For those that have orders that have not been fulfilled (been over a month), I asked if the discount would be applied? No response.

The IDF holster site is taking the 30% discount on their web site now. I ordered one a couple hours ago. The checkout shows the 30% discount but the invoice doesn't. Not worried paid with a credit card.

After no response from 7.62, I sent an email requesting a cancellation to the order. Didn't hear anything back on that today as well. Looks like I'm left to working it through my CC company for a charge back as the item has been paid for a month. Didn't want to do that hoping we could work it out with minimum impact to anyone. Disappointed, but I know with Thanksgiving tomorrow, they are probable busyl

You emailed after 9 pm. We are a very small company, and cannot respond 24 hrs a day, and were out today, and will be tomorrow and Friday as well. We are also in the middle of changing locations.
We are very sorry for the delay on these sights. For us as well as for you it was completely unexpected. Please keep in mind that we are invested in these sights just like you are, and we committed to order these sights based on your orders. Each chargeback costs us at least $50 in the end, and in total, we lose over $100 above the cost of the sight and shipping on each chargeback. At this point, due first to the number of customers to whom we already shipped sights, but who kept the sights and ran chargebacks, and now the number of customers who are running chargebacks to reorder from Mako at their sale price, we are unsure if we can stay in business. We do not currently have the available funds to cover such a loss as it is hitting us when we just invested tens of thousands in a new location. Even if we run refunds for everyone so they can order at Mako's sale price, the funds will not post to most customers' bank accounts prior to the end of the sale. |

Did the anticipated Meprolight shipment mentioned in your November 5th email to customers take place? I fully understand international shipments and customs delays, but if the deal, or your business circumstances, are FUBAR'd. Please let us know. |

The deal is good, shipments are in or coming in, and will be coming in steadily going forward as well, as the importer has a schedule for these sights for the foreseeable future. All of our customer's orders will be honored and fulfilled - we have already paid for them, and they will be shipped by the importer when they get back in after the holiday.
The problem for us is that by the time we get word of the chargebacks from our CC processor, the sights will all be shipped, and so far, with all the chargebacks we have received on these sights, we have not received one sight back from a customer. In every case, the customers are keeping the sights, and getting their money back. In fact, we have one customer who said the post office did not actually deliver his sight. We shipped another at our cost, and then he ran a chargeback, so we assume he actually got two sights for free. We have been called by customers who have told us they are running chargebacks and emailed, but we won't know who does or does not run a chargeback, or the total numbers, which we know will be much higher, until after all the sights are shipped. At this point, even with the ones we know, we are likely too late to stop the shipment of the sights. The other problem is that we have an obligation that we made to order these sights based on orders from our customers, and the importer makes decisions based in part on our orders. We cannot just back out of our commitment and ask them to refund us, it would not be right. |

We don't make much on them, but I get a kick out of seeing people get a deal like this. When I get some extra cash, I am going to get a couple more for myself, especially for some of my kid's rifles, since they are light and easy to use. Wish I had the cash to grab a couple during Mako's sale! I'm also going to do some very cold weather testing this winter, whenever it gets cold enough. One of the advantages for me with the M21 is that it works even in the coldest weather, when batteries kick the bucket. Then I want to put one on a Beowulf and shoot it like crazy. |

It sucks that the low life's are doing this to your company. Meprolight should develop a sales management plan for the U.S. and manage their vendors better so that these situations don't arise (just as Aimpoint and others do). Since you shipped the sights in good faith as per ordered, maybe the cc company will work with you and not refund the money to these jokers (unless they received a faulty unit and can prove it). I may not be a fan of the product but I'm all for small businesses not getting screwed over. Good luck!

I think I'll probably weigh the mepro vs the aimpoint and mount the lightest one on the BCM middy. I'm going to add a 9" KMR to that rifle and I want to keep it pretty light. The other one is right at 7lbs with the Troy rail and aimpoint while the BCM is 6lb 4oz without an optic and should be sub 6lb with a KMR rail.

Just received my first sight today .I love it!
I believe I received one of the "premier" units with the metal hood. I own several M2 and M3 Aimpoints ,this sight could be serious completion in my opinion. Really like the motion sensing switch to conserve the battery while still allowing the sight to be instantly on when moved. I also like the large "window" and the fact that it uses a "AA" battery. Attached to my 10.5 pistol quickly and easily in about 2 min. Mounting needed a little adjustment but it was minor. Dot is bright, sharp and glass is very clear. This thing seems built like a tank and could easily be my favorite sight! The black Friday sale on these was a steal! I can't wait to get the other 2 in! I wonder if they will ever sell them for that price again? A trip to the range this weekend!

is the back (closest to the shooter) attachment part of the rail supposed to be free moving like the one in the front (furthest away from shooter)?
That back metal piece on my unit is locked up.. no idea if it should be free floating or not, but I've held off on trying to mount it because it doesn't look like it should be locked up. |

This thing is the best of both worlds. It's got the Eotech FOV and the Aimpoint reticle and battery life to go with it. Haven't run it hard yet or gone outside with it, but everything feels robust. The adjustment setting knob feels tight and gives very positive feedback too.

Got mine today - premier edition with metal hood! First impressions are very positive. The wake feature is extremely sensitive, which is good, and dot quality is good. Very eager to have multi year always on capability from an Eotech looking device. While some may bemoan the lack of 30 brightness levels, I think the available settings are more than adequate.
I obviously need to test it, but this will likely replace the Eotech xps on my main rifle due to the always on functionality. At 280, this was an absolute steal and more bang for the buck than eve the new primary arms micro sights, which are also a terrific value. If this is good while shooting and holds a zero, this is a winner that feels solid as a rock. I also like the fact that it takes an AA battery vs a cr123. |
