Who has had an EOTech problem?

It's staying open, but some folks are gonna stop needlessly backbiting others, and other folks are gonna figure out that having been around for 3yrs means they've been around long enough to have realized by now that staff instructions aren't an invitation to open public negotiations.

I have an XPS2 manufactured Sep 2010. I had a problem with the reticule fading in the lower right of the window, as well as a streak going from the bottom left, to the top right. I don't know how long the sight was like that, as when I bought it I was stationed overseas and my rifle was at my brothers house.

I didn't even know it was a problem until I joined this sight and did some reading on Eotechs, and looked on their website. I emailed them them last month, and sent in the sight for repair. Got it back in a week and the issue is resolved.

I had an EOtech battery spring fall out after a few years of use. It was easy to solder back in.

On the flip side I have seen some old ass beat the **** up old school m68's work like a champ. I have never seen a t-1 and compm4 fail as well.

I have ran sopmod eotechs in Iraq and compm4, and t-1 in assholistan. My eotech was babied compared to my aim points. Not saying that no one has ever had a problem with a aimpoint as I'm sure people have but I have not in my personal experience


I prefer aimpoint, if I was still active duty I would never run a eotech of any flavor in combat.

Good for you, but that's not the point of this thread.

How do you figure? He gave first hand knowledge of EO Tech failures.

god knows how many arms mounts I have seen fail on the sopmod optics.

Can you give more details? Did they fall off? Fail to hold zero?

What problems did yours give you?

Do any of these units have an "F" printed on the lower right hand corner of the protective "hood" when looking at the "driver side" of the sight?

The F mark denotes the updated fix from the earlier models that had issues of turning off. I have owned this F model personally since 2008 and it has served me well. I still prefer my T1 or Pro but my EOtech still has done a good job and sits on one of my Noveskes

Edit: I did add the Larue riser and it is the right height for my cheek weld.

Have a 512 that has served well. Battery spring contacts died last year. Called customer service requested a "contact kit" they sent two and I picked up a new spare battery cover. This EoTech now sits on the wife's .22lr M4 clone. I am running an EPS2-2 on one rifle, a TA33 on another and a T1 on the third.
