Thought this might be a better area to discuss pros/cons availability of some of these knock offs, or copies sold under their own name.
A friend approached me and said he could get brand new in box Eotech style optics. I said pick me one up and he dropped it off last week. Turns out to be an Ijk optic and is marked as such both on the box and site itself but if it said Eotech on it it would be a dead ringer for the XPS far as I can tell. I'd love to take a look at one of these knock offs and compare it to mine, I'd bet they're made in the same factory, just boxed and shipped differently.
FTR, this is NOT a quality piece. Probably fine for Airsoft but this one at least was having problems deciding whether to keep the reticle in red or green mode and that was on a 9mm carbine. I'm not sure I want to know what a 5.56 would do to it. Elevation adjustment was being pissy also.
