Heck, I got an RMA for a 551 manufactured in 2003. The 551, unlike the 511, is discontinued. If they'll approve a refund on a 12 year old, discontinued sight, I can't imagine they'd deny one on a model they still produce. |

I didn't write in the notes that I want a refund but I'll be sure to clarify before I send anything in. I'm not looking to spend more money to repair this when I don't really want it. |

Submitted refund request Wednesday night. Received green light approval this morning. No questions asked. No receipt required. Will likely get it shipped out early next week. So what do you expect in a refund? Do you expect full MSRP? |

Requested Refund for 512 on 12/12/2015 (Saturday)
RMA Approval Received via email on 12/14/2015 (Monday) Will add details as they become available. Will be replacing with Aimpoint PRO or Meprolight True Dot unless someone recommends a better optic for a guy with 20/400 eyesight, no astigmatism. Sent April 21 and received April 25 by L3/Eotech Check received on 6/6/2016. |

If EOTech remains, they might create a sight that would be far more durable and capable than their current models. I honestly hope they will do so, as I like their reticle pattern and lack of tint on the lens. I would like to see that too. I hated sending mine off but it's my only optic and I just don't want performance questions for that kind of money. I'd be wide open to it in the future if they rework their stuff and put out something truly solid. |

Can anyone post the parallax specifications for the EOTechs?
L3 has long stated their optics have a 12 MOA parallax error, but this is at 10 yards, or thereabouts. Which is true of any RDS or holographic, regardless of temperature or humidity. Furthermore, the nominal parallax error of the EOTech is going to be inherently larger than that of an Aimpoint simply because of its wider field of view. The court filing leaves out critical information. That's just the nature of court filings, but in this case they seem to awkwardly step around spelling out the specification EOTech failed to meet. |

Shit I have an EXPS3-2 and could hit a 9" plate at 500 yards with it 8 out of 10 and in the last 6 mo. have had 2 zero shifts of about 3 MOA, I really liked this sight but I guess I will send it in. I think the Mepro is a not very close second for this type of sight. Any other sights compare to these?

The entire design has been deemed flawed therefore all HWS models are due for refund. Their CEO lied and was caught in that lie. If it were any other product, people would be out wanting blood and waving torches and pitchforks. To each his own I guess. Free country still.

Got my RMA yesterday, sent my XPS2 in today. Hated to do it. Had the optic on a S&W .460. I had no trouble ringing 8" steel at over 100 yds. offhand.
However, with two sons in the military and zero tolerance for liars, it had to go. Will update when/if the refund shows. |
