EOTech makes some of the best optics available, and their prices reflect that. This thing holds a zero like it was welded in place, has a HUGE field of view, adjustable brightness, and is built rough as nails. One drawback is that the reticle startup brightness is a little too bright even for normal daylight operation, but this is a minor quibble. Coupled with EOTech’s G33 (3X) magnifier and 7mm riser, you have a formidable, ultra-fast acquisition setup good for a couple hundred yards. Some may prefer more magnification, but I need fast tactical targeting at closer ranges – beyond a couple hundred yards I’d use a different rifle. Overall HIGHLY recommended.

I was a little skeptical to purchase this product since I had read some of the reviews that it was counter fit. I still went ahead and purchased it due to the fact that Amazon’s return policy is easy and stress free. I ordered the product December 19, 2019 and received it on December 21, 2019. I was actually expecting the product at a later date and time. The product is indeed an EOTECH and thus is as advertised. The box that it comes in looks like a small gun-box, so they already had me on presentation and the product works absolutely fine. I am waiting on my DDM4 V7 Pro to come in, so I haven’t shot with this product so maybe later I’ll provide pictures and an update. Lastly, I was easily able to register both products on EOTECH’s website. Highly recommend using this seller for purchase of this product.

This item is hard for me to compare to a RDS. While they offer similar features and usually fill the same role, they are completely different technologies. If you compare (which I have) to any Aimpoint or Trijicon RDS they both suffer from the same shortcomings of any EDS, regardless of price: reflections, sun-burst effect and poor performance going from indoors to outdoors (or vice-versa). Whereas this EOTech by fact of being a ‘holographic’ sight does not suffer from any of those things. So again even though they serve similar functions, they are comparing apples to oranges in terms of tech. That having been said, this sight is fantastic. Tack-sharp dot and circle. Going from indoors-to-outdoors (and back) and back doesn’t affect target sight, add reflections or red light rave party inside the sight. Holds zero extremely well. I’ve taken it off, clean the gun, put sight back on and it was just as zero as it was before. The night vision capabilities are cool, unfortunately I don’t have a NV kit of my own so I only have limited experience with a friend’s. In all I highly recommend this sight; however, if you’re ordering from amazon make sure you look up how to spot fakes because amazon is known to send the first box available in their inventory which might be the real deal or a cheap knockoff.

As many others have stated, carefully inspect your sight and packaging to ensure you don’t have a knockoff. I got a genuine product on the first go-round, so I don’t have any experience with customer service.
I’ve been impressed with the sight so far. Only concern would be the battery compartment is plastic, but for its credit, it’s not chintzy ABS.
Sight picture projection is extremely bright even on medium settings compared to the other LED red dots I own. I had to tighten up the quick release bolt to have a snug fit on m rail, but otherwise installed without issue.

I didn’t. I pulled the trigger first and then after seeing all of the negative reviews regarding this sight being a clone or a “knockoff” I got a seriously bad feeling due to the amount cheddar you have to fork over for these. So, I took a deep breath and I contacted the seller “Natural Green Products”. They responded in a timely manner and assured me that they are an authorized Eotech dealer and this was a genuine 100% authentic made in the USA Eotech. And it is. I feel like I dodged a bullet. (see what I did there?) From the serial# on the device matching the # on the case, to the warranty card, quick start guide, date of manufacture sticker (Ann Arbor MI) and a sweet Eotech decal, all the way down to the yellow “hey nimrod! Don’t stare at the bright laser” sticker. It all came in a new custom cut foam padded Eotech hard-case made by Flambeau. (Which is also an American company). The full user manual can be downloaded via Eotech’s website in .pdf format. Enough can’t be said about these sights. They are rugged and built for every day professional use in the field. They had some QC issues a while back (check the internet for a time frame) but that has all been resolved. It’s an Eotech, you can’t go wrong. Kudos to the seller for doing honest business. It’s an admirable quality to have in today’s world of scam-ridden ecommerce. Now this is Amazon, so I can only speak the truth about this particular product (Eotech EXPS3-2) and this particular SELLER. Do your research and you won’t get burned.

I purchased this for a deployment after my issue M-68 (Aimpoint sight) was missing a screw that apparently no one can find a replacement for. I decided to get this for the deployment and was not disappointed in the least. The housing easily survives the rugged bumps and bruises of getting in and out of vehicles and worse than that my privates have decided they wanted to play with it some too and see what it was all about. For those that don’t know, military grade equipment undergoes testing for the most hostile environments. Then we hand that equipment to privates and it is broken within minutes.
The first thing I tested was the parallax for this sight, which is basically how accurate the sight is while not maintaining the same body position and eye position. As expected, if the dot is on the target you are getting a hit. As winter has set in, I am testing its ability to maintain a zero in varying temperatures. Unlike some previous reporting, it seems this issue was solved since discovery a few years ago. The brightness settings and NV settings work perfectly. The sight goes from barely visible to blindingly bright with its 20 settings. The NV has 10 setting levels and they are equally impressive. Although the battery life is not the insane hours of the Aimpoints, I never had problems. Also the unit warns you if the battery is low.
This sight allows you to use your backup iron sights with a lower third co-witness. I also paired this sight with the Vortex VMX-3T flip magnifier. This took the sight to the next level. The ability to have either 1x magnification or instantly change to 3x magnification is amazing. And the magnification makes having a 1 MOA dot even more important.
Pros:
Durability – survived the hands of Army privates
Brightness settings for almost any ambient light
AMAZING Parallax with almost no drift between shooting positions
Cons:
Expensive but if my life could depend on it why not (also check for mail in rebates)

This was exactly what i had ordered and i had full confidence as it was provided from ukrguns
No worries about nock off equipment that others have experienced.
This is a authentic EO Tech Nv and operates with the expected quality that there name has come to represent.
I received it in a timely manner in the project time allotted
This is a great optic and 100% satisfies my needs and expectations for my shooting platform.
you will have no regrets if this is the optic you have chosen for your weapon.
The Lost Texan –
Saw some of the reviews and it kinda freaked me out at first, but after looking mine over and checking everything, I can say I got a real EOTech. It came in the correct lockable box, correct EOTech markings/stickers, correct color (black), Holographic sight is fuzzy (it’s supposed to be/fake LED wouldn’t be), correct sight design, NV is correct (doesn’t change to green like a fake) (also actually checked with PVS-14’s), had correct internals (according to EOTech website/fake check list).
Now about my thoughts on the sight. I used one down range back before we knew about the thermal drift, always hit my target and loved everything about that one except for the “N” battery and the locations of the controls. I stayed away from EOTech after the news of the thermal drift came out. BUT now (crossing fingers!) they have fixed the issues or caused them to be very minimal. This new one (EXPS3) feels much (width) larger, but it could just be me. I love the side buttons, always hated trying to turn my old one on with the BUIS in the way. the reticle on the EXPS3-2 is a nice update with the 50/200 yards dot and 500 yard dot. So far I’m very pleased with it and it may have restored my faith with EOTech once again, only range time will tell…

G33と一緒に購入。注文から2日ほどで届きました。内容はハードケースの中に商品保護のスポンジ、EXPS3-0、CR123A、説明書などが3枚です。レティクルはシャープで見やすく良かったです。NVモードは1.5世代NVGで覗いてみたらほぼ光量8段目ぐらいにしたら見えました。HK416Dに付けてますがとてもイケメンになりました。
追記
冬ごろに調整して夏頃に覗いたらレティクルがずれてました(←でEOTechがアメリカ政府より訴えられてました)。

I absolutely love the optic. It took a while for it to arrive. The first seller actually fell through, but Amazon worked with me and made it happen.

Legitimate EoTech EXPS3-0.
Performs as you would expect an EoTech to perform. Great optic.
