The EOTECH HWS 558-A65 is a high-quality holographic sight with the One Dot Red Reticle aiming mark, which features an elevated and fast mount. Powered by popular AA batteries, it provides flexibility and reliability in all conditions. Despite its slightly larger size, it is still an excellent choice for a variety of rifles, PCCs and shotguns. EOTECH HWS 518-A65 also features 10 additional brightness settings for Gen I to III+ night vision devices.
The version with the most popular sight mark in the form of a 68 MOA ring with a 1 MOA dot, which provide three useful aiming points. The above aiming points are based on .223 cal. 62 gr. ammunition. 2,900 cal. When using other ammunition, the operator will need to determine the ranges associated with the aiming points.
EOTECH holographic sights represent the pinnacle of innovation in the field of sighting systems, providing users with incomparable tactical advantages. Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding users - from special units to shooting enthusiasts - these sights are distinguished by their ability to provide rapid target acquisition. The holographic image of the reticle, which appears to float directly on the target, allows shooters to get on target instantly, without the need to position the eye in a precise position. This feature is invaluable in rapidly changing tactical conditions, where every second matters.
Another key advantage of EOTECH rifle sights is their unparalleled accuracy and clarity of image, which enables precise aiming even at longer distances. Thanks to the use of advanced holographic technology, the reticle of the sight is easy to read, which greatly facilitates precise aiming. This, combined with unlimited depth of field, allows users to maintain full situational awareness while aiming with high precision, regardless of the distance to the target.
Durability and reliability that set EOTECH holographic sights apart from the competition. Built to withstand extreme conditions, they are resistant to shock, water and extreme temperatures. The rugged construction of these sights guarantees their long-term reliability in the most demanding environments. In addition, many models are adapted for use with night vision devices, extending their use to night operations and in conditions of limited visibility, ensuring effective and precise targeting.
In summary, EOTECH holographic sights offer a unique combination of speed, accuracy and versatility, making them indispensable tools for modern tactical operators. Their ability to enhance shooter effectiveness in a wide variety of combat scenarios, minimal parallax, quick adjustment and compatibility with night vision systems make them some of the most desirable sighting systems in the world.
The main features of EOTECH holographic sights:
- Unwavering Focus - Both reticle and target maintain constant, razor-sharp focus. HWS delivers an instantaneous, razor-sharp view of both reticle and target – unlike red dots. With HWS, the holographic reticle is perceived by the shooter to be on target, allowing the shooter to focus on both the target and the reticle at the same time. No more shifting back and forth, near to far or reticle to target.
- Field Of View - The HWS’s wide rectangular window heightens – not inhibits – peripheral vision. HWS encourages shooters to keep both eyes open, increasing speed-to-target acquisition and enhanced situational awareness thanks to the enlarged field of view.
- Ultimate Stealth - Non-reflective sight window and holographic reticle visible only to the operator. The HWS’s non-reflective sight window and holographic reticle are visible only to you, the shooter. Engineered for day or night combat missions, there are no mirrored or metal-coated surfaces to give away your position.
- Never Out Of The Fight - Even when the sight window is partially shattered or obscured, the HWS continues to function. Even when the sight window is partially shattered, obscured by snow or mud, HWS will keep on functioning and delivering pinpoint precision. One of the many reasons they’re trusted by America’s elite in the most extreme, hostile environments in the world.
- Own The Night - Night-vision-compatible technology provides a radically enhanced sighting system over traditional reflex sights with ultimate clarity even in complete darkness. Our Holographic Weapon Sights are equipped with night vision-compatible technology to allow operators to use a night vision device in conjunction with the HWS. Its multiple brightness settings are nearly undetectable and promote the ultimate in clarity in complete darkness.
- Reticles For All Platforms - Its large ring with precise aiming dot promotes much faster target acquisition than a single dot, especially under duress. EOTECH offers many types of reticle pattern as opposed to only a single dot. Some designs are fabricated to incorporate multiple trajectory points of aim and range assist features. This variety in reticle patterns to suit a variety of firearm applications.
- Battery Type
Choose between units that are powered by two different battery types.The models that use two AA batteries increase battery life and are more readily available. The models that use the CR123 lithium battery are more compact, taking up less rail space.
- Button Location - Depending on the model, buttons may be on the side or on the rear of the unit. If using an EOTECH magnifier with your HWS, buttons on the side make it easier to adjust brightness levels.
- Rail Mount - Choose between units that are cross bolt mounted (Hex or Thumb screw) or have a quick-detach lever. Either style mounts to a standard 1" Weaver or MIL-STD-1913 rail. Cross bolt models are absolute co-witness; throw level models are lower 1/3 co-witness.
- Night Vision - Choose between units that are either night vision-compatible or non-night vision-compatible. Night vision models have 10 additional brightness settings.
- Reticle Style - EOTECH offers a range of holographic reticle styles (the last digits within the HWS model number indicate the reticle style for that unit).
- Water Resistance Depending on the unit, EOTECH sights are water-resistant up to either 33 ft. (10m)or10ft.(3m).
- User-controlled auto shutdown (at 4 or 8 hours).
