Mine was an EXPS2 manufactured Sept 1, 2013 and it was approved for refund.

I thought I would share my EOTech experience with you guys. I have had a EOTech 552 for 8 years and have never had any problems with it. It was on my patrol rifle and worked perfectly fine during every qualification. However, because of these recent events with EOTech my department has ordered all EOTech's off of personally owned patrol rifles. EOTech offers a voluntary buy back program if your optic is one of the faulty ones. How I understand it from EOTech is they will give you current pricing on your optic if it is found to be a faulty one. That brings us to another issue as current pricing doesn't cover nearly what I paid for it to begin with nor does it cover the cost of another quality authorized optic to be put onto my rifle.

My department sent out a memo stating that if EOTech can verify the optic you are carrying is not faulty they will allow the optic be put back onto your rifle. I attempted to contact EOTech to see if this was a possibility. First they are apparently closed every other Friday, so I got nowhere with my first attempt. I then sent a lengthy email regarding the situation at the police department and if they had a way to verify my optic was not faulty. I had a one sentence response within 15 minutes stating, "This is not a recall program it is a voluntary buy back program" and they provided a link.

Of course I responded with another lengthy email informing the writer that i had never called the program a "recall" and know about the link provided as it was the same location I got the customer service email to contact the company. I pointed out to them that on their own website and their own admittance their product is faulty and nevertheless does not change my situation at the police department. I then re asked my question about verification. Approximately one week later I got a response that said, "No, they cannot verify the product using a serial number." And again was provided information about date ranges of faulty products.

Needless to say I have no purchased a Trijicon MRO to put on my duty rifle.

^^^^How do you like that MRO? How much was the $$$ a part of your decision over an Aimpoint or other quality optic?

I'm also curious as those MRO's have caught my attention.

I haven't gotten to use mine yet. I just got it and I qualify with it at work next Tuesday. I have looked through them and I really like the way they sit on the rifle. They also seemed to be kind of rugged compared to some of the other options out there. The biggest factor for me is the need for something with no magnification and a must have is the ability to acquire iron sights through the optic. The optic glass seems a little larger than some of the others and I feel like seeing the iron sights is relatively easy (from looking at friends at work).

I know they have less expensive Aimpoint products but the ones that I liked were anywhere from $80 to $150 more for the package. I do like Aimpoint and think they make a good product, but I wanted to spend a little less. I also didn't get a chance to look through a lot of them that were already mounted on rifles. After that I really didn't look into a lot of other brands. Someone recommended Sig Red Dot optics to me and I did a little research but ultimately didn't know anyone with them so I strayed away. If Sig quality says anything I'm sure they are good.

So now it's not just Eotech that has thermal drift. Trijicon has come out and said their sights are also affected. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2...-trijicon-mro/
