If you can afford NV then you can afford another eotech
Right. Lol
That right ✅ 👏 👌 💯
Second this.
Even NV can be done for less than 1k now. I thought it was 3-4 for a pvs 14 BUUUIT building it and sourcing parts is way cheaper. If yall can MacGyver an AR you can build a pvs 14.
Big facts
I own an EOTech EXPS3-0, but only because I got it two years ago when Brownell’s had it on sale for $100 off (price was dropped from $670 to $570). I also had a discount that let me get another $58 off, so I paid only $512 altogether. The EXPS2 wasn’t on sale at the time for some reason. If not for the uniquely good price that i paid for my EXPS3, I probably would have just gone with the EXPS2, since I don’t own NODs and have no use for the NV settings.
Thank you very informative!💯
I own multiple EOTech EXPS3-0's and a single EXPS2-0. I got the EXPS2-0 before getting night vision. Now that I have it, I wouldn't buy an EXPS2 again. The EXPS2-0 is a great optic, but if you ever think you might be interested in getting night vision, I'd opt for the EXPS3 just in case.
I just got the EXPS3 a few months ago and love it. It goes on my BCM 14.5 “go to” rifle. I like the QD option because I switch back and forth between the EoTech and a LPVO depending on situation. As great as LPVO’s are, nothing beats a red dot or holographic within 50 yards for me. And I’m saving up for NVG’s.
Hell yeah ima get the NV cause I’ll some in the next decade or so lmao
lpvo with side mount red dot or no balls
Debating buying the Eotech right now and putting it on my BCM BFH 14.5!!
@@AnthonyD1986 they’re my favorite for everything but a home defense gun because of how the battery life works with holographic sights. I don’t want to have to fumble with turning with turning on my optic when I’m 1/2 asleep in my PJ’s
Same but 10.5" BRN-180s
Great job buddy 👍👍👍👍👍
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you can only get fde in the exps 3 and the green retical only in the exps 2.
I enjoyed the video.
I love how people trash a a vendor but give no reason why.
I am waiting for them to come out with the EXPS3 Green. Hope it is soon.
I have the EXP2 & I took to Las Vegas for training in September 2020 when it was 115 degrees F the sight drifted 3moa right at 100 yards. When the temperature was below 100 degrees F the sight zero normally at 100 yards so that was something I noticed about the EXP2 & possibly EXP3.
How old is your optic? In read that eotech fixed the thermal drift issues with their newer models.
@@Joe_Friday I got mine in November 2019 on a Black Friday sale.
There was insert with the documentation from EOTech that “under certain temperature conditions the zero may drift”.
Again I no problems my EXP2 with it other extreme high temperatures.
Euro optics has them. Got mine delivered today. Good pricing also!
The 3 is advertised as having an improved water proof rating, but I am highly skeptical that there would be any actual difference as far as seal material(s), any sealant compounds, whatever, during manufacturing.
It’s for military contract purposes, no difference
SHOULD BE (literally) NO difference whatsoever..
just ordered the XPS2 300BLK for a new AR pistol I purchased. Thinking about adding a 3x magnifier.
Have them both love them both. Can't go wrong with either one plus you get a lower 1/3 site picture with those models. Battery life isn't its strong point, but the 4K TV screen makes picking up that big ol Dounut of Death super quick and easy so it's well worth the trade off👍
Battery “life” isn’t even a part of it WHEN comparing the ESXPS-series with ANY RDS because it’s COMPLETELY DIFFERENT technology.
@@m118lrsettle down
@@m118lrthanks, genius. glad we have you here in the comment section
great video
Thank you sir
still trying to figure out why Eotech discontinued the XPS3 in green....
EOTech magnifier video please 3x and 5X and maybe some other options
What’s with the scratch / line after taking off laser sticker Seen on your black one? same on my new exps3 just kind of odd at 700$
I've had the EXPS3-0 for 3 years now. Built like a tank and would make the purchase again.
So far so good?
Great. Battery life the only thing that's a con.
@@Mrlebowski78 How much do you use it that you have change out batteries soo much?
I change mine out every 6 to 8 months. Go on Amazon and get 12 pack of surefire cr123 (all my lights take cr123) for $20. Did that 2 years ago, and still have 8 left
@@Mrlebowski78 so you turn it off? It only has a 600 hour steady on battery life.
Not to mention the EXPS3 is submersible for a longer period of time at greater depths
@euegne st0ner Sometimes on Friday night.
XPs 3 has night vision , is lighter and cheaper. Is the difference just in size?
The exps3 is listed 33ft water resistant and exps2 is 10ft so I’m assuming the exps3 model is more rugged? Thoughts ?
Nope, it’s for military contract requirements
So false advertising lol I’m confused
Bought night vision… picked up an exps3 with it lol I have a exps2 at home
I got 4 EXPS2, 3 red and one green, love em, i wish i could find a tan one for my MK18
I have astigmatism , what red dot can i get.. I have thousands and thousands of dollars worth of great red dots but i need something etched especially on my pistols
So I have an exps2, brand new inspected in mid 2021. It has a no cut out for the night vision button but it is there. Do you have the same thing going on?
I’d pay 100$ more for that sweet FDE, I bought a FDE SCAR 17s in December and was thinking about a FDE trijicon reflex but I think a green reticle in FDE will be perfect for that build! I love this rifle but I haven’t shot it yet due to my very limited supply of .308 I’d rather keep what I have in case of an emergency for now.
How can you Lovel the build you never shot because of ammo cost or lack there of?
I debated THIS, the ‘3’ model AND the ACOG for my SCAR 17. Went with the ACOG TA11. Difference being the want for reaching out to 300+ on our place. REALLY can’t go weong with either. I have an older (‘09) Eotech ‘553’ that has never given me ANY issues. I sent it BACK in for “warranty” work (even though it didn’t need it) when all that mess about them “losing their zeroing capabilities WHEN temperature variances were a question” (ie, cold/wet/warm, etc). They worked it REsealing the waterproofing electronics, etc. Can’t say they handles it right from the start BUT they DID try to make up for it on the back end. Least I was happy..
still hoping they add a shake awake at some point. Ive been running a holosun on my hd rifle because it has that
Never heard of shake awake
@@Joe_Friday basically it keeps the optic off till it detects any movement, makes battery life much longer. These Eotechs have a 3 month battery life vs my holosun which has a 5 year battery life
@@Joe_Friday yeah they are great I have a handful of the sig Romeo red dot sights and they are great I as well have one on my hd rifle I want a EOTech for my bug out rifle lol
Strait to the point, I like that.
I won a EBay bid and got a new XPS2-0 for $350. Pretty stoked.
Not gonna lie absolutely love the 1moa dot. But I can't get past how easy they are to lose zero when dropped. Maybe they fixed that? I don't know. But I've seen them fail some really minor tests that cheap dots like holosun survived.
I just got an EXPS2, took the outer shell off, and there i saw the NV button, no clue if it works, dont have a NVG...So anyone who has an EXPS2, take the covering off and see if NV button works
Just bought the exps2
Same.
For a 300 Blackout rifle, should I only buy the Eotech 300-BLK version and not the EXPS2 or EXPS3 (currently not planning to run night vision, or should I go that route for the future)? The reason I’m asking, I’m not sure if I will ever decide to run a G33 magnifier, or is that realistic for a 300 Blackout suppressed DD ISR rifle mostly intended for home security?
..personally, I would NEVER get an optic that, IF the option existed..didn’t have NV. Generally speaking, you never KNOW when YOUR circumstances may change, and UNLESS you know RIGHT NOW that you’ll never have that desire for NV, then you can’t go wrong with the upgrade to the NV model. IF you can afford the extra $ hit..NV.
think this would go good on a AR10 Smith and Wesson m&p10??
I just bought a rugar 8500 and want to find the best optic for it. Looking to spend no more than $500
All over ebay. Bought mine there
I'm surprised more companies aren't taking advantage of the solar panel idea. Sure would be nice if someone linked up with Goal Zero and created something solid. ....call it the apocalypse .dang I'm in the wrong line of work I should be in marketing
Then you need rechargeable batteries, and they don't last long compared to regular batteries. Also, you would need bigger panels to see significant benefits. That's why you don't really see solar panels on cars.
I have the Exps3 for 8 years now and they had a recall on them a few years back, mine has cracks all around the corners of the glass, still works tho.
How did those cracks get there?
Are they actual cracks or accumulated scratches over time?
@@nelsonr1467 its within the glass, the treated part of the glass, it has blemishes
@@aussieexpat its the treatment in the glass not the glass it self
Desalination?
i got the xps 2.2, no night vision, buttons on the back of the unit, the regular circle with "dog ears" 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, but 2 center dots, 1 slightly lower than the other, for quick ranging at 500 meters (so i was told)
exps2 is all i need
Is optis planet a reputable website for purchases? I hear mixed reviews
Yes
if you have IR laser on your gun, do you really need NV optic? it'll be hard to look through it with goggles no?
it’s pretty easy to aim with an optic under night vision. you just use a riser and place the optic a bit forward. if you’re just shooting steel targets and already have a laser you won’t need an NV optic but if you don’t it is much cheaper than spending $500-2k on a laser/illuminator setup. it’s mainly for when you want to aim without giving away your position to people who have night vision though
Why wont eotech make a shake and awake setting ?
Hell yeah!
🖖🏻🇫🇷😎🇫🇷😇🇫🇷🖖🏻
What is a good 1-6 Optics that you can refer 🤟🤟🤟
I wish someone would give examples of NV devices and prices. It would make a Huge difference for me.
Best,
Jim
I like the xps as my irons are dead center of view
That's called an "absolute co-witness".
Can you do a comparison or just type in a quick rundown of the difference between one of these and the 512. Just because these two are up over 500.00 and the 512 can be found for around 400.00. I know there is the battery difference but I would like a comparison by someone who has a lot of experience with different red dots and holographic sights. Night vision is not needed I know there are cheaper red dots and holographic sights but I’d like to have the reliability of an eotech unless you have another suggestion for a sight with a single pain like the Eotech. thanks for any help
If it's your first, get the 512
@@jsradler thanks. Why do you say for your first Eotech the 512 is the one I should get
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have used just about every optic out there from ACog Aimpoint Leaupold Lco all the way down to cheap sig Romeo 5 I like my EXPS3-0 bought my 9 year olds one to go on his 11.5 SDR but let me tell you the Vortex uh1 beats it’s ass I got my uh1 for $350 before people started to realize how good they are I have two but wish I would have bought 4 at that price now their the same price as Eotechs smh 🤦🏽♂️!
Yeah. Just getting into an AR. Checking out holos really puts your budget back in it's place. I like what I see about the UH1 though.
@@CarlPapa88 I know have 5 and 4 eotechs 😂
It looks so ridiculous with 6 different colors of tan….. who tfs idea was that…..eotech please at least ,make a solid fde option…
Contacted customer support to request service of an EOTECH holographic sight which became too dim to be useful. Was told company doesn't service these anymore, send it in and get a 50% discount on a new one... The whole idea of buying a high-quality optic piece is for it to serve for years to come. Nowhere on the product does it say "will become useless in about 5 years". From what I was told companies like Trijicon and Vortex handled these kind of situations much better by actually caring about their customer. I don't need a new sight, just help me fix the old one - is that so much to ask? Highly disappointed in the company that I always admired so much. Will probably sell my other EOTECHs before they "expire" too.
It didn’t just need a new battery? I don’t understand that, so it just started getting really dim and it became worthless after five years?
@@AnthonyD1986 the gas that's inside that makes laser work expired and they refused to service.
I went 518 cheaper easier to acquire batteries and it house the mount and buttons off to the side fir my g45 magnifier
3 for FDE
Who has a G45 for sale brother??
whats the most affordable night vision that you could use with this exps3 ?
Lowest I'd go is a Photonis Echo, but they're gen 2.
Not great in low light but still better than not having NV capability
Says cupon expired?
.
If you search around, there is only +/- $50 between the two. Get the EXPS3
Your discount code doesn’t work anymore.
I ordered mine straight from Eotech
Which is the best way to roll!!!!!
would anyone recommend an EXPS3 on an SP5K? or would too be too bulky?
What do you want to do with your SP5K? For home defence i would use a Holosun HE503. It is like a Aimpoint Micro with a 2MOA dot and a 65MOA donut. I have the Holosun for 3 years now on my pump shotgun and it is working 100% I have a Eotech EXPS3 on my 20" Ar15 with a Vortex Micro 3x magnifier it is a excelent optic but big and heavy.
Now real question do I get one dot 2 dot 3 dot or 4 dot
They gotta get that battery life fixed .. should be able to keep it on by now
EXPS2
👍👍
I love my Leupold LCO. Don't like the look of EOTech's.
I haven't found a reason to buy an optic that I cannot leave on at all times without having to worry about it dying for at least a couple of years. The 4,000 hours that you get from these might be good for range trips or if you really like buying batteries. Seems like a hassle, but maybe it's worth it to some people.
I leave mine on all the time, just replace the batteries every couple months.
or just dont have it on your dedicated need my gun in a flash seconds situation , prob unrealistic and never going to happen
@@brighthought11 Yeah, I was thinking about having it on my non home defense weapon, but then I was thinking, I don't need to pay for that durability and pure ruggedness for a range toy. Lol Maybe if I could get their reticle technology in something either less expensive or with comparable battery life to a red dot. If they could just put shake awake inside, I would definitely pick a couple up.
Holosun has a bunch of good options, I seem to have a varying astigmatism on different red dots.
i have a burris ff3 and a primary arms m20 that both seem to operate pretty good, especially when paired with irons co witness.
I had a vortex crossfire that i did not like at all, also looked through a mro and leupold dpp and was not impressed by either.
by 2x RMR's are good but i like my holosun 508t better
my eotech with 3x mini vortex magnifier is a great combo
for my rifles I have had elcans,acogs,lpvo,red dots and irons, etc
my favorite is an acog and backup red dot or offset red dot.
4000 hrs is almost half a year. If replacing batteries 2-4 times a year is too expensive you're buying the wrong batteries
@@Multi4204life My bigger concern would be working out some system of making sure the batteries are actually changed out before they are drained. I feel much more comfortable about red dots only changing them out every year or so. Less opportunities to get caught with your pants down.
Funny enough I was just searching about this today.
When you mean night vision. Using the glasses or just using it at night
Also EXPS2 is submersible to 10ft, whereas the EXPS3 is submersible to 33Ft.
Why would this even matter to the average civilian lol
@@Gio-nl7eg it wouldn't, but people like to know what they're buying.
@johnmcalister3620everyone is a Navy Seal!
I want one but I want longer battery life
Won't happen, sorry. Due to the tech, holographic sighs will have significantly short battery life than a dot.
If changing batteries 2-3 times a year (if you leave the sight on) is too expensive than I dont know how you could afford even a 20 rnd box of ammo!
I'm in I need a ar 10 lower for a person with a felony Convictions.
What do think about the Metprolight M21 ???
Have you ever had trouble zeroing this type of optic?
Check out vigilant Tac he’s ex cia and other stuff he explains the best way to zero a holo
Just bought a micro reflex for my shotgun to test and it is an Amazon special Feyachi
Are red dots really used anyway though with NVGs?
all the time
As more people get NVGs passive aiming is how you Conceal your self. Ir laser's are good but scream shoot me.
Unfortunately they don’t offer the exps3 with a green reticle so I guess I’ll just use a laser
kinda what I was thinking too. Plus I hate looking down sites with nods on. Its not the same and a quick button for IR laser isnt bad and its quick too.
@@WindyPine1131 I just wish they made the EXPS2-2 in green but they don’t
@@rednecksniper4715 I was looking for that exact thing today too. I was doing drills this weekend and the red dot I’ve ran for a while started to not hold its zero and was being very random so I’m looking to try something new out
you can find exps3 on sale for under 600
Bought mine used for 425 out the door
3 years ago used in tenn.
Coupon expired!!
Me watching this like I can afford it 😩
Can you 1/3 co-witness with either one with the mount or do you have to buy a different mount
You’ll need a separate mount but generally the mounts will change your life for the better 👍🏽
the QD mounts (pictured in video) are integral to the optic and are lower 1/3 co-witness
Those aren’t the only differences. I think the 3 is more water proof
This one goes to 11
TO ‘NV’…or NOT to NV? THAT’S the question…
Question:
Do you prefer the -0, -2, or -4
I just got the EXPS3-4 and I'm returning it because the 4 dots just blend into one line at 1X. With the 3x magnification it looks beautiful tho.
@@Yololololollol
Then you, like me, probably have an astigmatism.
That's the ONE drawback of EOTech. If you have vision problems, you need corrective lenses, or a magnifier to use it clearly.
Trust me, get your eyes checked.
-0
@@jupiterjunk yep I do have astigmatism! And I wear corrective lenses which help. But in doing a lot of research, pretty much everyone seems to agree that the - 4 reticle is not useful without a magnifier and I would agree now that I've been looking through it with and without magnification for 2 weeks. The astigmatism situation is weird, sometimes it's really fuzzy and sometimes it's really clear, but with magnification it's crispy clear! I'm returning this and I bought an EXPS2-0 which was the only thing I found in stock anywhere (black at least).
@@Yololololollol
WOW... that IS weird. I have an EXPS3-2. My astigmatism is worse in my right eye.
If I wear contacts, it's still fuzzy, but if I wear my glasses, it looks great, if I'm looking out of the middle of the lens. Not so much if I'm looking out of one of the upper region.
.
I'm sure someone put your -4 to good use, and you've got an EXPS2-0, so not ALL bad.
:)

I just bought an XPS1 because broke
You forgot the waterproofing. EXPS3 is 33 feet/10 meter submersible. The EXPS2 is submersible to 10 feet/3 meters. That's the biggest difference to me. .
Military contract requirement, no difference
EXPS3. I wouldn’t even consider a 2 myself

Eotech was awesome when I was in the military, and the government paid for it. Now that I'm a civilian, and paying for my own.....Vortex Huey UH1 is very comparable to Eotech. And way more cost friendly
Funny the exps3 is more expensive just because it does what the 2 was supposed to do...
99% who purchase EXPS will never us NV setting.
I think it’s comical they charge $100 more for nv button
But maybe, one day, I’ll get a PVS-14. And for like 50 bucks more I’ll just get the EXPS 3
Your code doesnt work at optics planet anymore
Man!! What happened to iron sights.
The average person doesn't need them. I out shoot my friends with all the gadgets all the time half the time they need battery's or need adjustment
....and waterproof difference. Please do your research before posting. 33ft with exps 3-0 vs 10ft with exps 2-0.
I got rid of my Eotechs and will not have another until Eotech gets a decent battery life, or a reliable shake-awake feature.
