    Whoever gets mine will be getting a good one. Before I sent it I stuck it in the freezer (still on the rifle), took it out cleaned the condensation off the glass and the POA diddn't seem to move at all using the iron sights as a comparison. Even so, I didn't trust it and after I knew it was happening the parallax seemed to really start bothering me more.

    That would suit me just fine just about everyone I know who returned theirs never had any issues and some have even regretted it. I will gladly take a few lightly used ones for half price or less.

    So there's a few threads on this subject but the other one has been more focused on rebate times so posting here.

    I received a post card yesterday informing me of class action lawsuit against Eotech. Details can be found by looking up:

    Foster, et al v L-3 Communications EOTech, Inc.

    1. Since I already received my refund, I should automatically receive a $22.50 voucher for the purchase of a new Eotech product.
    2. If you still have yours you may be eligible for $25 to $50 cash payment depending on number of claims or a $100 voucher to new Eotech.
    3. If you send it back, you get current refund program plus voucher as in #1 above.

    Hmmm, $1000 for unreliable used optics or keep unreliable used optics and get enough for a few boxes of bullets or discounts on crap. Hmmm, which will I choose?

    Thanks for the information. I need to quit effing around and get my stuff sent back. I need to find out if I should keep the magnifier since it was part of a set or send it back with optic.

    I had heard its SOL about the magnifier. Only the HWS is covered.

    I heard both, that's why I need to talk to someone there. One person said no magnifiers at all. Another said if it came as part of a set then the whole thing could be sent back.

    I'm fine with the magnifier and I certainly have more than enough optics it will work with. At the same time, it's an extra $500 or so that I can put toward something else.

    Filled out my paperwork this evening for a return of my XPS2-2. I'm a little uncomfortable just shipping off my sight. I'll wait until I see more publicity about this in the media.

    Don't be concerned, it's on the level and it's well documented.
    It does take some time to get the check from them, usually seems to be a couple, or three or four months, but they reimburse. It took me some time to convince myself to send it in because I liked the sight so much, I liked the big aperture and really liked the reticle. Don't send yours in until after you find an acceptable replacement because there really is nothing exactly like the EoTech on the market.

    There is now a suposedly time limit to send them back. I read an article about it. I'll see if I can find it.

    I've seen people argue that they wouldn't trust this optic yet put a $25 NcSTAR on their tacticool home defense shotgun.

    Mine has worked perfectly for the last 6 years. I'm a civilian so I'm not going to subject the optic to sub-optimal conditions 24 hours a day in a combat situation.
    Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
