Trying to decide between Aimpoint and Eotech

That's not a very good fake. I wouldn't wear that one if I were you. The movement might pass muster, though.

You know its legit cause of the diamonds. It's the kind of watch worn by the likes of 50 cent, Jay Z, and Dirt McGirt

Mad props and street cred to all that wear it....

You'd be amazed at the number of people who own a real Rolex but buy and wear a fake Rolex instead because they don't want to damage the real one and the fake is quite acceptable in terms of performance. Owning a real one gives them comfort that they are not a fraud, even if they don't use it.. Same thing here...

Clearly people such as yourself and those who subscribe to such behavior are in need of help. The pathetic attempt at impressing others serves no purpose othwer than to boost your own low self esteem. Seek counselling and save your money.

Here here...
 
I am not interested in impressing anyone. The typical Aimpoint owner has it placed on a restricted AR15 clone that they use at a range lilimited to 200m. They probably shoot at paper targets within 50m and put no more than 200 rounds down range a year.

Some people take themselves far too seriously..

Who might I impress???

I am pretty sure TDC means you're attempting to impress....using a fake Aimpoint wanting others to take it for real.

You may impress some people if you ran an authentic Aimpoint.

If you're not trying to impress anyone then why buy a real aimpoint? Why run a look alike for that matter? Run the fake and save the money. Your thought process is flawed.

I own a real Aimpoint because if the SHTF or if we ever have TEOTWAWKI, I'll be ready with some serious kit... Doesn't everyone?????

Other than that I like to own the best and know I can sell it down the road for as much as I paid for it.

I run top end gear because it works and yes, should I need it for more serious work it won't let me down. So why not just run the real one and forget the fake? as for resale you're dreaming if you think you'll recover your costs, the optic is still used and ita history unknown. By your logic you shouldn't sell it anyway so your theory on resale is also flawed.

I have written a few serious optics reviews here but now and purely for fun, I have bought - off our Chinese pals via Ebay - a 100% fake EoTech and equally fake Aimpoint. I am going to use them on my DDM4V7 and see which holds up better. I will review these in due course to let CGN know how they perform in the 'battle of the fakes'. BTW I have used both a real Eotech and Aimpoint and my preference is for the latter.

His math is broken. His authentic, high quality optic would only depreciate by the value of the fake if he used it. The net difference is zero if he treats himself to shooting with the real deal that he claims to keep in the box for future resale.
 
Run the fake because it functions just as well under normal circumstances (where Most people will use it) without risk of damage to the real one.

As for resell, I've bought and sold plenty of guns and related accessories over the years and have ended up well ahead. Otherwise, I'd never buy any of this stuff. If you buy a lot of stuff for use at a gun range and can only sell at a loss, don't bother...

Honest question, have you shot your real aimpoint at all? And it looks like you're out to make money and nothing else, which is hard to do if you're paying retail. I don't believe that you're commanding above retail for used products. If you are then the buyer is the fool.

Take your fakes, mount them then invert the rifle and drop. If they're still functioning I will be surprised. Then leave them in a bucket of water for a day. If its good and cold outside try leaving them there for a day or two. Running them for 50 rounds slow fire from the bench is only a test of ones patience and willingness to waste their free time.
