Sure is odd everyone loved their EoTech's last week and now this week they are the work of the devil...
It's almost like people just put them on their rifles and never used them.....
The product has been in mass production (and apparently use???) for years. You'd think people would have figured this out themselves if they actually used their rifles. They were widely recommended and "used" by internet commandos (and actual commandos) until this came up. All of a sudden, all of the keyboard commandos who never use or used their rifles are jumping ship.
Ihave purchased 2 in the last years used off ingo. They seem to be fine but do not get used extensively. Never experienced any issues with them but I do not jump from a hovering helo and run through the jungle/desert either.

I've put hundreds of rounds through rifles with them and other than a battery compartment issue (corrosion leading to intermittent connection requiring replacement of the battery compartment), the only real complaint I have with them is that it is awkward to turn them on in the middle of the night when critter is in the chicken yard. That is why I switched to Aimpoint: leave it on and forget about it. I vastly preferred the expanded field of view of the EOTech.
The extreme weather conditions that cause issues do not exist in the Hoosier.
I agree with your statement. The folks I know who do use theirs extensively (and live in the midwest) saw this court report and said, "Huh. I've never had any issues with mine." Those who mounted one on their rifle a few years ago, shot it once or twice since, and read the report said, "Sweet! Free Aimpoint upgrade!"

I actually saw the problem with mine last year. It was 16°F last year during opening weekend and you could clearly see that the reticle was getting dimmer.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not an EOTech hater. I absolutely love them and I have no idea what i'm going to replace them with. But I had $1300 tied up in optics that may not have a warranty for. I'm still keeping my 3x magnifier.
Has anyone actually received AND CASHED a refund check yet?
