Who has had an EOTech problem?

[rickmy]

At work we have 7-8 assigned to armored vehicles for gas guns/impact munitions. They go down so often I keep a log. I have also seen several break in training including the glass in one recent ally made model. I have never had an issue with an aimpoint.

When I took over the armory for TC in Baghdad in '07 we had about 375 EoTech Mod. 552 Rev. F sights. About 70 of them were INOP due to battery pack issues and issues with the rubber membranes.

Just curious, was there an equal number of Aimpoints in use at the same time when these failures were occurring and do you see the military phasing them out in favor of the Aimpoints success?

I can't speak for IG, but anything can break. Case in point, my Picture.

Is there a common failure in those pictured or is it more of a random "anything & everything"?

The customer service was terrible and it took me about 6 months of dealing with inept people until I got resolution.

I will never use or recommend another Eotech again.

Hasn't the company changed hands since then?

L3 bought out Eotech in '05 which is part of why I feel their CS went down some since then.

I think IG's post was the first one in this thread (and first I remember ever reading) stating negative experiences with their CS. Granted, his circumstances were different than most of ours, but everything I've seen and my own experiences were extremely positive.

I wasn't in the military and we only had EoTechs. I have however seen numerous Aimpoint M68s that held up up fine in comparison.

Not sure. I know L-3 took over a few years back. In any case there is no reason for me to ever buy one and I will always recommend Aimpoints.

Sorry to hear about your eyes. Oddly, most people I know switch from irons to some type of red dot/holo sight when they get older?

No, just don't see a nice round dot anymore. Astigmatism.

I am old though

Whenever I get an updated prescription, the dot look fine, but as the scription gets older, it goes to shit again.

I am getting a TA33 to put and end to this. I still have a T-1 2moa on another rifle that for some reason doesn't look as bad as the Eotech dot

I'm keeping that one
