Any update from those who have submitted a RMA form? Just got my email this morning that said my refund has been approved. Says to send back the form and my xps-2 and they will refund me msrp + 15$ shipping. I have no idea how long it will take to get the refund though. When did you send it? I put mine in Sat night and haven't heard anything. Seems there have been a few people who filed after me who have their RMAs approved. Wondering where my approval is as well. Submitted mine Sunday and saw people submit yesterday getting approved same day. Looks like I spoke prematurely, just got a refund approval email. |

I submitted my request yesterday morning around 8:30a. Got my approval e-mail back at 1:45p yesterday afternoon for a full refund plus $15 to cover the shipping. I'm sending back a 512 that I bought in 2007 for $470. It goes out in the mail today. They did not say how long it would take to process the refund... the wording in the email was "as soon as possible". View Quote Yeah I'm kinda worried about that too...Does ASAP mean they'll wait til they get all of them back and then refund or does it mean they'll wait til enough of them come back that the corporate law team says the company now has enough claims against it to file bankruptcy and leave everybody who bought one holding the bag ![]() |

I am glad to see some solid proof to back up the anecdotal evidence we have had for years.
I hope the Gov gets all their money and then some. Who knows how many troops have died or been ineffective due to their sights being off by 20 inches at 100 yards! Complete garbage. |

I have a 3 x magnifier for my xps 3-0. Will it work with other sights or can I return it as well?

I submitted the form last night. Just waiting on the RMA approval to send back.
Since I've never used my 512 in cold weather and I use this on a patrol rifle, I'm not taking chances. I will use the refund $$$ to get a Aimpoint Pro. This should have been in a tech forum in order to stop the typical GD couch commandos from turning this into a deep circus. |

What are you guys writing in the comment section of the RMA form?
Are you just requesting MSRP? Thanks John |

Which is why I am debating filing for a refund. Part of me thinks if they could fix it, they already would have. I have a may 2001 model that I filed for refund on....worked perfectly for 14 years. But I don't trust it. Especially when it still turns on but might have a POI shift due to change in temps, which are common in the west. There was a guy I worked with years ago who had a pair of hiking boots, wore them until they had holes in them, then took them back to REI back when they had a no-questions-asked return policy. Got a full refund, and bought some new boots. At a certain point, you have to admit you got your money's worth and are just gaming the system. How about you take the recently popular moral higrounding bullshit and stuff it up your ass? Whatever you say, guy. ETA - I'm not sure what you mean by recently popular, but these values have been around for some time now, and some of us take them seriously, and not just as something you had to recite at the DFAC during basic. What do you get about: It still works. I don't trust it to hold zero in adverse conditions. It's not like your boots example because the thing isn't worn out....as it still works like New....it's just a faulty design even if it works. No go sit and spin, and I'm not your guy. Talk that way to my face some day and we can settle it, otherwise stfu Oh, and I'm not violating any moral standard of eotech says they will take it back and refund my money...they are offering. Im not taking advantage just because I get a benefit.....no more than if someone offers me a cake and I take them up on it. I didn't lie, I told them the truth on my rma form.

Great. This thread is going to get nuked because of opinionated social butt hurt flowers.
Take your fight somewhere else please. Some of us that use these items for work are concerned about its reported defects and would like our hard earned money back. My agency does not give us these items. They are out of our own pockets. Start your own thread. |

What are you guys writing in the comment section of the RMA form? Are you just requesting MSRP? Thanks John Here's what I sent them for my 2008 552. It was something someone else had sent them and I tweaked it to fit me. Recent findings have indicated that high humidity and temperature fluctuations result in deviations from a battle zero and POA/POI discrepancies. I have been using this as an optic on a home defense and vehicle ready rifle, I no longer trust the reliability of this optic with my safety/life. I am requesting a refund for my original purchase price of $608.83 (local purchase price with tax). Thank you. |

I'm sure there are a ton of people out there driving Aspens, Durangos, Dakotas, Grand Cherokees, and Liberties with no problems either. Fact is Chrysler is buying those back above market value due to a safety issue. L3 is doing the same thing, albeit in a stealthier manner because they haven't been ordered to by a legal authority. Is every owner owner of those vehicles going to sell them back? I doubt it. But the fact is both Chrysler and L3 are admitting inherent flaws in their designs and giving owners of those products a method to correct the situation without punitive court costs. If you like your Chrysler, keep driving it. If you like your EOTech, keep shooting with it. But when the people that made it are telling me, "Yeah, we fucked them up," I'm going to listen.
