From what I've experienced, I have had really good support from EOTech.  I have no idea about the rebate but it is not all that far-fetched that the rebate would not be valid when you buy the optic and magnifier together considering you are already getting something like a $100-200 discount anyways.  As for going with ACOG, in my opinion the EOTech with the magnifier will serve you better.  I was going to buy the ACOG (I was actually in the store) but I talked to a group of US Army 10th Mountain that were in there at the same time and I was told that most all of them had the ACOG but never put it on their rifle because the 4x magnification and the lack of batteries was not enough to compensate for the difficulty in getting a quick sight picture and they rarely took their EOTech off although they did admit that they felt like they were changing batteries constantly but never acted like it was that big of a problem.   Having the 2 piece set up gives you the best of both (however in a slightly bulkier package).

are you responding to the right post?........Did you even read this post?......I never said anything about an ACOG.......The rebate department, not customer support claimed they would not honor the rebate because the receipt was unreadable.......this was a perfect receipt!........Eotech stuff is great, Im just not happy they screwed me like everyone else does with the rebate scam.........

Welcome to the OT thorne & thanks for the heads up.
 
By the way SWFA sells EOTEC did any of you grasshoppers even call SWFA for a price comparison?
Next time you all want to buy a scope at least make a call to SWFA before you come ranting & raving about the compition wether positive or negative.

So what does price matching have to do with Eotec not honoring their own rebate?..........The rebate comes from the manufacture not SWFA.....

It just drives me crazy when people post and CLEARLY not even read what there posting to.  I was not "ranting or raving" about the price I paid for my optic as one member put it.  I was not comparing Eotech to trijicon as another member did completely out of nowhere.  

My point is very simple:  Rabates are a scam!  It does not matter if I bought the Eotech 3x magnifier at SWFA or Wal-Mart.  I followed the directions perfectly and Eotech found a way to screw me out the $50.00 as I suspect they did to many others as well.  So again for those of you who are not going to read the entire post and respond anyway.  

  • I am not "ranting or raving" about the price I paid for my Eotech magnifier, even if it was not purchased from SWFA like most of my other optics and mounts were.    
  • I am very pleased with all Eotech items I own or have ever had the chance to test out.  
  • I  would consider another another Eotech optic but not because it had a large rebate.    
  • Are most rebates a scam?  Clearly YES and I am very disappointed with Eotech that they would pull the rebate scam.
