This isn't good news for EOTech...

USSOCOM Issues Safety of Use Message for EOTech Enhanced Combat Optical Sights – Plus More Goings On

Screenshot-64-440x307.png


Excerpt:
"While there is a great deal of information in the SOUM, two glaring issues stick out. The first is the reliability of the HWS in extreme temperatures, referred to as “Thermal Drift”. The PMO has noted a +/- 4 MOA shift at -40 Deg F and 122 Deg F. Second, is the concern over the claim by EOTech that their HWS are parallax free which was the subject of a previous Safety of Use Message from the same office issued 16 March, 2015. In this case they noted between 4 and 6 MOA parallax error depending on temperature conditions. Despite the PMO working with EOTech to rectify the issues, they still have not been resolved."

I finally ditched the red dots altogether. Ok- not true, I have an EO Tech zombie hunter on my AR pistol- because that gun is a toy and needs a bio hazard reticle red dot.

Irons don't move or require batteries. They also don't work well in low light, but I probably shouldn't be shooting blindly into the dark anyway.

My old 512 has been great. I don't really care about parallax since I'm shooting mostly at sub 100 meters, and I never shoot at sub 40 degrees or over 122.

I have shot my Eotech at -30 on a army range, hit 35 out of 40 targets. I have never been anywhere that is 122 degrees... But I have shot my rifle all day long w/ the Eotech in 90-95 degree weather.

Where my dad works Eotech is part of his company and I can get them 1/2 off and I still don't want them. After three of them that was enough for me. I told him to quit working there and go get a job at Trijicion.

Send me a PM, and ask your dad, if he knows where I can get the trainer discount forms. I have 3 of them & and I like them. I'm 100% serious. I'd really appreciate your help!
