I can't recommend people to buy replica EOTECHs, because as stated above, the Hurricane is the best: and it's crap compared to a real one you can get used for nearly the same price.

At ~$200US before shipping and tax for the Hurricane LED RDS, you could pay maybe $50 more and buy a used EOTECH 552 HWS.

The reasons I recommend the real over the repro, from a serious player's point of view (and ignoring the fact that the repro's don't replicate the holography at all), is that in lowlight the RDS sights destroy your natural night vision with over powered LEDs on the dimmest... While the EOTECH's laser can be turned right down to a very low light and be very usable in pitch black without ruining your eye's nightvision. Inversely, the EOTECH will never be washed out by background light in daytime, as it can be made to be super bright.

Also, real EOTECHs cannot be seen from the muzzle end, and use standardized batteries.

Also, real EOTECH reticles never change in size when viewed from further away from the observer. So placing it at the front of the gun will mean that the reticle is the same size if it were placed closer to the eye.
