I personally wouldn't waste the time trying. Give springfield a call and get that RMA for it. It's highly unlikely it was a bad battery and it's definitely a manufacturing defect. Springfield customer service informed me the somes wasps weren't dimming properly.
That's what they told me too. But both of mine dimmed properly (three detectable intensity levels noticed). Yet, both died at almost 1 month exactly. First one had seen two batteries, lasting two months in total. Second one last 1 month and 1 day.
Yep, I want my money back! That’s what I’m going to tell SA when my next Wasp (third one!!) fails. Haven’t received it yet, but I already know what is going to happen.
Nobody buys a firearm directly from Springfield, they are all bought through an LGS that are supplied by a distributor. If you registered the firearm with Springfield for the warranty then have them work on it.
Correction, not 6,000 hours but 65,000 hours……or 2 years
Yes your correct. My mistake. Thanks for the update.
trust me, yes expensive. did you try to zero it yourself? normally it should be zeroed in at 25 yards from the factory. if so, and your still getting problems, contact them right away and get a new wasp. lead time to get a wasp is 30 days. confirmed by customer service.
Not on out of the box, tried zeroing didn't hold. Recounted optic and tried to zero again with no luck. Possibly got a lemon going to call them tomorrow.
Yes , call them and get a new one. Be about 30 days lead time. I noticed that when purchases were made through a dealer for the RDP, those had the problems. If ordered separately didn't have the issues we are having. Just my take on it. But it will get resolved.
With all due respect, a problem with it not holding zero is likely not a problem common to the sight. Not holding zero can be a any of several issues, especially loose mounting screws or insufficient torque on the mount screws.
I'd suggest you double checking the mount system for tightness/security before condemning the sight itself. A 'really competent gun smith' can usually 'feel' an appropriate torque on a mount screw, at least close enough to keep it tight. The rest of us usually need a little help in the way of a good torque sensing screw driver or a 'really competent gun smith'.
I agree, but my particular issue is dead battery after every month. 3 batteries in 3 months. Has to be the faulty unit. But tomorrow i will be sending back the wasp. Was told 30 days to get a new one. Thats fine. As long as they are doing there part. Springfield is good with there warranties.With all due respect, a problem with it not holding zero is likely not a problem common to the sight.
