[cundiff5535]

Hey guys, I am looking for a place that sells a good Eotech clone... would like the flip to side magnifier as well.... I would def want the Eotech markings on it (not tryin to fool anyone, I just think it looks better).

Its going on my 10 22 ACR project... anyone seen them around or know of a place I can pick this up at?

Let me know

having eotech markings would be a copyright violation and would subject the copycat manufacture to legal trouble.

If you want eotech BUY EOTECH!

If you're looking for clones, Ebay is probably the best bet. You can find dealers in the U.S. even and not Hong Kong or Taiwan. Agreed, that copyright restrictions are definitely in effect, so finding a clone stamped w/ Eotech, Aimpoint, Acog, Burris, etc, would almost always come from across the Pacific as that's where all of that happens. Most U.S. dealers, wouldn't mess w/ that.

I think the closest to clone, but not a knock off would be Mako products. But, don't hold me to that.

Really dude... I understand all the legal crap but... DONT CARE. These exist and are out there for purchase

I have REAL Trijicon Acogs or Eotechs on every Tactical rifle I own... I am NOT putting one on a 10 22.

I would second Ebay as your best bet.

I'd stay away from all clones, period. They are made to LOOK like the real thing, not function like it. Why spend $30 on junk, when you could spend a little more for something useful, and with resale value?

SightMark makes a cheapest budget scopes that are actually reported to function and hold zero. They have a Holographic scope that I'm sure is very solid, but they are not known for long battery life, or superior glass (what do you expect from a budget scope?). At least their products are original. They also offer magnifiers with FTS mounts--in fact I have a 3x w/FTS that I'll let go for $75 because it isn't enough magnification for my AR.

Thanks for the Sightmark lead. I've never heard of them. Their Eotech style seems to be pretty nice. And the price is really good.

Just decided to say "f" it and buy an actual XPS 2.0 after reading how crappy most of the chinese made replicas were...

As a side note, there is a nice way to say buy a real one instead of acting like a jerk and crapping on someone's thread. To add to that, if someone realistically asks about a fake or replica... just answer the question... I know its not close to the same thing.

Anyway, this is now a non issue since like I said, I am just getting the XPS 2

In the US it is illegal to own counterfeit items. An EoTech clone with EoTech markings is a counterfeit, so therefor is illegal.

Check out the ADCO HOSS.
