Is the EoTech 552 replica even close to the real deal?

  You get what you pay for, sometimes less.

  Most of these are pure crap.

  I got one, looks just like the real deal. the lense cracked after getting bumped when my son accidently dropped it on the tailgate of my truck. Still works, but, I don't think it has near the durability as an eotech. As stated " you get what you pay for!"

  The main difference between the Eotech and the Aimpoint clones and the real thing is the way the light emitting unit is attached to the body of the optic. The clones have a dab of glue or a piece of tape holding the unit and the real Eotech and Aimpoint's have the unit attached with tiny hard fasteners, therfore way less of a chance that the unit will detach from the body of the optic during use(not to mention a real warranty).

  As said, durability is one of the EoTech's most desirable features and that's something all these fakes lack. Besides very poor impact resistance their water/moisture resistance blows.
  
  Another point you might want to consider. 552's are built to be night vision compatible, meaning that in this mode the dot emits a miniscule amount of light. When you hit the NV mode button on one of these knock-offs it just changes the dot's color.
  
  IMHO, these things are meant for my kid's air soft gun.
