Although this is true, I have had a few of these G&P re-branded eotechs over the last few years. They are useless on a sunny day. The OP is totally correct in wanting to increase the brightness.

Second : for snow use Iron Sight, it's perfectly normal that you don't see reticle in the snow.
Based on the OPs description, I would say hes rifle didn't have any kind of BUIS system.



@OP - Thanks for the info. Just a heads up, most clone EOtechs are really not that great. I got so fed up with various G&P re-brands that I just ended up buying a real steel EOtech.

If you want to stick with cone optics, I don't blame you. The price difference is huge! I would try and find a HurricanE Eotech clone (Generally ~$150)

Or, if you like the look of a Aimpoint, apparently the G&P Comp M2 clone is really nice.

Best of luck,
Ben
