    so... The eotech recall came out a few moths ago... Has anyone traded in for the refund? I'm considering turning in my XPS2-0

    My only problem would be finding a quality optic to replace with that money... Aimpoint pro? Maybe just save up for a t-1

    I did some research on this since I had one on order when I found out about the whole thermal drift issue. In fact somewhere on here is a thread about it.

    Anyways I found out that any produce after 2013 had the fix. Mine was made Oct 2015 so I am keeping it.

    Also Engineers have stated that any of them will have some degree of thermal drift if the temperature change happens in a short span of time and is severe enough. Think LEO getting out of a nice toasty patrol car and the outside temps are 30 to 40 degrees colder than the temp in the patrol car.

    That's my understanding. Anyhow just stand by someone will be along to shout praise or throw crap at them (sights).

    I also have other makes/models and like the EoTech the best.

    No doubt the EoTechs are nice optics. My LGS let me return mine and I got the
    Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24. 2 other good options would be the Aimpoint PRO or the
    Trijicon MRO, both in the same price range

    I have all of the above and you really can't go wrong with any of them. Choose whichever you prefer and fits your budget.

    I had two, a 512 and a 557, returned both, had a check in about 2 months. I had bad thermal drift as I used them year round, and the zero would really change in the winter. If you want to return yours, go to the Eotech website and there is a link for returning. You enter the serial number and what you paid and get back an authorization to return with the addressnto sent it. Real simple, no argument, but they want take back the magnifiers if purchased seperately.

    Yeah the turn in process seems pretty simple. Right now, my EOtech is sitting in my safe in its case, off my rifle. I'm still deciding what to do. Thanks for your input!

    I returned mine back in Feb and it took about 2 month to get the check. I'm sure its quicker now.
    I bought myself a Trijicon MRO and I love it. I think it has bigger FOV than my exps2 and much more clear dot. Mated it with a Midwest's QD MRO 1/3 co witness. Just perfect. Unlike the Eotech, it feels better to run the optic more rearward of the gun.

    Well, I just pulled the trigger and shipped it. Now we will see how long it takes to receive that check!

    Trying to figure out what I should do. Traded a guy for a xps2-2 over a year ago. I'm wondering what the value is on it?
