In good shape, cosmetic scratches on the hood but it is in good working order and never registered. Glass is clean. Holographic sight never worked well with my corrected astigmatism.

Asking $300 shipped.

Disclosure: I'm on the road quite a bit for work. It may be a week or two before I can actually ship the item. If I know I'll be unable to send it before a certain date I'll let you know so I don't have your money sitting in my PO box with no item shipped.

Thanks for looking. :txflag:

Just a quick note that it may not be your astigmatism correction that causes you problems using the EOTech. My bet is that your glasses lenses are polarized, and that's what's causing issues.

In order for the EOTech holographic display to work, the back lens on the optic is plane-polarized. The reticle display is actually projected out to what appears to be the target plane, like a plane's cockpit Heads-Up Display (HUD).

Generally speaking, if your glasses or sunglasses are polarized, you should be able to see the holographic reticle normally...so long as you are looking dead-on into it, with your glasses and the EOTech lens nicely parallel. If the angle of your glasses lens start to tilt away from parallel to the EOTech, you can lose the reticle display entirely. 'Course, that's one of the advantages of the holographic display: not matter what crazy angle you might need to take to shoot around a barrier, so long as you can see the reticle and put it on top of the target, you're lined up. But if your glasses are polarized, they can conflict with the EOTech's plane-polarized rear lens.

I have three EOTechs, and they remain my favorite CQB optic.

Interesting, but mine have given me some trouble even with standard glasses. Since the hologram is actually 50 yards out, my eyes (old prescriptions) make it out a little blurry. Scopes work much better for me I have found.

Price lowered as well.

Staring into a laser has always bothered me. I wonder if eotech will switch to a high efficiency led

Actually LED would defeat one of the best features of the EOTech—that it is still usable when a bullet or other flying object has passed through the display lens. LED would be incapacitated by that.

Yall heard the man! Unaffected by small arms fire. :biggrinjester:

I'll lower it to 275 for Houston members( Make an offer ). I'm tired of getting the runaround on TGT and I don't think many people want to purchase a used optic sight-unseen (I wouldn't).

It will likely stay there until it is read.
