Good to go. Technical issues were resolved and apparently L3 cleaned house at eotech.
USSOCOM replaces eotechs, with... eotechs.

you've got astigmatism then, I have it too but the eotech looked pretty good to me. However my vortex viper looked like a / to me.

All red dot sights are a blurry mess without my corrective lenses. I'm still a big fan of my old eotech and I will enjoy the new models as much
From what I understand, the sights
were refundable due to
Basically, if the inspection date on the box and underneath the sight is after the date I posted above, after Nov. 1, 2016, then you should not experience the 4 issues listed above however if you do have a sight between those dates, it could have one or all of the issues mentioned.

The issue with the Model 552 was that the recoil of the rifle firing would cause the batteries to vibrate back and forth causing reliability issues because the batteries are parallel with the rifle. On the newer versions of the sight, a CR123 battery is placed perpendicular to the rifle.
A lot of people experience this because they are looking at the reticle instead of looking through it with both eyes open.

Exactly. If you dont have a stigmatism, then chances are your eye was not properly focused and blurred the reticle, i find this only really happens when you say pull it out of the box it came in and hold it up to look through with out having it properly mounted to a rifle and looking at a target beyond the sight.
There were more issues with it than just the battery compartment.
Always thought the EOTech has the best CQB reticle. I’ve been a fan of the sight and have never had an issue. Shot mine in 35C weather. Zeroed. Shot at -30C weather. Still zeroed.
When the “zero shift” story broke, I didn’t feel the need to return a perfectly good sight. Wish the battery life was better, but batteries are cheap and easily stored in the grip.

the only issues I am familiar with, is old designs have problems with battery contracts, and then there was the thermal shift (I want to say up to 6 moa shift??). Ironically it has amazingly little parallax shift. Most red dot manufacturers claim 0 moa parallax shift, but are very far from it.
