EOTech Holographic Weapon Sights

EOTech holographic sights are built for fast, intuitive shooting with a true holographic heads-up display so you can stay target-focused with both eyes open. That’s why they’re a go-to on AR builds, SBRs, and duty rifles when you want quick target pickup without a tiny, cramped sight picture.

At Mounts Plus, you’ll find the EOTech HWS lineup including popular picks like the EXPS3, XPS2, HHS kits, and the 512, with magnifier-ready options mixed in.

Pick the right EOTech in about a minute

1) Do you need night vision compatibility?

Some models are NV compatible and include additional NV brightness settings, while others are daylight-only.

2) Battery choice: CR123 vs AA

If you want the most compact footprint and to free up rail space, CR123-powered models are a strong fit.
If you prefer easy-to-find power at any store, the classic AA-powered options are the move.

3) Are you running a magnifier?

Button placement matters. Side buttons are ideal when you’re pairing with a magnifier, because your controls stay easy to reach. Rear buttons are great if you want quick adjustments with minimal movement.

4) Mount style and co-witness height

Quick detach mounts use a locking throw lever and are usually paired with lower 1/3 co-witness. Cross-bolt mounts attach with a hex head cross-bolt and typically sit at absolute co-witness height.

Series breakdown: what each line does best

EXPS Series

If you want side buttons + quick detach + a setup that plays nicely with magnifiers, EXPS models are built around that concept. Many shooters like EXPS as the “magnifier-friendly” family because controls stay accessible.

XPS Series

XPS models are the compact CR123 option designed to save rail space. If you’re trying to keep the rifle shorter and cleaner, this is usually where you land.

AA-powered classics

If you want AA batteries and a straightforward mount setup, the AA models are the dependable “set it and forget it” direction.

HHS kits (HWS + magnifier packages)

If you already know you want magnification on tap, the HHS line is built as a paired system that transitions between 1× and magnified use without turning your rifle into a science project.

Reticles, explained without the fluff

Most people recognize the classic “ring + dot,” but there are a few common patterns depending on model:

• 0 reticle: the standard ring + 1 MOA dot setup

• 1 reticle: dot-only option for a cleaner sight picture

• 2 reticle: two-dot pattern for extra reference points

• 4 reticle: multi-dot ballistic-style pattern (best appreciated with magnification)

• DCR: ring with a top cutout and bottom chevron for close work plus distance reference

FAQ

What’s the difference between EXPS and XPS?

EXPS is typically chosen for side controls and quick detach mounting. XPS is the compact option that saves rail space.

Should I choose side buttons or rear buttons?

Side buttons are the move if you’re pairing with a magnifier. Rear buttons are great if you want quick adjustments without shifting your position much.

What does “lower 1/3 co-witness” mean?

It means your iron sights sit in the lower portion of the optic window instead of centered, giving you a cleaner sight picture while keeping irons usable.

CR123 vs AA: which battery setup should I buy?

CR123 is the compact, rail-space-saving choice. AA is the “batteries anywhere” choice.

Do EOTech holographic sights work with magnifiers?

Yes, and pairing a magnifier is a common reason people choose side-button models.

What’s the difference between the 0, 1, 2, and 4 reticles?

0 is ring + dot, 1 is dot-only, 2 adds a second dot, and 4 adds multiple dots for additional reference points.

What does MOA mean on these reticles?

MOA is an angular measurement that helps describe how large the dot or ring appears at distance. Practically, smaller dots help with precision and bigger rings help with fast pickup.
