EO Tech hands down over the Aimpoint. I've got one of each, the Aimpoint stays on the wife's carbine (she's less likely to use hers socially). Within 150m which is all I'm looking for with the carbines the EO Tech is superior. My only complaint is battery life, it's not as good as the new Aimpoints. I compensate by having the AA version and putting fresh batteries in whenever I'm playing. TR's comments on the ACOGs are spot on. I do a fair amount of longer distance shooting and as my eyes age I'm finding magnification is becoming more critical. He's convinced me of the advantages to the ACOG, I just can't afford one at the moment. I'm getting ready to get an SPR upper built by a friend and I may consider splurging (though I like TR's Leupold too). FWIW - Peregrino
