Found an EOTech 552 with laser battery cover for $600 new. Worth it?
So, I was in a LGS in Reno and found an EOTech 552 with Infrared and red Laser on the battery cap. I understand this 552.LBC2 model has been discontinued and that why their dealers are dropping the prices. This one would cost about $600, but it is brand new with full warranty.
Is this one worth getting? Never had a laser other than on a handgun I don't use much. Is the parallax on the 552 bad? This is the model I'm referring to

I have an OLD eotech, the model with the crappy z or whatever batteries.
Other than learning the hard wwy to pull the batteries before i put it away, its a great sight. I cant induce any parallax in mine. Laser might be cool.

Lasers on guns have pretty niche uses and if you arent using night vision or gas masks id pass on a laser on a rifle. Furthermore, its dumb to have a laser on a rifle rearward of your hand. IMO if you need a laser on a rifle, get a dedicated unit such as an atpial-c, a3, d2, a4 v2, and (groans) mawl-c1+. Those will also have the very important IR illiminator and pointer combo all in one unit activated with one button. If you need an IR pointer and illuminator and you only have around $700, give the dbal i2 and cqbl a hard pass and buy an X400V-IRC. Fantastic little unit.

Question: how would you go about setting up set laser? I'm assuming that even if it's on the battery cap, the laser is not perfectly aligned with the sight itself -- right?
Would you try to place the laser right at the center of the existing EOTech reticle? Or would you slightly offset it to give you a second point of aim within the reticle?
