Re: EoTech? 557 with 3x mag or 512
The 557? I do, it's a decent sight. I have it by itself, rather than with the 3X magnifier included. The ones that are sold together as a unit have a little rubber dust gizmo that sits in between the sight and the magnifier. The 557 is set up so that it gives you BDC for 62 grain SS-109 out to 600 yards. I use a Matech 600 yard BUIS behind it and it gives a comfortable lower-third co-witness.
One thing that I like about the 557 is that it takes AAs, even if it doesn't have a ten year battery life going like Aimpoint does, with other batteries. You can find AAs just about anywhere, especially half-sucked ones in an emergency, like out of someone's Discman, etc.
