US Gov sues L3 (EOTech) for fraud

[SMiller]

Thanks for the updates guys!

I've heard they are tough, especially the metal ones. The less expensive plastic housed ones are a lightweight option. If it had the EOTech reticle, I'd have jumped on one. I've heard the battery life is vastly superior to the EOTech, too. I've looked through one, though, and the FOV appeared about the same as my EXPS3-0.

Certainly, if the Israeli military uses them, they are battle proven.

They all have forged aluminum bodies with polymer hoods now including the RDS Pro and M5. The aluminum hoods were on first batch of RDS (non-Pro model).

Mine was #3000 ish and arrived there December 22nd. My check was cut yesterday. Expecting to find it in the mail box tomorrow.

I can't wait to get my check so I can buy two new EoTech's, bet I am the only one purchasing them these days.

Which I don't really understand? The maker themselves cannot figure out how to fix the problem, hence the buyback to avoid class action, so it's not a matter of IF, just WHEN. In light of the massiv buyback, not sure I understand how they keep selling new ones?

 

[cyprant]

They are selling new ones with info in the manual that states they don't hold their POA/POI... Sights haven't changed..

Correct, I have never had a issue out of the two EXPS's I have had, love using the optics, zero shift.


As for the RDS, I did 20min. of research and just from Amazon reviews alone it is a NO go!

So where can I buy an EOtech for cheap? They still seem to be high after this news I would figure I'd see more of a discount

Probably not many to be had cheap. Not when you can get a full refund from the factory.

It boggles my mind to know that people are still knowingly buying these things at full price! The manufacturer has stated that they are ALL defective, just a matter of time as to when it fails? Would I buy one at a substantially discounted price to put on a training only rifle, probably, if I could get a half off or better EXPS, but there are still cops running these things in public?

 

[deadsquirrel]

I would buy one but I'm not paying $600 for one that's ridiculous for a red dot with verified problems

Finally the government did something to help us! I have 2 and haven't experienced any problems but I'm not going to risk my life, they are going back. I just hope the progress doesn't slow to a crawl as it goes on.

Just got my check for $554. It's either another AimPoint or a 1-4x w/Bobro mount.

 

[SMiller]

I am guessing my check is in the mailbox but I refuse to walk all the way down the drive to find out...

 

[sig1473]

Mine was sent out 12/14 and was processed 12/22. I was claim #4134

 

[Booya]

Submitted 12/11 & 12/18, each approved within 24-48hrs, shipped within 24-48hrs of that. Both checks received today.

 

[dustinfz6r]

Got mine today as well!

Still playing phone tag with them. I keep calling and asking about that paper I need. They keep telling me that they "have escellated the question and someone will call me in a day or two." Got that 3 times already. I'm going to call again tomorrow and ask for a supervisor. Getting tired of this thing sitting beside me when it was approved at the end of last month. I can't mail it out until the answer my question.

They don't send you any papers. You print it off yourself and enclose it inside when you mail back your Eotech.

I know that now, after I got my confirmation email. I mentioned it up thread. I didn't see any instructions to print out the request when I first did it. It could have been a script blocker and that didn't display, or I just missed it. Either way, I don't have that paper. They accepted my request and issued me a case#. I saw they wanted the item, the printed email and the original printed request. Since I didn't have that I called them and asked what they wanted me to do. All 3 times they put me on hold to ask someone higher up and all 3 times they came back and said someone would call me about it. I asked when and was told I would be called back in the order of my request. This has been dragging on since the 30th. It's boxed and ready to go.
