Title: More than a little ticked off right now......
Post by: chatterbox on February 17, 2012, 02:36:50 PM
I went to the range today to dial in my 835 with my EOTech.
Well, I got it close with low brass, and took it out to 30 with some Federal 3.5-2.25-6's to see how it would do.
Pattern was great, and the sight was just off to the right a little bit. I made my adjustments and shot again.
Hit in the same place. Shot again, this time far to the right, almost off the paper.
Now I'm getting PO'd. Brought the pattern board into around 10 yards, fired a low brass round, and she was wide right. Went to move reticle. It wouldn't move.
I can't believe after all I spent on that sight, that just a few magnum rounds would break it. I have a call into L3 waiting for an RMA. Talked with them on the phone and the assured me they would make this right.
I should have just stuck with a scope. This really sucks.

That sucks.

I've sent back more then one rifle scope because they wouldn't track true. They weren't cheap ones either. The more I know about scopes the less I trust them.

Hope they make it right quickly for you.

I hate to hear that.  Hope they get it taken care of for you quickly!

Thanks guys.
I just packaged it up and it went out with this afternoons mail, and should be there by Wed.
Hopefully, they fix it, and this takes care of the problem. The tough part about repairs like this, is you always have that nagging thought that the sight will fail on you again.

Chatterbox,

PM me your address and I'll get a FastFire out to you Monday morning at no charge.  Pass it on to someone else when the Eotech gets back.  I want to make sure you are ready for the first day of the season.

Sorry to hear of your problems. I haven't had any problems with mine yet, but this makes me nervous. Maybe just a lemon and they'll replace it.

So sorry to read Mike.  :(

I feel somewhat responsible for this, as I recommended EoTech to you. I've never had any problems with the two of mine. Hopefully they will make it right.

Awesome of BurrisOptics to step up to the plate for you.

God Bless,
David B.

This is exactly why Burris is at the top of their field.  Nothing beats great customer service.  They have listened to their patrons and improved the FF III as well.   If you like a single dot site, the FF III is for you!!   You will not be disappointed. 

You Da Man!!!!

Burris is on top of my list as evidenced by what they have done in the past and what they just did, and what they will do in the future.   Thank you, Burris, for your support to the turkey hunting community!!  John

Ah David, don't feel bad. Sometimes things just happen. Wasn't anyone's fault, just one of those things.
I think they will make it better, but thanks to Burris Optics, I will have a very high quality hunting sight on my gun! :icon_thumright:

Not saying anything bad about eotech but I am a firm believer in the KISS principle (keep it simple stupid) which is why I shoot a pump mossberg and have a burris ff2 on it.  Both give me all the advantages of the latest technology with the least probablilty of something going wrong....and I have had stuff go wrong in the past that messed up turkey hunts pre mossy/ff2.
