Eotech problem

[wang949]

Try it on another weapon. If it's still canted, get it replaced.

That's a good idea. Too bad I only have one AR. Maybe Rifle Gear will let me throw it on one of their rifles. They're just down the street from me.

I'm sure they will, if not, I'm sure there's a Calgunner down in OC that will help you out. Just ask.

Well, that's your REAL problem!

If you happen to be passing by the Brea are for whatever reason, I'd be more than happy to let you to test on one of my rifles. Just send me a PM.

Just got back from Rifle Gear. Three employees looked at it and said it was fine. I also mounted it on one of their DD ARs and it looked the same as the pictures above... canted. They told me when I zero the rifle, it will look better and that the Eotech is slightly offset (larger on the left side) so this is normal. I'm going to wait to zero everything before sending it back to Eotech for repair.

Thanks for your offer!

Is this your first fire arm?

One time I had a similar issue with my EOTech.

Originally, it was fine, then when reattached, I got it canted. I think I wasn't getting it properly attached to the rail as I was able to take it off and get it level. Make sure it's sitting flush (wiggle it some) before locking it in place.

Try again.

No. I dabble in everything from rifled muskets to quail hunting to 1911s.
Is this some sort of snide comment?

[Droppin Deuces]

Have you even zeroed it yet? If you can't shoot straight with it then there is a problem. Otherwise...DMS.

[starsnuffer]

$500 should get you an optic that is straight. The EOtech I have sits flat on my rifles. I'd send it back on GP.

So I just bought a brand new Eotech EXPS2-0 (Sep '12 production) and mounted it on my AR.

EXPS is the QD model and lower 1/3 co-witness. The XPS is the standard mount and absolute co-witness.

edit: looks like your FSB might be canted. Give it a whack with a rubber mallet and see it it goes over any. Will not take much. And be sure no burrs/junk under the mount. Also, is it sighted in yet? That will move the crosshairs around also.

if you spend that much money, the product needs to satisfy you. if you aint happy, i'd exchange it.

however, looking at the pictures you posted, would you truly notice the slight canting if you were to use the eotech? when i use my aimpoint micros, i dont see anything but the red dot on the target...

[Dinosaur Jr]

I'm in Diamond Bar, you're welcome to bring your EOTech by and try it here as well.

[negolien]

Ya how bout a zero first.

[chead]

The rail could just be slightly out of spec. Even one small surface could do that. It's okay, it won't hurt anything.

[patriot_man]

Did you push the Eotech forward while you torqued it down? It'll ensure that it is lined up properly by having the cross-bolt contact the rail.
