Overview

The EOTech EXPS3 represents the pinnacle of holographic weapon sight technology, combining the company's legendary quick-acquisition reticle with night vision compatibility and professional-grade construction. Unlike traditional red dots that project an LED onto the lens, EOTech's true holographic technology creates a reticle suspended in the target plane, eliminating parallax and providing unlimited eye relief—even when shooting from unconventional positions.

The iconic 68 MOA ring with 1 MOA center dot enables instant target acquisition at close quarters while the small center dot provides precision for longer engagements. The ring also serves as a ranging tool: when a human-sized target fills the ring from top to bottom, that target is at approximately 100 yards. With 20 daylight brightness settings and 10 night vision compatible settings, the EXPS3 performs in any lighting condition. The side-mounted buttons and shorter profile accommodate magnifiers and flip-to-side mounts perfectly.

Submersible to 33 feet and rated for extreme temperatures, the EXPS3 features a quick-detach lever mount for tool-free installation and return-to-zero capability. The transversely mounted CR123 battery provides approximately 1,000 hours of runtime and can be replaced without removing the sight. Built in the USA, every EXPS3 undergoes rigorous testing to meet military specifications. For operators requiring the fastest possible target acquisition and night vision capability, the EXPS3 remains the professional's choice.
