Holosight Help
« on: February 01, 2011, 04:58:46 PM »
Has anybody tried this "holosight" from Airsoft GI? If so, is it good overall, or is it just a cheap rip off? Thanks

I haven't used that one specifically, but I have a GG&G one that has the standard reticule (circle with a dot in center) and was a little cheaper ($70). It works pretty well, the only problem with mine is that the reticule is ghosting. (there are 2 reticule images in the sight just barely not lined up with each other) But its not bad enough to keep me from using it effectively.

Obviously it's not going to be as good or clear or accurate as the $400+ real ones, but it will probably work just fine.

I got my holo for $50 from some store in china, it's a 552 (brand not specified) and it has a circle reticle with three dots inside. Great sight but the main thing is unless your spending $350 to $500 for a holo your only getting a cheap eotech nockoff and it's not going to work exactly like a real one. Also downside to buying from the store I bought it from is the shipping was $90.

How would I install an echo 1 holographic sight cover onto a bravo 552? I just can't figure out how to put it on and I don't want to break anything on it either. Thanks
