    Stop being so dramatic. I let people make their own decisions about how they spend their money. I've got personal beef with a few companies myself, but I don't go around giving people that own their products a hard time about it either.

    You would rather me spend money on a sight made in china? If its between eotech and china I'd have to go with eotech from a moral stand point.

    I asked you to recommend an alternate sight to the eotech, it would seem you would have me buy another brand, I would like to know which one.

    Like I already said, most manufacturers have been caught in one scandal or another over the years. If you went around boycotting every company that's done something wrong or pissed people off, you'd have a pretty limited list of options to choose from, hence my point about making decisions for yourself about what's best for you, not because someone on the internet is butthurt about it.

    I've already told you a bunch of information you didnt know an hour ago. You're on your own now.

    I sent all my eotechs back years ago for cash refunds, back when you were probably just a gleam in your mother's eye.....

    Good luck

    Thanks, I'm gonna get an eotech its really the only option, besides a made in china sight. Can't image how many dead service men they are responsible for. If you sent your sights back when the scandals happened I was very much alive.

    You won't be disappointed. Eotech is solid. If they weren't USSOCOM wouldn't have renewed contracts with them even after the settlement. They fixed their issues and moved forward, about as much as anyone can expect.

    lol we've been through the Eotech thing before in this thread. People who have a problem have a problem with L3/Harris which sold Eotech some years ago.

    now if you're holding out on your grudge against L3 then seriously what tubes are you going to want in your NV? is there something better than L3?

    Cool story, brah. So, lets make this a learning excercise. Don't ask people's opinions, and bitch about getting them.

    Remember, I dont give two shits which optic you think I should buy....

    There is literally nothing to argue about here.

    What happened is entirely documented. I've not made anything up.
