I'm hoping I did right in making the decision to go thru with this...but, today in Corsicana I took my Walther P-22 to a gunshow with the intent of finding it a new owner.
I was hoping to sell it, and put the cash towards a new (to me) 9mm handgun, but absolutely no one had interest.
Stopping at one last table on the way out, I spied an EoTech 557.AR223 sitting there looking like a lost puppy.
After asking to check it out, and finding the asking price,($450) the dealer attempted to turn it on to show me the reticle, and explain how cool it was....but it wouldn't power up
He asked what I wanted for the Walther, saying how much he liked it, and I quoted $250 for the pistol only, or $275 with 350 rds of ammo... His next question, was "how would you trade me"?
After picking myself up off the floor, I told him the ball was in his court, and I didn't bring much cash.
He helped me up off the floor the second time after asking "could you give me $60 boot if I let you keep the ammo"??
During the negotiation period, I had switched the battery polarity, and was stealthily viewing the cool reticle he had described...
Long story short....I got the 557.AR223 in exchange for a pistol I bought at a show about 3yrs back for $200 and gave $60 to boot.... This does have N/V capability, and works great, but EoTech shows them discontinued.
Has anyone had any experience with this model, and should I be OK in expectation of putting it in action like right now?
I'm sure it will suffice for my needs, and the cost savings surely will help in my quest for a higher Gen Monocular.....Whatcha think....OK??
