Quick Start Guide

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.

DCR™

A 68 MOA ring with the top cutout and an easy-to-locate chevron at the bottom. Zero your .223/5.56 rifle at 50 yards and the DCR™ offers confident aiming points for up to 200 yards, with an additional 7-yard close-range solution at the chevron point.

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.

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®.

4-RETICLE

This ballistic reticle is optimized for use with 5.56 NATO/.223 Cal. with 62 Gr. M855 FMJ rounds at approximately 2,680 fps from a 14.5” barrel. Note that the aiming dots may not be clearly distinguishable without magnification.

MAINTAIN PRECISION

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

NEVER OUT OF THE FIGHT

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

MINIMIZE PARALLAX

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

MADE IN THE USA

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

Reviews

EXPS3 review

"This has been an excellent product I recommend with no hesitation! Eotech was super easy to work with and shipped my package quickly with no issues. I will buy from them again."

— Richard S. (5/5)

A Must Buy For Your Rifle

"The HWS EXPS3 mounting system is excellent. It put me on target right out of the box. The reticle performed flawlessly at close range at 25 yards and allowed me to hit steel out to 500 yards. I did not have to make an adjustment. Absolutely, it's a must-buy."

— Anthony L. (5/5)

Just get it

"Incredibly clear glass, defined reticle, and tank like construction. I love EoTech optics. The EXPS3-2 was a perfect fit on my duty rifle and was zeroed with just 6 rounds out of the box. The two dot reticle provides a ton of range for a very uncluttered sight picture. I was a little unsure at first but after I received the optic I’ll never go back. Can’t say enough about the quality and customer service from EoTech. Don’t hesitate."

— Cody R. (5/5)

Great product

"Great quality. Zeroing is easy and maintains zero. Awesome clarity."

— Branden S. (5/5)

The best close-quarters optics

"I’ve been using an EXPS 2-0 Green for my duty rifle for the better part of 4 years. I had such a great experience, I recently decided to try the EXPS 3-0. I love EOtech and believe it is the best close quarters optic available. The reticles and lack of parallax aide me in better accuracy and speed. The battery life is a non factor for me. I replace the battery about as often as everyone else(running red dots) on my team. I recommend this optic to everyone in LE."

— Nathaniel W. (5/5)

I have switched over from

"I have switched over from iron sights to red dots on all my pistols. My personal go to AR-15 has EOTech optics and now my department AR will be equipped with EOTech holographic sight system. . . This is almost a must upgrade depending on how the AR is deployed. . . Greatful and confident it will get the job done."

— John O. (5/5)

Good optic 👍

"Only thing I dislike is the battery life, but that comes with the holographic territory. I've seen a lot of people rag on the fact thst it has an "excessive" number of daytime brightness options at 20. I find that lets me really fine-tune the brightness to be absolutely perfect, and with the size, at some settings, it almost feels semi-transparent, which I found actually useful."

— Marc A. (4/5)

"Great as always, I paired it with a G33 magnifier."

— Eddie L. (5/5)

Optic Order

"Awesome customer service and always a great product!"

— MICHAEL Z. (5/5)

Just what I wanted and needed!

"Put this on my HK MR556 on a Unity mount. Got it beautifully zeroed in 9 rounds. Absolutely love the sight! Easily my favorite right next to a Comp M4S. The lack of parallax and vast range of adjustability in brightness really make this thing capable. I'm not gentle on my equipment but I don't abuse it. I have no reservations about the durability of this optic. A magnifier is in the near future. I've used other Eotechs and Aimpoints with various magnifier from Vortex, Primary Arms, G33, and G45. The Eotech really comes alive with the added magnification capabilities. If you're on the fence about getting one, don't hesitate. One of the most combat proven and toughest optics out there. Battery life is what it is but you should have spares in your grip, stock, pack, kit, or all the above!"
