EOTECH XPS3 Holographic Weapon Sight

This is a great sight - a bit pricey, but the build and optics are high end. It’s easy to operate and zeroing was simple. As I haven’t had a chance to take it to the range yet, I used a laser bore sighter to zero the sight in for an AR at 25 yards and very little adjustment had to be made. The lens is crystal clear and the reticle at 1 MOA is sharp to the eye. The reticle brightness has several settings for your liking - I prefer a dim setting and it’s really low but still able to be seen during a bright day. Judging by my irons (zeroed @ 25yds), I should have no problems making shots out to 300yds. Since I haven’t used night vision since my time in the military, I can’t speak on how this sight would react with a night vision rig; however, from my 1st encounter, it is well worth the money...

I could never go back to a standard red dot after this. Hands down the best optic I've experienced. Worth every penny!

This can be a hot button topic on Aimpont v EOTech but there goes (that said, I have used both)I bought this for use on my AR-15 and am very pleased that I did. It took a minute to get zeroed but I blame most of that on user error. Once I got it set though, it turned my rifle into a tack driver, and that was just using the cheap ammo. It sits a little closer to the bore axis than Aimpont sights (the comp M4) which I like, but that is just a personal preference.Also a preference thing, I like the ring around the reticle, makes finding the dot easier when getting used to the sight (do enough drills and you will just natural draw to the dot and don't I guess need the ring to fond the point of aim). The ring is also useful if for some reason you find yourself needing a 7 (i think) meter zero in an emergency situation.Having a single dot in for a point of aim is nice in my case, (with an AR15 there isn't a need to have graduated dots out to multiple hundreds of meters as the weapon looses its effectiveness) since the reticle does not become cluttered.Compared to other sights like the Aimpoints, the battery life isn't great, but its still lots of hours.In all its a great sight, and I am very glad I bought one, wouldn't trade if for the world.

How do I refund or get this eotech send in Tony get switched out it defective

Pros- transverse single cr123 battery, recoil from large rifles no longer causes movement of the battery. Smallest and lightest eotech yet. The center dot is 1 moa making long range shot (100 yards plus) easy as compared to the 2 and 4 moa dots on the Aimpoints. Literally a unlimited field of view and large lense for reticle to be displayed on being square as compared to round like the aimponts and trijicons. Throw a magnifier in front of it and now its a scope and is night vision ready (model specific)Cons- it does use batteries unlike the trijicons and thus does not self adjust brightness like the trijicons do. The aimpoints also use batteries but they last up to 7 years where I have changed mine once in the 2 years I've had it. Not really a con but worth mentioning as its the only disadvantage I can see vs. the other two.All in all I couldent be happier with my choice. The reticle on the aimpoints is great for pinpoint shooting with the 1 moa center dot yet doesn't get lost or blend in with targets like the aimpoints. Again the design of the eotech puts the battery and electronics of the unit as close to the rifle as possible and the only thing in your line of sight is the protective aluminum hood protecting the glass. The only other option I would ever consider would be the trijicon tripower and that would only be if I thought I was never able to get batteries for mine again. Oh yea and when comparing the top models of three brands the eotech is the cheapest. As far as durability goes I've seen one that was shot right through both panes with a 9mm and still worked fine. I've had mine for years and it has never come off zero from when I first sighted it in. The things are almost unbreakable. An ACOG would be nice but for around 1600 dollars I'll stick with my eotech and go buy another gun instead. Hopefully this will help you make the decision that's right for you and you won't spend 6 months debating before you buy one like me :(

Love this site holds a great 0. Have it on a 12 gauge.Not much to say there it just works. Like it more than a red dot.

Everything you'd expect from an Eotech

The quality is there. Sturdy, made well, light or design type. But The pixels of the dot doesnt work for my eyes. Sorry i couldnt use it.
