FASTER. SMARTER. HOLOGRAPHIC.

EOTECH HWS® optics use advanced holography—not LED projection—to deliver a faster, clearer, and more accurate sight picture. Designed for speed, precision, and situational awareness that standard red dots can’t match.

RETICLES

0-RETICLE

The 68 MOA speed ring with a 1 MOA dot enables fast target acquisition and provides three aiming points, calibrated for .223 Cal. 62 Gr., 2,900 Vel. Other calibers can be used by determining the ranges. With shotguns, the ring approximates shot patterns, which vary based on choke and shell type.

XR308

The XR308 reticle is specifically designed for the military M240 machine gun. It’s calibrated for .308 Cal., 150 Gr. M59 FMJ rounds at approximately 2,800 fps from a 24.8” barrel.

1-Reticle

The 1 MOA dot-only reticle is ideal for users familiar with red dot sights, offering the simplicity of a single dot with the enhanced benefits of the HWS®.

HWS® holographic optics let you view the reticle and target simultaneously for quicker, more intuitive target acquisition.

 

HWS® holographic optics let you view the reticle and target simultaneously for quicker, more intuitive target acquisition.
