This Eotech EXPS 3-0 has served me extremely well for the last few months. People really complain about the battery life. For me and my uses it hasnt skipped a beat just yet.

Yea, love mine on a house gun. Yes I know if battery dies unit is useless. I have other things in case. Do wish the reticle was etched and fiber optic backup
USA made optics over floptics homie….
I have many red dots, some budget, some high quality. What advantages a holographic optic would bring to the table to justify its larger frame and higher price compared with a good red red dot?
Running along a perfectly good review of a beautiful optic, and you gotta go bringing up these dire times, it's Sunday morning man, I'm drinking my coffee. Now I gotta go pick up recyclables to get an eotech 😂
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news…. but eotech has just as much forward emitting energy as basically any other red dot
been waiting for this one
your thoughts on bushnell match pro 5×30 vs. arken 7×35 if. you have to shoot a mile.
I had to visit the doctor because my pew pew stopped working…
I have two older 552 style that run AA batteries. I fell in love with them on my first tour in Iraq 07-09. Built like a truck and just works.
I’ve since upgraded to the EXPS 3-4 and love it. Smaller footprint and a bit lighter.
Don’t sleep on the 552s. I have them on “loaner/SHTF” setups that take Surefire AA scout lights. AA batteries are easy to come by and I’ve not had a single issue running Eneloop rechargeables in them. Admittedly shorter battery life, but for simplicity, cheap, and ease of use, that setup is hard to beat.
Just hand your buddy the rifle, a few mags and a handful of AAs and he’s ready to guard the chicken coop from coyotes for several weeks. 😂
Wish you still had the UH-1 with you, would have liked to see your input and comparison between the two holographic sights on the market!
I have a 512 and G33 magnifier it's my favorite! I love Eotech, I will be getting XPS series soon, I also have a Aimpoint comp4, sig romeos and cheap crimson trace, Bushnell, vortex ,etc. FOLKS save your money and buy one and you'll never want anything else but a Eotech on your rifle, their that good, I don't need night vision because I haven't won the lottery yet, im just a average Joe, that's slowly upgrading my equipment, ❤ Thanks for video it's awesome as always ✌️
Who carries a quarter around with them?
Have one with their 3x magnifier, took it out to 500yds on 10×10 steel. That's as much I can ask it to do, and I'm quite happy with it
Hey C_does, how do I send you a message? I was Google searching some scope reviews and landed on a site, but the guy was using your images and linked to your video. I didn't see any credit to you.
The 512c-GD has 2 NV settings.
There is also a 2-1/3-1, which is the single 1moa dot without the donut.
I bought my one and only EOTech around a decade ago. Still have it on my main rifle. It uses the annoying N batteries. I wish EOTech would offer a refit kit to change it over to AA batteries. I got it for $425. I cannot afford another so this was my one and only, unfortunately. I have to remove the batteries between uses because there is a parasitic battery drain that will leave my batteries dead after a couple weeks of no use.
I rock an EXPS 3-0 and have for the last few years. I shoot in a weekly shooting league with a bunch of great shooters and they all use magnified optics. I keep pace with them with just the EOTech. Rifle stars at 50 yards, low probability hits, whatever the challenge, I can at least keep pace with the Razors and Strike Sagles and Vudus with just a dot.
I believe in EOTech supremacy. It helps that they’re a home state brand too. #PureMichigan
Got the EXPS3-0 Tan, love it for it's purpose.
For Batterie Life: just shut it off or on and change batteries. What do you think does the military do in the field with them?
Battlehawk Armory has all the Eotech models and most are under 6 donuts. This one is on sale now. If they show a box saying (click for email price) DO IT. Follow their instructions and you’ll get one brand new at a price lower than you have ever seen (Eotech dealers are only allowed to publicly advertise their approved prices)
I did just that and got my Black Exps3.0 for $549. It was my dream optic for many years and finally got it.
Can we get a review of the Sig 8t ?
The only people who shit on eotechs are people who don't have/actually use one…
I have two exp3 and one xps3, thanks for the validation. Never heard of the refresh rate problem, it is totally smooth when in motion and I have experienced dots that make me sea-sick.
I did not realize that the Eotech doesn’t emit light out front. That is a big plus in a worst case scenario. I do wish it had shake-awake.
This or Sig Romeo8T?
checking out the UAP'S?
CDoes, what was you looking at in the sky with your night vision? was that a UFO flying around, and can you see them with night vision?
I love my eotechs 🙂
"A holographic sight uses some black magic fuckery…" 😂😂😂😂😂
I had 1913 fitment issues and they said my model is discontinued so here is "trade up" 50% off their "gear store." I'd rather run a Primary Arms Prism.
I think German #4 reticle is much more recognizable. Give me the money 😉
BEST OF THE BEST DOTS EVER MADE.. WISH I COULD AFFORD MORE OF THEM
Battery life is the main drawback on these
The grainy of the reticle really fucks with me. Guess ny eyes are just shit lol.
Do you notice a difference magnifying this compared to a red dot?
I fucked up and ordered the tan 3-1 instead of the 3-0. Fucking hate it
Wish the elevation/windage adjustments on mine weren't so mushy and had actual clicks, but there set and forget.
Correction for the part where you said, "No, EOTech does not have an auto-off function" at 8:40
They do have an auto-off function! They will stay on for either 4 or 8 hours depending on whether the up or down buttons were pressed to turn it on. This is the same for both the EXPS2 and EXPS3
This is directly form the manual:
• If the sight is turned on by pressing the UP button, it will automatically shut itself
OFF 8 hours after the last pushbutton control is used.
• If the sight is turned on by pressing the DOWN button, it will automatically shut
OFF after 4 hours
I'm guessing you meant to say they don't have an auto-ON function since they don't have anything like Holosun's ShakeAwake; you can only turn them on by pressing the buttons.
I have 2 EXPS sights. They are simply the best “active” sight, where as long as you use it who cares about battery life. It may weigh more than a T2 but the glass is perfectly clear and by far the best of any scope or sight. I use it for matches like you do. It is unbelievable when paired with their 3x magnifier.
I really want you to do the Leupold Mark4 HD 6-24!!! You have the best optic videos
Personally I prefer the multi dot versions
I have exactly the same EXPS3-0. It died after only 50 rounds of shooting – around 3 working hours. It was replaced but I think I trust the Vortex UH-1 more.
It has an auto-off function: 8 hours when you turn on the red-dot from the up button, 4 hours when you turn it on from the down button.
