This is a couple weeks old but thought I would share.

It is a good lesson to keep your receipt records.

I always keep records/receipts.. but in this case I won't need them since I'm happy with my Eotechs

I have been told/read that no receipts are necessary.

I have heard that the returns or overwhelming the USPS, who have had to rededicate trucks and people to handle the deliveries!!

I have carried a Eotech for a few years and no had a problem show up. If I were ever in the extreme conditions tested, I am sure I would, though.

I have not decided whether to return my or not. I need to find something to replace it if I do, though!

Happy New Year!

Not sure what to do yet. Thinking I'll take advantage of L-3's offer if I can - the last thing this country needs is another billion dollars in the hands of scumbag trial lawyers. That said, mine's working fine and I don't expect to use it in extreme temps, although the humidity gets pretty fierce where I live. Taking the wait & see approach.

I got an RMA and sent mine back a few weeks ago. No receipt necessary. No response back yet.

I never had any trouble with mine, but no way am I going to keep something that expensive that basically has no value now. We all paid a premium for a product that does not perform as we were led to believe it would. That's a problem.

Reading some of the comments, sounds like they're giving gift cards......doesn't sound like much of a refund to me. "Send us your defunct product, we'll send you a gift card for another defunct product."

^My concerns exactly. L-3 is a massive company, so I don't expect EOTech to go out of business over this - meaning they will remain a "going concern" to support future products. And according to the original news report, it's a decade-old issue, so I am inclined to believe they have remedied the problem by now. So... I went ahead and sent in the return form. Fingers crossed, natch.

The RMA says "EOtech will refund the purchase price plus $15 shipping as soon as possible"

Im don‘t expect "soon" to be antime soon, but gift certificate does not equal refund.

I expect that they will send cheques, which will probably have some additional fine print that absolves them from any further legal responsibility to you upon cashing. They will have to deal with a class action suit at some point I imagine, and they cant get rid of risk without your signature.

I have been a eotech user in combat, civilian and LE duties. Sad to see this come out and that there is an obvious serious problem when no matter when it was manufactured, as in this year and they will refund your money. I have always defended the battery life comparisons and absolutley love the reticle! Now I feel as I have to return mine and look at some other optic.

They don't even say a certain lot or year range and to me that says that all of them are probaly effected.

What are folks recommending as a replacement purchase? I'm currently running an XPS2 300BO on a DD ISR 300BO. Light to medium use for hunting and target shooting in cold temps. I just submitted my refund request and I'm leary to spend an additional $200 on a T-2 replacement; but I will if it's the best choice. Options (Not based on brand love-fest safe rifle but actual usage)? Thanks in advance.
