Vortex AMG UH-1 Gen II holographic sight has clear glass and a sharp reticle. Tracks true through magnifier swap. Battery life is good. Picatinny mount is integrated. Closest competitor to EOTech Ive used.
Vortex AMG UH-1 Gen II holographic sight works correctly but zero shifted a touch after the first range session. Re-zeroed and its held since. Tracks true through magnifier swap. Glass is clear edge to edge. Solid budget EOTech alternative.
