EOTech has introduced the XPS sight model. As you can see from the photo, the sight runs on a single 123 battery and is the shortest sight they offer. Hopefully, this new configuration will also rectify past battery contact issues associated with previous models. Adoption of the 123 also means an average battery life (brightness level 12) of roughly 500-600 hours.
The compact size means more room for other accessories such as magnifiers or BUIS. Additionally, the battery cap and latch have been replaced with a simple O-ring with tethered cap and the entire battery compartment is now separated from the base to allow it to hang over the delta ring of the rifle.
EOTech offers three reticle options: 0- 65MOA circle with 1 MOA aiming dot, 1-single 1MOA aiming dot, 2-65MOA circle with two 1MOA aiming dots. The night vision compatible version of the sight features 10 night vision settings in addition to the 20 day/night settings found on the standard variant. Finally, the sight integrates a unique switch to allow the shooter to instantly drop the holographic reticle’s brightness to the NV mode of operation as well as toggle back and forth between the NV mode and the normal day/night operation.
Currently, the XPS line is only available in a Black anodized finish. For more information visit www.eotech-inc.com.
