That is what I have on my primary and it works like a champ. I may go with the 552 on my back-up, I haven't really decided yet.

Dave,
I'm not completely familiar with their product line but if it isn't a "Revision F", don't buy it under any circumstances.
If you prefer this type of reflex sight, get their latest and greatest version which IIRC is the 552 series but again, make sure it's a Rev F.

Thanks.
What was the issue before Revision F?
From what I can tell the 552 is only different in that allows for use with night vision.

Re: EOTech 512.A65/1
Up until the Rev F, they had issues with W&E adjustment and tracking, battery life (not run time, but battey power drain), the base / mount loosening, not holding zero (both from the base / mount and electronically) and electronic circuitry failures to name a few.
These have been addressed to a great extent in the Revision F but I still occasionally hear / read AAR's of carbine classes where there have been failures with Rev F's though not nearly as many as previous models. In fact, the failure rate of the Rev F may now simply be isolated examples that is typical of any make / model of optic.
However, it is still strongly advisable to replace the OEM base / mount with something superior (LaRue).
