ANN ARBOR, Mich. – EOTech, an L3 company, announced today that it has introduced two new holographic weapon sights (HWS), the XPS2 Green and EXPS2 Green, at the 2018 National Rifle Association’s (NRA) Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Dallas, Texas.
The XPS2 and EXPS2 sights have been favorites of hunters, shooters and law enforcement officers since their introduction in 2009. Now, with the addition of easy-to-see green reticles, which make it approximately six times easier to see in daylight, the XPS2 Green and EXPS2 Green provide users with faster target acquisition.
“EOTech’s new easy-to-see green reticles enhance our proven XPS2 and EXPS2 HWS, expand our portfolio and ensure that our products continue to meet the demands and expectations of our loyal customers,” said Ann Hanson, Chief Marketing Officer for EOTech. “We are excited to launch these new sights during this year’s NRA Annual Meetings, and look forward to seeing and hearing the response from the market.”
At just 3.8 inches in length and weighing a mere 9 ounces, the XPS2 is the shortest and lightest HWS offered by EOTech. It runs on a single 123 lithium battery, and its compact configuration leaves more rail space for rear iron sights or magnifiers.
The EXPS2 sight features easy-to-adjust side buttons and a quick-detach lever. Its increased height of 2.9 inches enables iron sight co-witness access in the lower third of the viewing window. Like the XPS2, the EXPS2 runs on a single 123 lithium battery.
The manufacturer’s suggested retail prices of the XPS2 Green and EXPS2 Green are $665 and $699, respectively. Read more
