    Are you saying you want a real Eotech?

    it'll cost you quite a bit and there are some legality issues there too.

    I am looking for one that is not a cheap clone.

    They are all clones, unless your looking for a real one? as in made by Eotech themselves for a RS rifle.

    I might have a 552 to get rid of but its not a "real" one so its a clone.

    FYI a real 552 will cost you (at a cursory glance on uktactical.co.uk) upwards of about €400, right up to something like €550 for a 553. Fecked if I know the cost of a 557 although think similar. And I ain't even gone near the fact that the authorities are a bit jumpy about real deal eotechs.

    Clones range in price from pennies to a couple of hundred depending.

    Even the high end Eotech brands are not all that great. I got a €200 Hurricane Eotech 551 a while back and the image ghosting is shocking. In a pitch black room on the lowest brightness setting, I can see 3-4 ghost images and on the highest brightness setting, you cannot see the image at all on a sunny day.

    If I was going to buy another Eotech, I'd take my chances with a mid priced china made clone (€50-€90) than blow a couple of hundred on a Hurricane or G&P high end, that you cannot be sure of the quality, sure you may get a good one but you can also get a bad one like I did.

    Ok then, Im looking for a good quality eotech scope with no ghost image! It will have to be a clone because there is no way I am paying more than EUR70 for one.
