Found it. This is not a bad thing by any means. If the Japanese are good at one thing(other than used panty vending machines), it's making good glass.

It didn't give me a "glass location", it just said it was manufactured in Wixom, MI.

i have a Night Force 2.5-10x32 right now, might sell it and buy a Vortex PST 2.5-10x32 and still have almost enough to buy the Trijicon Accupower 1-4x

Monica. Eotech is kingLol at not calling that failing.

Which it still doesn't do, but think what you want.

You really need to be on 3point5.com

I thought the main issue wasn't with the battery compartment but with rain getting on the emitter causing a starburst effect:

It's a private retailer site. If you are currently or know someone works in retail then they can join with proof of employment(paystub). Some discounts are 50% off vortex(maybe 60%), 30% off trijicon, 60% off bushnell. It all depends which group you fall under.


There is also their sister site, promotive.com, which allows members from active and retired military, leo, etc. The discounts aren't the exact same on the promotive as they are 3point5 but there's some deals to be had.


Edit: looks like they will be adding nightforce to promotive very soon!

So are the films somehow showing chit from the future? I don't understand. Lol

EOTech says it does it. From EOTech's Website:

Thermal Drift
EOTech’s sights experience a point of impact shift away from the point of aim when the sight is exposed to a temperature different from the temperature at which the sight was zeroed. After zeroing the sight at or near ******t temperature (73F), the zero position will shift during operating temperature changes. The sight has the potential to shift approximately +/- 5 Minutes of Angle (“MOA”) at -40F and 122F. Due to thermal drift, the sight may not return to zero. The sights have the potential of approximately a +/- 2 MOA zero shift upon return to ******t (73F) after being exposed to any temperature between -40F and 122F.

This shift results from natural thermal expansion or contraction that is present in various materials as they are heated or cooled, and is greater the more extreme the temperature change. For example, when a sight is zeroed at 70˚ F then acclimated to 50˚ F, less shift will occur. On the other hand, if zeroed at 70˚ F, then acclimated to 0˚ F, more shift occurs. The shift may not be significant to shooters who use their sights at close-quarters ranges. For instance, 5 MOA is a shift of 1.25 inches at 25 yards, and is 5 inches at 100 yards. It also is worth noting that thermal effects are evidenced to varying degrees in common optics, as well as in rifle barrels and ammunition as the environmental conditions change. In all events, to achieve optimum accuracy, the sight zero should be verified whenever the sight is exposed to marked temperature changes, and the sight should be re-zeroed as necessary.

There is no repair currently available to eliminate thermal drift. If your HWS experiences a degree of thermal drift that is unacceptable to you, and re-zeroing does not address the issue to your satisfaction, please contact EOTech, as described below, to obtain a refund of the purchase price.

Impact: The sight’s zero will be affected at varying operating temperatures. This may be minimal for sights used at close-quarter ranges and may be corrected by re-zeroing the sight.

Parallax
All optics experience varying degrees of parallax depending on use and operating conditions. Parallax is an apparent change in the point of aim resulting from a change in the position of the shooter. EOTech’s sights have little parallax when the reticle is in the center of the viewing window, which is the optimum sighting position and also is the correct place for zeroing the sight. On the other hand, if the user is looking through the sight at the outer edge of the sight window – an off-axis view – the parallax error might be up to 43 MOA (or a total of 14 MOA across the viewing window) at 71˚ F (for a sight properly zeroed). In other words, parallax can increase as the user’s view approaches the edge of the EOTech viewing window. To put this possible amount of off-axis error into perspective, 7 MOA equates to 1.75 inches at 25 yards or 7 inches at 100 yards. Viewing through the center of the window achieves the least parallax error. Parallax may increase as temperature changes from 71˚ F. At operating temperature extremes of -40˚ F or 122˚ F, there may be an additional 4 MOA of parallax.

Impact: Virtually none if the shooter is aiming through the center of the sight. Relatively small effect at close-quarter ranges, if the shooter is aiming through the very edge of the sight’s window. As described above, the effect is greater when the shooter is aiming off-center, at longer ranges, or at temperature extremes.

sweet baby jesus. i'll look into that.

1-4x are fuking stupid.

The list of vendors is huge. Anything you can think of outdoors is covered from kershaw knives all the way to hiking, climbing, camping, optics, and even protein lol. There are some firearms deals in there too- FN, beretta, etc. Some have deals worth getting and some can be found at the same price on amazon.

Edit: I believe suunto watches are on there also

Cox PLZ

you know its true and if you bought one, lmao @ you

boxerbriefs >

It's an alternate reality, silly goose

Nugent, I love my vortex 2.5, do it *******
Agree so hard, my strike eagle felt pointless and it was a 1-6. Elcan was hnnnnng tho

Exactly correct.

If anybody cared enough to look into it, or read the first paragraph from the first of multiple reports in the link, they would see that. relent doesn't actually look into anything though, he just rants lol

Also fogging over so that you can't even see your backup iron sight lol

eotech master race.

I don't know why I like dat roll.

I have a spare vfg, might setup something like that.

How many reported issues were there before this news broke? I'm not even talking about fat hicks that shoot their ARs once a year. Entire units I the military use them, including the fact that SOF almost exclusively use (to this day) Eotech for their non magnified optics.

I've witnessed eotechs being used both in Arctic like conditions and in over 120 degree heat. Maybe it's limited to a specific batch, but you're 100% wrong to suggest it's a wide spread problem.Isn't that what SpecterDRs are? Why do you say that? Heard nothing but praise on them from dudes that used them in the Army.Wait is dis yours? You own something that actually looks good?This is separate from the apparent seal issue? The plot thickensMonica we dem boyz

Elcan was TST on my scar. And yes ******* where have you been. Just finished it like a week or two ago.

Man, that film went total mind fk

hoe, what was your set up in the field?

Jerking off on mountains

Mirin hard actuallyRecognized it immediately lol was unaware he was doing that build. Paint looks nice dudeThe same as everyone else's lol

ACOG, PEQ-15, Surefire light, KAC grip.

Stocks and front grips were personal preference.

M14 had a Leupold Mk4, Harris legs, PEQ-15, and KAC grip

Anyone with a R700, looking for a chassis. Cheap as phuk.

It's as if no one does any research before buying anything. They just blindly go out and buy products because of the name. I mean all these problems with EOTech are a huge issue, yet why didn't anyone point out these flaws earlier, like days, months, years earlier? Oy Vey. Don't be sad, hop a board the train, Aimpoint's got you. I heard NCStar makes some decent Sights too.
