Well, I picked up an Eotech 512 at an Academy sports store in Mid November of 2015. I mounted it on a remmy 870 and just got to shoot it today. I put a few turkey loads through it, but mostly just cheap target loads for fun.
Turns out the sight turns itself off at random while firing. It's not the batteries, they are new. I've now read a bit about bad connectors in some models. I always thought Eotech was the gold standard.
It gets worse. I called customer service, which never answered. No 'please hold' or anything. It just rang. And rang. And rang. When I press zero for an operator, it defaults back to the main automated menu.
Frustrated, I decided I'd ask for a refund. So I got ahold of the refund line lady who then read from a script that refunds only apply to sights purchased before November 2, 2015.
Eotech sucks.
