I purchased the EOTech 553.A65 for my AR-15. I ordered the standard shipping and it arrived very quickly. The sight itself had every feature I was looking for: night-vision compatible, submersible to 66 ft, quick-release levers, built in risers, and great field-of-view (not to mention it is by far the best looking sight EOTech offers). I was surprised to find that it came with its own case, which is very similar to the heavy duty Pelican cases - if it isn't already made by Pelican. Overall, this sight is flawless and works like a champ. I would highly recommend this product.

This is my first EOTech and I'm very happy with it. I've always been an iron sights shooter, but this optic made me a devout believer in the advantages of red-dot/holographic scopes. I'm getting 1-inch groups at 50 meters and 2-inch at 100 m shooting 5.56 from rest. The scope seems to loose most of its effectiveness past 100 yds. The nice wide target window is crystal clear with zero distortion. The reticle makes target acquisition extremely easy, however, it looks slightly pixelated so I like the lower settings. The quick release mounts are bulky, but very solid, very durable, and very easy to mount/unmount. I bought this model because of the quick release mounts. The scope is night vision compatible, which, doesn't benefit me at all and I cannot review that aspect of it. Unless quick release mounts are important to you, you should probably go with a less expensive, non-NV EOTech scope.

This isn't the exact model used by SOCOM for no reason. There are no negatives I can say about this product.
