Garmin Xero - update

[flyguy1]

The odd thing is that for $600 bucks, there's no case. I guess a little Pelican or knock-off won't cost much, but they could have bought one for 5 bucks.

Anyone found a case they like?

I plan to try mine, once it arrives in a few days, in my Marsupial Small Zippered Pouch.

Small comes in different colors and don't have to worry about damage to your Garmin. We have a lot of "Stuff" when going to the range. Don't want any damage.

Heads up, don't set the Garmin down, then adjust your shooting position backwards to the point that the muzzle is behind the Garmin. Bad things happen (I think this was unburned powder impacts?)

Its getting replaced for $100. I'm happy with that, I don't expect every company to be Vortex.

I've bought a bunch of pistols online, and they seem to always get shipped in a cheap hardcase. I grabbed one off the stack to tote the Garmin in. It's long enuff to leave the unit attached to the aftermarket tripod. Works for me, and didn't cost anything.....

Well I guess if it was not a manufacturing defect. Just glad that you are getting a new one for $100.
I think that all of us Garmin Xeros are GLAD that you posted so others don't get the same effect on their Garmin.
Thanks Much!!!!

Did you put in front of you muzzle?
Don't understand the "Unburnt Powder" comment.
Thanks again

Maybe too close to a muzzle brake?
