EOTech 553

Anybody seen this in official channels? I'd heard rumors about the battery contacts from other sources but this is the first "published" complaint. FWIW - I've been hit with the link three times tonight from friends in the shooting community. Since it is part of the new kit, I figured others might be interested even if it is still in the rumor stage. I'm personally curious and intend to follow-up because I've got two - a 552 and a 553. I like them both (better than the Aimpoint as a matter of personal preference) but haven't put enough rounds through my carbines to have experienced the problem. (Course the 552 on the FAL Para will show wear first! )

I'll check with the SMEs Monday

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
