Next up is an EOTECH XPS3-2. Really like the 2 MOA dot solution. I used one at the range this past weekend and like it a lot. Great small package with a wide field of view (relatively) too.
Range report: Fired about 1000 rounds through it so far. Accuracy went up markedly at about the 400 round mark. Guess these things need to be broken in... This past weekend, iron sights only, accuracy was phenomenal... The old man still has it in him! LOL Put 30 rounds through the center of the head of a silhouette (well, just off-center actually) at 200 yards. Grouping was 1.58 inches across. Just made a big damn hole in the head. Not a single jam or misfire yet. Using only Lake City 62-grain M855.
Cleaning is also a snap. The grit just seems to not stick to this weapon. A little cleaning solution sprayed in, scrub down lightly with a brush, spray more cleaning solution, wipe down, lubricate with a few drops of oil, run a snake and brush through the barrel, and done.

Excellent accuracy with irons!  Tell me, have you ever considered competing in CMP matches?

Thanks Beach/Shan... No never thought about it before... Might have to look into it, but I would probably get hassled in NY trying to take my guns across state lines. They are such retards up here.
The MBUIS are excellent and cheap too... I think like $40 or so. Check out eBay. Lots of good Magpul stuff on there.

I just purchased this sight for the M4... XPS-2-2 OPMOD with QD lever. Can't wait to range test it.  -Skater

Good choice. I have the 516 and the quick release lever on the battery compartment opens under recoil. Not the best feature.

I usually go to the ranges in Calverton or Central Islip. The Calverton Range is an old rock quarry... With, shall we say, lax rules. -Skater

Good choice. I have the 516 and the quick release lever on the battery compartment opens under recoil. Not the best feature. Yeah, that problem was corrected on the 553. This one is really small in comparison, with a raised battery compartment so you can mount it close to the end of the forward end of the top rail on an M4 and still clear the delta ring. I don't have a delta ring on my M4, so I am good, but I like the fact that it only takes up about 2.5" to 3" of rail space. -Skater
