EOTECH is one of the leading names in combat-proven optics. The company’s line of Holographic Weapon Sights (HWS) has been used by combat forces worldwide. New for 2025, however, is the EXPS-3 with the Danger Close Reticle.

FEATURES
EOTECH HWS optics use advanced holography, not LED projection, to provide a faster, more transparent, and more precise sight picture. Designed for speed, accuracy, and situational awareness that surpasses standard red dots. Unlike similar designs, the HWS offers minimal parallax, aiding the shooter in high-threat environments.
The Danger Close Reticle features a 68 MOA ring with a top cutout and an easy-to-spot chevron at the bottom. When zeroed at 50 yards on your .223/5.56 rifle, the DCR offers reliable aiming points up to 200 yards, along with a 7-yard close-range solution at the chevron point. This is an accurate, multi-purpose reticle that gives the user multiple aiming options from up close and personal to far off.
