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

<strong>0-RETICLE</strong> image

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.

<strong>0-RETICLE GREEN</strong> image

0-RETICLE GREEN

Green is 6x easier to see than red. 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.

<strong>2-Reticle</strong> image

2-Reticle

The two-dot reticle includes a 68 MOA speed ring with 2 MOA dots and is easily distinguishable with or without magnification. Calibrated for .223 Cal. 62 Gr., 2,900 Vel. with options for other loads and calibers.

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

 

The HWS® continues to perform with precision even when the window is damaged or obscured, proving its reliability in the most demanding environments.

 

By projecting a holographic reticle at 200m, the HWS® minimizes parallax—making it the Close Combat Optic of choice for USSOCOM.

 

Built in the USA. Trusted worldwide. Every HWS® is crafted by American hands with precision and pride.

Reviews

Fantastic optic

"Everything about my experience with this optic impressed me. Installation was foolproof with the quick-release base and I'm confident it's not going anywhere or will lose accuracy. The reticle is crystal clear with the best sight picture of any optic I've tried, allowing me to clearly see my target and everything around it. The frame and everything else feels like it just disappears for absolute focus."

Adam G. (5/5)

Great!

"I’m loving it. The holographic tech is incredible, fast target acquisition even on my weak side where I often have to search for the reticle after transitioning. Very intuitive to use and zero"

Jesse R. (5/5)

EXPS2 replacing and old unit

"While I was disappointed t4ed that my old unit gave up after 18+years EOTECH treated me well. I especially like the additional rail space that the EXPS2 provided. The unit prove to be dead on for L&R and only needed 4 shots to get the elevation where I wanted it. Remove& remount returned to zero. GOOD stuff. Service support staff gets top marks too."

John S. (5/5)

Way better than a red

"Way better than a red dot especially for people with bad eyesight."

Brandon J. (5/5)

Great customer service

"The whole process of calling customer service to fix my old EOTECH, to returning it and trading it in for a newer model was extremely painless. Thank you for your great support"

Hung C. (5/5)

Fantastic Product

"The reticle is insanely quick to pick up, even in bright light, and the build quality feels bombproof. Mounts solid, zero holds. For daylight use, it’s perfect. Worth every penny."

Dennis D. (5/5)

Perfect for EVERYTHING!

"The EXPS2 is my go-to weapon sight for most all my "many" AR platforms. It's sleek, compact, accurate, bright, futuristic and mostly indestructible. You can't ask for more at this price range. Strong work EOTech!"

Kane F. (5/5)
