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>DCR™</strong> image

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.

<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

Best unit out there.

"Replacing an older unit and love the smaller rail use. Absolutely the best unit I have so far and this is number 3. Being full time law enforcement, I have to use units I can rely on to work in any situation and environment and this unit is it!!! I also have dual aiming dots that really help with distance."

Michael L. (5/5)

Great Experience and Sight!

"Great service! My sight arrived quickly and was immediately good to go out of the box. It was even pretty close to being sighted in once I had it on my LC Carbine 45. The dot is much easier for me to see correctly since it doesn’t mess with my astigmatism like most red dots."

BryanL (5/5)

This thing is built solid

"This thing is built solid and performs flawlessly. The ease of aligning the site picture on target and adjusting to a quick zero, was a great start to using it right away first day on the range. The accuracy of shot placement is understandable, why EOTECH has the reputation they do. My only regret is I did not buy this sooner!"

Richard F. (5/5)

Perfect 300 Blackout Solution
