I looked at those for a while shopping around different websites. When it comes to ghosting of all the reviews I read you have about a 50-50 chance of it having a ghost site when you get it. Other than that the reviews I read were great.

Shouldn't you do your research before you buy something?

I have a Fake eotech 551 (short one), and the build quality and looks are good, some ghosting but only indoors. However, I'm going to assume that it will be like my last one, and does have a strange reflective coating on both the back and front lenses, which can make for indoor useage hard. There is also a issue (atleast with mine) is that it eats batteries like no tomorrow. While the 552 I would assume runs either on CR123s or AAs, the one I have needs four button 357 type batteries, and I can only get (I would assume a hour at most of game time with them on. Also it uses battery power even when "off", so for me, I would literally need to put in batteries right before the game starts, and immediatly remove them after the game if I wish to have some power left. Right now, I've had mine be non-functional twice at the beganing of two games.

the real question is are you going to use it when its on your rifle....many people have a site of some sort on their weapon system, but dont take full advantage of it, IE - incorrect zeroing, just using it for show.
