EOTech Recall

[Flux Capacitor]

Last I checked all of California generally sits in between the temps of -40F and 122F. Maybe I am reading this wrong but I don't think so.

Some of us actually use our stuff outside of the range. Deer hunting in northern Minnesota can definitely reach in the teens and below. If you just bought yours to play mall ninja, then I'd keep it.

Well Im on the fence, only because I dont have the receipts anymore so I dont remember exactly where I got them from. What price do I put down on the form?

Mine was 456.60 after tax in 2009, I rounded up to $457.00. USPS picked it up this AM.

MSRP.

It'll run for 8 years at half brightness on a single AA battery.

Over 2 years on my M4s and still going.

My wife's Eotech 512 has died twice already in the same amount of time. I'm sending it back and either getting the MRO or the new H2 for her. I just got a new T2 for a new build and I'm leaving it on to see how long it will go.

Try reading that again and have another go at your comment. The teens are between -40 and 122F.

I'm keeping mine It has worked well for years in every temperature range I've been in. If I move out of CA I may change it but here in the PRK its GTG.

Their sight states there can be a minor shift if the sight was zero' day 70 then shot at 50. So basically if you sighted your sight in the summer you will miss your target in the winter. It's only a $500 sight who cares about accuracy I'm no operator.

Mine all had reticle fading around the edges of the glass, and one had fading bands IN the glass.

All 4 went back yesterday. My 512 already went in once for service- I'm guessing all of them have issues with a coating or lamination within the glass failing from the outside in.

Two of mine had production dates of 07/08- accepted with no issues.

I have an ancient Aimpoint M2 which works 100% still. No excuse for failing optics.

I submitted my request on the 22nd. No reply yet. Anybody else?

?? We could be on the same side, but your msgs aren't clear. I'm returning mine

[zerodameaon]

I am all for returning it as well, it does not do what is advertised and a 80% drift is nuts even for those not getting shot at. Anyways my thing was to tell this guy:

Is this something guys who aren't getting shot at need to worry about, I'm not sure what part of California gets into the temps that cause the issues?

that California temps most definitely fall between -40F and 122F, the area where the sights have issues. I don't know if it has issues outside that range as well but those were what L3 was talking about in the recall.

How big is the drift? I'm not able to do anything precision stuff with mine at any long distance with the fuzzy recticle anyways. Is the deift large enough to miss a man size target at 100 yards?

1. Thermal drift which causes shifts up to +- 4MOA
2. Optical distortion which causes shifts up to 20MOA
3. Moisture seal leak which causes reticle dimming

According to that settlement doc, EOTech currently has or has already developed a fix for #2 circa 2008 and #3 circa 2013. #1 is a design defect that does not have a fix.

Check out the EoTech website. They specifically say there can be a minor shift if the sight is zero'D at 70 then shot at 50. Even So Cal has temps that range from over a 100 to 30 at night. I was at burro yesterday and it was 48. My EoTech was off zero. Coincidence?

[Flux Capacitor]

Anybody getting return authorization approvals lately? All i got was a paper to attach to my return after i get tgeir approval.
