SEE THE EOTECH ADVANTAGE

Using advanced holographic technology, EOTECH Holographic Weapon Sights (HWS) are among the fastest and most intuitive sighting systems on the planet.

ret

HWS FEATURES
  • The EXPS3-0 is an excellent choice for professionals
  • Lightning fast target acquisition and reliable toughness
  • Engineered and constructed to meet the rugged demands of the serious precision shooter

Holographic Weapon Sight

EXPS3-0

An operator-grade Holographic Weapon Sight built for close-quarter engagements with fast-moving targets, our Model EXPS3 HWS delivers two eyes open shooting, 7mm raised base for lower iron sight access, and night vision capability. Side buttons and an adjustable, quick-detach locking lever for easy installation and removal.

  • L x W x H: 3.8” x 2.3” x 2.9” (96.5 x 58.4 x 73.7 mm)
  • Weight: 11.2 oz (317.5 g)
  • Mount: 1” Weaver or MIL-STD-1913 rail
  • Power Source: 1 x CR123 battery
  • Battery Life: 1,000 continuous hours at nominal setting, 12 hours at room temperature

The EOTECH HWS Advantage

1

Reticle / Fast Target Acquisition

The “Speed Ring” reticle guides the eye to the center aiming dot for faster target acquisition.

2

Field-Of-View / Improved View

The wide rectangular window expands — not inhibits — peripheral vision that encourages shooters to keep both eyes open, and aids in improved situational awareness.

3

Magnification / Greater Precision

EOTECH magnifiers are designed to be used behind an HWS, and when used with EXPS models (with side button interface), the user can easily operate the sight even with the magnifier engaged.

1

Night Vision

Night-vision-compatible technology provides operators with a radically enhanced sighting system in comparison to traditional red-dot/reflex sights. Its multiple brightness settings are undetectable by enemy night-vision surveillance systems and promote ultimate clarity in complete darkness.

2

Never Out of the Fight

Even when the sight window is partially shattered, obscured by snow or mud, HWS will keep on functioning and delivering pinpoint accuracy. One of the many reasons they’re trusted by America’s elite in the most extreme, hostile environments in the world.

3

Ultimate Stealth

The HWS non-reflective sight window and holographic reticle are visible only to you, the shooter. Engineered for day or night combat missions, there are no mirrored or metal-coated surfaces to give away your position.

4

Unwavering Focus

HWS delivers an instantaneous, razor-sharp view of both reticle and target – unlike red dots. With HWS, the holographic reticle is perceived by the shooter to be, allowing the shooter to focus on both the target and the reticle at the same time. No more shifting back-and-forth from near to far, reticle to target.

100% Authentic Eotech. Do your homework on the seller first!

100% Authentic Eotech. Do your homework on the seller first!
I didn't. I pulled the trigger first and then after seeing all of the negative reviews regarding this sight being a clone or a "knockoff" I got a seriously bad feeling due to the amount cheddar you have to fork over for these. So, I took a deep breath and I contacted the seller "Natural Green Products". They responded in a timely manner and assured me that they are an authorized Eotech dealer and this was a genuine 100% authentic made in the USA Eotech. And it is. I feel like I dodged a bullet. (see what I did there?) From the serial# on the device matching the # on the case, to the warranty card, quick start guide, date of manufacture sticker (Ann Arbor MI) and a sweet Eotech decal, all the way down to the yellow "hey nimrod! Don't stare at the bright laser" sticker. It all came in a new custom cut foam padded Eotech hard-case made by Flambeau. (Which is also an American company). The full user manual can be downloaded via Eotech's website in .pdf format. Enough can't be said about these sights. They are rugged and built for every day professional use in the field. They had some QC issues a while back (check the internet for a time frame) but that has all been resolved. It's an Eotech, you can't go wrong. Kudos to the seller for doing honest business. It's an admirable quality to have in today's world of scam-ridden ecommerce. Now this is Amazon, so I can only speak the truth about this particular product (Eotech EXPS3-2) and this particular SELLER. Do your research and you won't get burned.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Poor QC -- Crescent Shaped "Dots"
    Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2022
    Style: EXPS3-2Verified Purchase
    I want to start off by saying that I really love this holosight -- but I can't say that. What I really need to tell you is that I would have loved this site if it were what it was claimed to be, but the actual unit fell far short of my expectations. I'll start off with a little bit of info about me as a reviewer. I have been interested in long range precision and premium grade optics since the 1990s. I own Zeiss, Schmidt & Bender, Tangent Theta and old Leupolds. Although this was my first holographic sight purchase it was not my first red dot sight (RDS) purchase. I have experience using RDS and have no problems with them. I have 20/10 vision and I do not have astigmatism. I have some presbyopia that limits my ability to focus up close, which results in excellent vision that is biased toward focusing at infinity to render a holographic site picture very clear. I have had no problems whatsoever with RDS products by Aimpoint, Trijicon and Holosun or any claims of "astigmatism."

    Now about the EOTEch sight -- on opening the package I was concerned that I was shipped an item that had previously been returned but was being re-sold as a "NewItem." This is because the mandatory EOTech export restriction warning label on the side of the packaging had been covered up with another label that said, "X001UTZT6L 112850413 EOTECH EXPS3 Holographic Weapon Sight NewItem." (see attached photo). I was worried by the fact that the arms restriction export label had been covered up by a label that declared this unit to be a "NewItem". How could an item being sold as new from the EOTech Store on Amazon be anything but new? This label being stuck to the side of the box, directly over the manufacturer's export restriction label, raised my eyebrows.

    Unboxing showed an item that appeared to be new/unused, as there was no evidence of previous mounting on the quick-detach Picatinny mount. The unit had the typical problems with incomplete and/or excessive glue on the glass windows, as others have mentioned in their Amazon reviews. That's not worrisome to me in the short term, but it does give me pause to think about the horror stories that I've heard about EOTech sights having their glass delaminating after 5 years (when they are no longer covered by the factory warranty) and reticles going dim due to nitrogen depressurization. If you read the warranty information closely, you get 5 years of free repairs, then 5 years of service for $100, then you get nothing. That means that this is at best, a 10-year optic and cannot be considered a 20-year optic or a lifetime optic. There are plenty of horror stories about people sending in EOTechs that are out of warranty and EOTech refusing to service them. As a practical matter, that means that you have to pay close attention to even the smallest glass/lamination/adhesive defects on delivery, as those defects may result in the failure of your optic rendering it non-serviceable and non-repairable. Then you have to resign yourself to the fact that you're going to be SOL after 10 years if the optic should develop a problem, as EOTech does not offer a lifetime warranty like others in the industry. Instead, they recommend the purchase of another new optic.

    The deal killer for this purchase -- the reason that I had to return it -- were what appeared to be manufacturing defects in the reticle and poor quality control. No, I'm not complaining about "fuzziness" in the reticle. That's a user training problem. Holographic reticles will appear fuzzy or pixelated if you focus on them instead of on the target. You need to train yourself to look through the reticle and focus on the target so that the reticle will appear clear. That technique works well once you are able to master it. The problem with this sight was different -- on this sight when I would focus at a distant target the Speed Ring (aka the "donut of death") would appear as a sharp collection of pixels, but the 50/200 yard and 500 yard "dots" did not appear as dots; they appeared as crescents. (see the attached image). No amount of intensity adjustment could make the images appear as dots, the crescents just got brighter or dimmer. The problem is that these targeting "dots" do not appear as dots because there is a defect in the alignment of the holographic grate that projects the dots onto the reticle. This unit was clearly mis-aligned at the factory (or damaged in the supply/distribution network) and never should have been sold to the public. In my opinion this is most likely a manufacturing defect and a quality control failure. The extra label that has been added to the box appears to indicate that the item was purchased, returned, inspected, and marked for resale without bothering to fix the defect. (see attached photos).

    So now I have two options: return for refund or jump through warranty hoops with EOTech. My decision was to take the money and run. If an item is defective on purchase, I never go through warranty I just return it. I'm very disappointed that I have to go this route, because I got a great price on this optic during the EOTech end of summer sale at the EOTech Amazon Store. It's unlikely that I'm ever going to find a deal like this again (I've been price watching for a long time). It's just too bad that when I finally found the item on sale by the manufacturer, I appeared to be the recipient of someone's decision to unload their dud merchandise. This is really disappointing because I want to buy an American product from an American company and I'm willing to pay more to get quality, but I'm not willing to pay more just to buy American if the quality is substandard. The quality needs to be there. Right now it looks like EOTech is sitting on their laurels and passing off sub-par/rejects/seconds during their "sales", hoping that non-discriminating buyers won't notice that they're being shipped seconds. EOTech needs to improve their QC and needs to offer a lifetime warranty to remain competitive in the current marketplace.

    I hate to say it, but the EOTech is being returned, I'm falling back to using a Holosun HS512C, and now I'm shopping for the Vortex UH-1 primarily for it's warranty.

    About recticle options: I purchased the EXPS3-2 because I wanted some long distance ranging capability, but I was not willing to consider the EXPS3-4. The Type -4 reticle is just too difficult to use without a magnifier, and if the dots are not crisp, the Type -4 reticle offers no advantage. Indeed, the Type -2 reticle offers very little advantage, and is best used with magnification. My two cents on this is that the Type -4 ranging dots are crowded and you can't really benefit from them unless you use a magnifier. The Type -2 is also crowded (but less crowded than the Type -4). The Type -2 is best used with magnification, but could be usable without magnification if you've got excellent eyesight and a good specimen of the holosight. (I have good eyesight but I got a lemon holosight). All things considered, if I had to do it all over again I'd probably just buy the Type -0 reticle (single dot) because the rifle I'm going to use with this holosight is intended for close range combat style shooting, not long range precision, and the 500 yard dot really is not needed for non-DMR/civilian applications.

    About the photography: These photos were taken of the actual unit being reviewed. A Zeiss Otus manual focus telephoto lens and Nikon DSLR were used in manual focus mode to accurately focus the camera at infinity to provide the clearest possible rendering of the projected reticle on a dark background. This method yielded the clearest possible rendering of the EOTech reticle, removing all of the fuzziness and as much pixellation as possible. Photographs were taken at each of the available visible light settings on the EOTech using "small" lens aperture at the camera's diffraction limit of f/8 to maximize apparent depth of field while avoiding any diffraction-limited effects on resolution; exposure control was performed manually by "chimping" shutter speed until a suitable image was obtained; long exposures (1/15) at medium ISO were used to prevent the introduction of "grain" by the camera sensor. Photos were selected that showed the most clear definition of the reticle image. Notice that on the EOTech reticle was uniformly in focus within a single plane, while the Holosun reticle had the top and bottom of the Speed Ring appearing at subtly different focus distances near infinity, which results in the "donut" being thicker toward the top of the image than on the bottom; this variation in thickness at the top/bottom reverses when the camera lens' focus is subtly adjusted, indicating that the projection of the Holosun reticle does not lie uniformly in the vertical plane. (the glass is canted). I don't notice this "defect" in real world use on the Holosun, but the crescent-shaped dots are very annoying on the EOTech.

    I want to start off by saying that I really love this holosight -- but I can't say that. What I really need to tell you is that I would have loved this site if it were what it was claimed to be, but the actual unit fell far short of my expectations. I'll start off with a little bit of info about me as a reviewer. I have been interested in long range precision and premium grade optics since the 1990s. I own Zeiss, Schmidt & Bender, Tangent Theta and old Leupolds. Although this was my first holographic sight purchase it was not my first red dot sight (RDS) purchase. I have experience using RDS and have no problems with them. I have 20/10 vision and I do not have astigmatism. I have some presbyopia that limits my ability to focus up close, which results in excellent vision that is biased toward focusing at infinity to render a holographic site picture very clear. I have had no problems whatsoever with RDS products by Aimpoint, Trijicon and Holosun or any claims of "astigmatism."

    Now about the EOTEch sight -- on opening the package I was concerned that I was shipped an item that had previously been returned but was being re-sold as a "NewItem." This is because the mandatory EOTech export restriction warning label on the side of the packaging had been covered up with another label that said, "X001UTZT6L 112850413 EOTECH EXPS3 Holographic Weapon Sight NewItem." (see attached photo). I was worried by the fact that the arms restriction export label had been covered up by a label that declared this unit to be a "NewItem". How could an item being sold as new from the EOTech Store on Amazon be anything but new? This label being stuck to the side of the box, directly over the manufacturer's export restriction label, raised my eyebrows.

    Unboxing showed an item that appeared to be new/unused, as there was no evidence of previous mounting on the quick-detach Picatinny mount. The unit had the typical problems with incomplete and/or excessive glue on the glass windows, as others have mentioned in their Amazon reviews. That's not worrisome to me in the short term, but it does give me pause to think about the horror stories that I've heard about EOTech sights having their glass delaminating after 5 years (when they are no longer covered by the factory warranty) and reticles going dim due to nitrogen depressurization. If you read the warranty information closely, you get 5 years of free repairs, then 5 years of service for $100, then you get nothing. That means that this is at best, a 10-year optic and cannot be considered a 20-year optic or a lifetime optic. There are plenty of horror stories about people sending in EOTechs that are out of warranty and EOTech refusing to service them. As a practical matter, that means that you have to pay close attention to even the smallest glass/lamination/adhesive defects on delivery, as those defects may result in the failure of your optic rendering it non-serviceable and non-repairable. Then you have to resign yourself to the fact that you're going to be SOL after 10 years if the optic should develop a problem, as EOTech does not offer a lifetime warranty like others in the industry. Instead, they recommend the purchase of another new optic.

    The deal killer for this purchase -- the reason that I had to return it -- were what appeared to be manufacturing defects in the reticle and poor quality control. No, I'm not complaining about "fuzziness" in the reticle. That's a user training problem. Holographic reticles will appear fuzzy or pixelated if you focus on them instead of on the target. You need to train yourself to look through the reticle and focus on the target so that the reticle will appear clear. That technique works well once you are able to master it. The problem with this sight was different -- on this sight when I would focus at a distant target the Speed Ring (aka the "donut of death") would appear as a sharp collection of pixels, but the 50/200 yard and 500 yard "dots" did not appear as dots; they appeared as crescents. (see the attached image). No amount of intensity adjustment could make the images appear as dots, the crescents just got brighter or dimmer. The problem is that these targeting "dots" do not appear as dots because there is a defect in the alignment of the holographic grate that projects the dots onto the reticle. This unit was clearly mis-aligned at the factory (or damaged in the supply/distribution network) and never should have been sold to the public. In my opinion this is most likely a manufacturing defect and a quality control failure. The extra label that has been added to the box appears to indicate that the item was purchased, returned, inspected, and marked for resale without bothering to fix the defect. (see attached photos).

    So now I have two options: return for refund or jump through warranty hoops with EOTech. My decision was to take the money and run. If an item is defective on purchase, I never go through warranty I just return it. I'm very disappointed that I have to go this route, because I got a great price on this optic during the EOTech end of summer sale at the EOTech Amazon Store. It's unlikely that I'm ever going to find a deal like this again (I've been price watching for a long time). It's just too bad that when I finally found the item on sale by the manufacturer, I appeared to be the recipient of someone's decision to unload their dud merchandise. This is really disappointing because I want to buy an American product from an American company and I'm willing to pay more to get quality, but I'm not willing to pay more just to buy American if the quality is substandard. The quality needs to be there. Right now it looks like EOTech is sitting on their laurels and passing off sub-par/rejects/seconds during their "sales", hoping that non-discriminating buyers won't notice that they're being shipped seconds. EOTech needs to improve their QC and needs to offer a lifetime warranty to remain competitive in the current marketplace.

    I hate to say it, but the EOTech is being returned, I'm falling back to using a Holosun HS512C, and now I'm shopping for the Vortex UH-1 primarily for it's warranty.

    About recticle options: I purchased the EXPS3-2 because I wanted some long distance ranging capability, but I was not willing to consider the EXPS3-4. The Type -4 reticle is just too difficult to use without a magnifier, and if the dots are not crisp, the Type -4 reticle offers no advantage. Indeed, the Type -2 reticle offers very little advantage, and is best used with magnification. My two cents on this is that the Type -4 ranging dots are crowded and you can't really benefit from them unless you use a magnifier. The Type -2 is also crowded (but less crowded than the Type -4). The Type -2 is best used with magnification, but could be usable without magnification if you've got excellent eyesight and a good specimen of the holosight. (I have good eyesight but I got a lemon holosight). All things considered, if I had to do it all over again I'd probably just buy the Type -0 reticle (single dot) because the rifle I'm going to use with this holosight is intended for close range combat style shooting, not long range precision, and the 500 yard dot really is not needed for non-DMR/civilian applications.

    About the photography: These photos were taken of the actual unit being reviewed. A Zeiss Otus manual focus telephoto lens and Nikon DSLR were used in manual focus mode to accurately focus the camera at infinity to provide the clearest possible rendering of the projected reticle on a dark background. This method yielded the clearest possible rendering of the EOTech reticle, removing all of the fuzziness and as much pixellation as possible. Photographs were taken at each of the available visible light settings on the EOTech using "small" lens aperture at the camera's diffraction limit of f/8 to maximize apparent depth of field while avoiding any diffraction-limited effects on resolution; exposure control was performed manually by "chimping" shutter speed until a suitable image was obtained; long exposures (1/15) at medium ISO were used to prevent the introduction of "grain" by the camera sensor. Photos were selected that showed the most clear definition of the reticle image. Notice that on the EOTech reticle was uniformly in focus within a single plane, while the Holosun reticle had the top and bottom of the Speed Ring appearing at subtly different focus distances near infinity, which results in the "donut" being thicker toward the top of the image than on the bottom; this variation in thickness at the top/bottom reverses when the camera lens' focus is subtly adjusted, indicating that the projection of the Holosun reticle does not lie uniformly in the vertical plane. (the glass is canted). I don't notice this "defect" in real world use on the Holosun, but the crescent-shaped dots are very annoying on the EOTech.

    5.0 out of 5 stars People with Astigmatism, this might be a debate…

    This sight is excellent, I was cautious at first- whether or not this was a scam or completely genuine. These reviewers helped me figure that out by simply selecting a “Seller”, that separates a genuine product, from an ‘airsoft’ replica, I got mine from ‘EOTECH’, and so far it’s very genuine and actually very worth my purchase.

    However; aside the excitement, I have astigmatism. I usually wear my glasses to aide in what I see. That being said, when I aim down the sight with EXPS3-0 [WITH MY GLASSES EQUIPPED], the reticle will appear fuzzy, pixelated, but clear enough to where I can tell it’s a doughnut of death. This sight is made to where you aren’t meant to focus on the reticle, but rather your target in front of your reticle with both eyes open.

    Now without my glasses equipped, the astigmatism will be much WORSE. Everyone’s eyes are built different, but mine- when I aim down the sight without aid of my spectrum, it is VERY blurry to where I feel I’d rather switch to my backup iron sights or better yet, make well sure that I have my glasses on me at all times. I hardly see the dot in the middle of the reticle, but just a red blurry circle in a window.

    So if you have astigmatism, this will be something you have to think about. Do you really want to spend that much money on a product that hardly correlates with your eyes? Unless you’re willingly able to accept that risk, it is a great holographic sight. Especially if you have 20/20 vision, you’d have nothing to worry about.

    The case is excellent, was hard to open at first, but aside that- you get a sticker, warranty options, gray soft foam inside the plastic case, and of course the sight itself- ready to be mounted. You don’t even need batteries yet to install on the inside of the sight, so it was easy upon first delivery.

    Got mine two days earlier than expected, overall a worthy purchase. Can’t say the same for others though, you’d probably have to read more reviews on what they have to say.

    I absolutely love the optic. It took a while for it to arrive. The first seller actually fell through, but Amazon worked with me and made it happen.

    流石実物。実物に越したことはない。
    まる1週間で届きました。

    実物を初めてかったのでレティクルがどんなものかと覗いてみたとこ、指紋というか、なんかぐにゃぐにゃした線が集まって出来たレティクルに感じました。中に２つあるドットも同じく。ホロサイトの仕様上、光を反射させまくって写しているので、そー見えるのは仕方ないのかもしれません。あと気温なども関係してくるので実戦で使ってみたいと思います。
    【注意】レンズに薄い膜みたいのがあり、 傷防止の初期シートではありません。 あまり磨いてばかりで剥がれてしまうらしいです。ちなみにBB弾ではレンズは割れません。BB弾が砕けます。【追記】被弾シールドを付ける際にカバーを外すと思うのですが、トルクスレンチでした。購入の時にフリーダムのシールドが一緒に購入されてるとおすすめに出てきたのですが、実物に対応してるのか分からないので随時更新します。【追記】フリーダム製のシールドは実物非対応でした。ヤスリでゴシゴシしてはめました。正面のサイズはピッタリなのですが上が厚いです。以上。
