Gunsmith, owner of 15 eotechs, 5 vortex RAZORs ,several P.R.O. Aimpoints etc etc.

Vortex just came out with the DEFENDER,  it comes standard with a PIC RAIL MOUNT, but also 10 extra (yes literally) baggies with diff screws for pistol mounts blah blah ..

its $250 !!!  Quality is EPIC, even better than the VORTEX RAZORs i have mounted on my M4's ...

 

Looooooooooove it, its the cats azz!  I mounted this one on my new Beretta 1301 tactical, but be just as great on my M4's

did i mention its $250 and its quality?????????

A Kia is half the price of a Cadillac, does that make it better? 
 

What are the facts on the better? Solid data or “your opinion”?

 

Im a gunsmith, and own more optics and red-dots than almost everyone on this board combined (not literally but close to be sure).

Opinions? I dont care about anyone's opinions, only facts and logic (and wisdom).

 

Comparing a Kia and a Caddy? well BOTH ARE JUNK,  .....however a Kia is statistically more reliable than a junk american made Caddy.

bad analogy there honey.

 

In your poor analogy however a cheapo KIA IS 100000% better than a junk made unreliable Caddy.

wrong, based on facts honey.   I dont confuse doxa (opinions) with episteme (facts).

Hi, so I asked you this question on another post. But just curious as to why is the Vortex Defender better than say the EO Tech other than price? Is the glass cleaner? Is the dot clearer or brighter? Better controls? Longer battery life? How has the Vortex worked for you so far? I love Vortex and own a bunch of Vortex glass from scopes to red dots, range finders, and binos, so it would be nice to stay with them, but not all their glass is the best. What say you sir?

I own 15 Eotechs (on ARs and HK762, and SCAR17)..., ....but id have to go FULL BLOWN FOOL to think of putting one on any shotgun!!!!

I see peeps putting one on a benelli etc, and my sphincter puckers, ........ why not put an elephant in the back seat of a VW bug,.

Umm, ok. So, I guess I will ask again as to why you think that way about EO Techs. Is it because of the size? The EXPS3's are not that terribly big in my opinion, but I would still like to know as to what other reason one would have to not put one on an M4.

So you have no facts or basis so you resort to insults? How many times do I have to ask? What is your basis behind your statement? So you’re a gunsmith big friggin deal. I’ve worked airplanes for nearly 40 years.

Thus far, your claims carry no weight. You’ve produced no factual basis for your opinion.

If you dont know why putting an EOTECH on the top of any shotgun is a HORRIFIC idea, ....then you have issues nobody can fix.

1. equal build quality (better in fact since i own an RMR)

2. comes with pic rail already on red-dot

3. i dont have to remove the existing pic rail

4. i dont need to lower my eyes closer to bore axis to view

5. far far far far less $$$$$$

 

Since youve never had HANDS ON with  one, nothing you say has ANY WEIGHT,  .......NONE.  

 

You, like most "tacti-cool" entities always think "more $$$$ = more better"  , but such is the case of superficial minds.

So, instead of answering a question to somebody who is new to shotguns, you revert to insulting me. Wow. You are a real stand-up guy huh?

Yep, the guy is full of shit. Has no basis for his answers. Can’t explain any factual specifications that quantify his beliefs.

On a lighter note, I wonder how the ignore feature works?

1000000000% theyre doing it WRONG,  PERIOD.   the SAME Brits that use that laughable abortion BULLPUP!!!????

Anyone so brainless as to NOT SEE how INSANE it is to stick a HUGE eotech on any shotgun needs their head examined. 😅

 

Ive seen 2 benelli m4 have their RAILS SHEERED OFF DUE TO RECOIL STRESS OF HAVING AN ELEPHANT (EOTECH) on them.

 

im going to assume you didnt think before posting that absurd picture of a fool with an eotech on his benelli.
