Looking around at Optics Planet, *dang* there are a lot of variations of this sight. I assume you likely had a 4x32 with the above reticle. Something like this.
What about the little red button on the bottom of the gun?
I have a Zeiss Z-point on my M4gery. It’s small and light and has near-perfect co-witness with the iron sights on my raised-rib upper. My only beef is with the adjustments. It’s a little like adjusting a Volkswagen carburetor; there are no clicks. You have to use a hex key to adjust windage and elevation, and it’s not an easy process. But once you get it dialed in, it stays there. The Z-point automatically adjusts its dot brightness to the available light and it runs off sunlight when it’s available. After reading your review, I’d rather have a Trijicon. But money (is) a thang.
Well it has been thoroughly humiliating reading about everyone’s toys when I can’t even afford to buy some non-corrosive ammo for my 98 Mauser.

I pointed out this thread to my son, and he made the very good point that a more fair comparison might be a 4X ACOG vs. an EOTech with the Aimpoint 3X magnifier add on optics that are widely available now. If nothing else, it’s a great idea for a future comparison. Plus, if you already have an EOTech, it might be a way to get to 90+% of the functionality of the ACOG with a fraction of the expenditure.
Here’s a thread with this sort of setup.
