After this fiasco I wonder what they're gonna sell for used now? Everyone keeping theirs might as well keep them forever. I don't see them being worth much. View Quote That's why I'm sending in my 557. I'll get more from Eotech than I ever would have selling it. I'm going to buy a Vortex HS-T 4-16X MRAD scope for my new 7mm Mag precision build. I've already bought 1-6X scopes for my other ARs. I had the Eotech on my 300 BLK upper, I'll just throw a Primary Arms red dot on it later. |

I just filed a claim through eotechlawsuit.com. I'm pretty sure I am gonna be the Class Action Rep for my state. By doing this you should recieve more than a even refund or gift certificate in place of one. View Quote Yeah I'm not looking to sue anyone. I don't have any damages. I just want my money back. |

Why would anyone need anything more than a full refund? To me, them issuing full refunds is as good as you could ask for on their part. All taking them to court is going to do is cause them expend funds they could be using to buy back more sights, or cause them to stop issuing refund all together until its over.

So has anyone actually recieved a refund? I sent one off and I'm waiting to send the other.

Looking down a tube isn't a problem. Aimpoints are proven quality optics. What do you want us to reccomend? A magical non-EOTech EOTech? You could try the Meprolight Tru-Dot/Pro/M5... Which isn't nearly as proven as an Aimpoint. Or that new Leopold optic, which is $1,000 and completely unproven at this point. Or you can just suck it up and buy an Aimpoint, which is proven and costs like $400. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I spoke to Eotech this morning. To clear up my personal situation, and help others with the "MAGNIFIER" confusion, the MAGNIFIER MUST BE INCLUDED. That is NOT what I was told in 3 different emails from "Patrice" But I can assure you, they want both pieces back, since in the HHSI and HHSII they are a "SET" I was told to send my magnifier back or I would need to adjust the refund amount down to account for the magnifier. I was ok with that, and actually think it lends credibility to this. FOR THOSE WHO KEEP PUSHING THE "CREDIT" VS MONEY DEBATE, STOP. ITS A MONEY REFUND, NOT CREDIT How would they know it was bought stand alone if they aren't requiring receipts? I have 2 eotechs and a magnifier with flip to side mount that work great so I don't want to return them and get stuck with a magnifier I no longer have use for. The last thing I want is to return them and not receive my refund so do we know how long it will take to receive the refund? Also I don't really care for aimpoint so don't know what I would replace them with anyway I may just keep them. This has been asked before.

My guess is from the serial numbers; their systems should tell them how they were originally packaged. The HWS had one, the magnifier another, and the combo packaging/case had a third. I listed all three on the RMA request. And when they open the box it's in the combo pack - if you bought the combo, both the HWS and magnifier are in one case. It's not like they just took stand alone units and bundled them. |

So, I am in a quandary on this. I bought a used 511.A65 cheap (<$200) some years ago at a gun show. So far, unit has worked fine, but I live and operate in a high-humidity environment (FL) and the issues reported could adversely affect the sight in my use. If I ask for a refund of what I paid, it makes acquiring a suitable replacement difficult/expensive. So, keep the unit, ask for a refund for what I paid, or ask for MSRP in order to maximize my ability to acquire a suitable replacement? Thoughts?

Still has an extra lens versus an MRO or such. Half of the claimed voodoo-space-magic of an EOTech wasn't actually real... It's just another reflector sight. This one just uses a laser shined on etched glass for the reticle it reflects. Which causes all kinds of bullshit problems... And requires a few extra bullshit widgets to half-assed correct these bullshit problems... |

Well...just requested two RMAs for my two XPS. Very bummed. Love the sight but cannot risk ending up with a $800 worth of paperweights...
Luckily had a spare PRO to put on go to rifle. But still bummed... CSB |

The e-mail I got didn't mention anything about a refund just that they would send an RMA # & estimated cost to repair or maybe I can't read between the lines. |

EOTech appears to be going above and beyond to do the right thing. Hoping it works out. |
