Eotech XPS Review

[Turtle]

Here she is.....
Weighing out at only 8.0 oz and taking up only 2 3/4 inches of rail space this new Eotech XPS sight simply ROCKS! Its battery rides on its side so those loose battery springs of the old Eotech sights are a thing of the past. And with 600 HRS of battery life on only one CR123 and an 8 hr built in shut off timer this thing was meant for the long haul. Thats 75 8hr guard shifts or 25 days of constant "ON" time. This Lil guy comes with its own build on mount and a quick release screw option. The mount works great and locks tight. This model unlike the other new models still have the buttons on the back but I don't really see this being an issue as the shortened size should leave plenty of finger room. This thing is built solid. The finish is great except for the battery cap. Yeah I already scratched it. The battery cap is a different finish and well disappointed me just a Lil bit. But the overall design and overall ruggedness is "A+" Now I just need to get her to the range for a workout. Thanks for reading my review I hope you enjoyed it.

How did you attach the bacon to your rifle? Did you need special rings and clamps?

This thread is making me hungry for some odd reason.

Good thing you didn't shoot the bacon, some on here would be in tears!

What is that thing in front of it?

What is that thing in front of it?

Not sure what your refering to? the battery or maybe the bacon?

The picture of the Eotech on top of your rifle, then there is something like a little scope in front of it lower than the Eotech window. Just wonder what that is for over there?

It's a weapon light.

Yep. Upside-down Streamlight TLR-1.

Okay, that makes more sense than a scope that what I thought it was. Thanks.

If EOTech could just figure out how to get YEARS and not DAYS out of a battery, how to be able to leave the sight turned on 24/7...........they would be killer.

Agree 100%. If they could offer hour-for-hour battery life of the Aimpoint, I would've been hard-pressed to not pick up an EOTech XPS.
