... For awhile a few year's back, it was lookin' like we were gonna get to do volume CNC machining for EOtech. We threw all effort into it, making and sending them all sorts of variations, then right when we thought it was a go, to my complete surprise, L3 sold EOtech off, lock, stock, and barrel ... and the new owners didn't get the memo. Drats, well, I got this nice memento out of it, so there is that. Ya pay your money and takes your chances🤷 ML

sumziandi EO-Tech's product buy-back was a gift. Good riddance.
- laruetactical @sumziandi ... It's my opinion that the EOtech, a CQB optic, for a shot across a hotel lobby, was perfectly built for it's role. And the high-speed guys that use them went "meh" about all the overblown "Muh zero maybe moves a smidge when they drop me on the North Pole in the middle of winter". To my knowledge, there are no hotel lobbies at the North Pole. 🤷 5 likes
- sumziandi @laruetactical "perfectly built?" Well, to each their own..
- sirgoyle19 @laruetactical some people in the gun community are just as bad as people who watch mainstream media and blow everything out of proportion like the whole thermal drift thing. 5 likes
- sumziandi @sirgoyle19 my statement was pertaining to my personal experience with POI shift in the cold of CO. I was grateful for the opportunity to return it. Money saved from needless re-zero and excessive battery changes continue to offset the cost of the replacement T1 that I purchased from @laruetactical ... lol. But let's not blow this out of proportion, opinions are like aholes, everyone's got 'em. 1 like
- laruetactical @sumziandi ... How much shift did you document the EOtech as being the exact cause ? 2 likes
- sumziandi @laruetactical it was off more than 3" both UP and Left at 100y and the opposite again at a later date on a warmer day. I can't account for every variable... but something wasn't right. 1 like
- sumziandi @laruetactical on a side note though. Thank you. Received my package today 👍
- laruetactical @sumziandi ... 3" at 100 is a thumbnail's width at 25 yards, the distance across the proverbial hotel lobby ... but it's not generally cold in most hotel lobbies 🤷

mdrumscarter Is that Eotech crying 😢 😂
surfandsubmunitions Would definitely be an improvement over the exps locking system 🤦 still use it
morbo504 Now that would be an awesome mount for exps3.
salerno1263 Sweet I love Eotech
ramtac_holsters Can you just sell Cowls? I'd take an ODG one on a heartbeat
direct.impingement NavSea version, sick! EoTech fan boys and cloners will pay big money for those 🤑
cts304 Would have been great if eotech would have went with a LaRue mount, it would actually stay tight.

gunnvulcan_v2 Wait, who owns eotech now?
johnsmith6073 They are still having problems with drifting zero, count it as a blessing.
americanfieldwares Can Anyone suggest a good optic. Still using irons. I was thinking of the xps3 then later adding a magnifier. It will be going on an 18" 5.56 upper.
- modest_omega @americanfieldwares @aimpointusa PRO is 30k battery life, left on for 2.5 to 3 years. I have that on home defense 10.3. Eotech nowhere near that but super solid optic too. PRO with shim from @skdtactical will run 1/3 co-witness 🤘🏻 2 likes
