Has anyone here had a SCAR17 ruin your optic?

They won't hurt an ACOG, but they're hard on electronics.

I've read that as well, but I haven't seen any first hand accounts of it happening. Have you broken any electronics or optics on a SCAR? Do you have a link to reports of someone who has?

Not trying to be a dick about it, I just want to chase this down and find someone who has had it happen.

The issue definitely exists in military guns, and not with BS optics. I have yet to see a report from the non-Mil side. I have no idea why.

From what I understand the EOTech XPS/EXPS is the only series the military deemed able to handle it regularly.

My groups opened up more than enough to notice and (over time and 1,900 rounds) I saw a 1 MOA change in the elevation setting with my standard surplus load. (Zero Stop went from -1.5 to -2.5 MOA.)

I switched out the LT-104 to a ADM Delta mount and those issues appear to have been no BS fixed. Optic is a NF with no indications of any problems - now at 2,400+ rounds on the SCAR 17.

I assume you mean within the EoTech line, because if you don't, I highly disagree.

Maybe it's because of full-auto usage?

I would guess that most civilian shooters can't afford to dump large enough amounts of 7.62 to see any meaningful trends emerge. Military shooters have unlimited ammunition and the benefit of full auto.

I have a little over 3k through mine now, with a T1 in larue mount. So far so good, despite the rail slots being a little dinged up. This is despite pushing it up and keeping the lever tight.

I wonder if a strip or three of Teflon tape would help take up the slack on the rail slots.

They eat EoThingys like popcorn.

Seen too many EoTechs fail on 556 cal ARs to blame those failures on the SCAR.

I think the suspicion is is that the SCAR's heavy* bolt carrier is knocking stuff loose inside the failing optics.
