For those that were having such bad luck with EOTech, how long ago did you buy them? Just curious.....
I've got an EOTech X*** on my FNH SLP Mark 1. It has seen a steady diet of slugs, buck, and bird. No complaints. Still on the original battery and provides enough illumination that I can't run it full on even in bright sunlight. I couldn't imagine having anything different for an optic on my shotgun. I tried one of those little micro Aimpoints (T1?) and found it lacking for my needs....glad it as on my buddy's shotgun and not mine.
I would post a link to the write-up on my site but this site is intent on putting *** in the model number of the EOTech. None of the links work because of that.
Oh well, go to http://www.stu-offroad.com/firearms.asp and you can find it there.
