Is the only other option aimpoint? I'd prefer an American made option if at all possible. What says the hive?

Trijicon is your only American option that is even in the same league IMO.  SRS, MRO.

Maybe the trijicon RMO? Was $389 at primary arms cyber Monday sale. At that price it certainly is tempting. Maybe we'll see prices like that again in the future.

I've been running an MRO for a few months (thousands of rounds) and I still love it.

I've never used an AIMPOINT... and my next optic to purchase is a ta31. Maybe an AIMPOINT after that.

I do run the MRO right now on my colt...and it's awesome.

Apparently they made some untrue statements on the product's performance in very fucking cold weather
in order to get a government contract....and then later tried to cover it up via a "product recall" or "update" or something.

Something along those lines is what I heard.

Yeah they were pretty extreme temps that it was at.  At first I wasn't concerned, and then started thinking in my state NM my truck interior in the summer will exceed those temps.   95 degree day the interior temp of a vehicle can break 150 easy.  While I only have 1 Eotech it will not be on he truck gun and won't purchase anymore because of this.   I just breezed through the article about it and don't remember if it was a permeant shift in the zero but I like my MePro and ACOG better anyway so I will stick with them.

He's being facetious towards what I'm guessing he might refer to as "chairborne rangers" deciding EoTech is insufficient to defend their ammo forts.

FWIW an EoTech is perfectly capable of doing what Aimpoints do on my toys.  I just fucking hate that sparkling laser reticle.  It hurts my eyes.

Nothing. The Army found some units that apparently wouldn't hold zero in extreme temptetures and it violated a contract/agreement. Personally, after using eotechs overseas multiple times and at home, I've never seen a problem in said extreme temperatures nor do I know anyone in civilian life, the conventional army or special operations that have run into a problem with them. What you are going to see are the aimpoint fanboys trying to convince everyone that all or even a large portion of eotechs are bad. For what it's worth, I think both are quality products and do what they are designed to do quite well.

You've been in hotter than 150 degree temps?   The record hottest temp on he planet is less than that.  Unless your swimming in volcanoes or some shit.  

Like I said in my previous post.   I won't use my Eotech as my truck gun due to the fact that we have hand a month + with over 100 degree temps.   Still like them but I like their competitors better so I will stick with them.

I believe I read that while they originally said it was only in "extreme" temps it was later revealed the "cold" range of temps started being a problem around 32 degrees F and the "hot" range of temps started around 95 F or so.

Heck, in Michigan 32 in the in winter is a warm day and 95 in the summer isn't exactly unheard of. Assuming this is accurate we aren't talking about -20 or 120 F here.

Of course, now I can't find where I read that. (I just looked so i could post a link but couldn't find it again)

That said I'm actually trying to trade in my old "N" battery Eotech that never worked right (battery issues) for a more modern unit. It's only going to be a range toy for my UZI so I'm not worried about the wandering zero in cold or hot weather.

I've got an Aimpoint Pro on my main AR and actually prefer the single dot to the more "busy" Eotech reticle anway. (That and the battery life)

the few eotech fanboys come out strong in these threads.  Their only defense is name calling and telling everyone how they don't need an optic that performs in extreme conditions since they're just a basement operator.  What a shitty standard for gear.

Basically they forged testing documentation and claimed the sights met specifications, when absolutely no testing of that type was done at all. Turns out every single one(100%) that was randomly pulled for testing by .gov showed large shifts in zero with temperature fluctuations, like on the order of 20 inches or so.Then there's the endless nitrogen leaks, delaminations, battery box problems, etc. The there's the lesser known issue of the zero shifting with brightness adjustment; Pat McNamara claims to have seen 4MOA shifts from just that alone.

People here claim to have zero issues with theirs, and I'm glad for them. All three I've bought turned out to be defective pieces of shit.

I'm glad yours worked for you and your teammates, I really am. But you would be well served to read the documents involved. It was a little bit more than "some sights":

http://soldiersystems.net/2015/11/25/the-details-united-states-of-america-v-l-3-communications-eotech-inc-l-3-communications-corporation-and-paul-mangano/

In more recent years, as EOTech subjected new models of the sights to qualification testing, the test engineer documented thermal drift in every sight tested in report after report.


In other words, 100%. If you own an Eotech, it is defective. period.

I've only used Aimpoints and currently have a PRO, which has been beat on pretty good but is holding up fine. I just wasn't a fan of Eotech's reticle and shorter battery life.

I like their reticles.  It was the battery life and issues with the switches that lead me to buy Aimpoint.

I like their reticles.  It was the battery life and issues with the switches that lead me to buy Aimpoint.

I think I hit a record for the number of times my post has been quoted in a single thread

So they lied to get a .gov contract? Bet that doesn't seem like the brightest idea now that they've been found out. Does anyone have a link to a reputable story about it?

I've only used Aimpoints and currently have a PRO, which has been beat on pretty good but is holding up fine. I just wasn't a fan of Eotech's reticle and shorter battery life.

I think it's easier than the Aimpoint as in seeing your surroundings. It's more open. It's hard to explain, I just feel I can see my surroundings more with an EOtech over and Aimpoint's bulkyness.

This is what I'm talking about.

I could have put a Trigicon on my service rifle but I chose the EOtech instead. It's preference I suppose.
