Advice needed for Eotech 552

I purchased one of these used and have had several problems:
- just a bear to get sighted in. Usually I'm close after 6 shots or so, but we were talking boxes here...
- once sighted in, if I don't shoot the rifle very regularly, the drift gets way off (always to the left). Elevation gets off a little, but not much. Drift may be off 8 or 10" at 100 yards.

I've got it on an AR15 and shoot standard 55gr ammo. I used the same ammo; even from the same case. The rifle shoots consistantly, just never in the same place 2 days in a row. I"m not after 1 or 2 MOA, but would at least like to keep it on the paper.

I'm thinking the reason I got a deal on it, was it was having problems. Has anyone had similar issues? Has anyone sent one back to Eotech to be serviced? If so, how did they do and what was the approximate cost?

Is it tightly mounted?

Yes, that's the first thing I thought of and I made sure everything was good and tight before I took my first shot. When I finished shooting everything was still locked in place. I'll go out again next Friday and see what happens.

I contacted EOTech yesterday and they recommended I send it in for a check up. They agree something's got to be wrong. Depending on what happens Friday, I'll probably do that.

Glad EOTech agreed it was the unit at fault.
