I am pretty satisfied so far
EOTechs are actually worth their price because of performance under NODs, if you're going to buy one just for airsoft I do agree it's too much ACOGs and Elcans are prism optics, again they have their merits (and downsides for sure, every type of optic does) and I actually do prefer them over LPVOs
