Rifle scope review blog post 9
I’ve been playing with a scope from Eotech for about a week now and I have to say the possibilities are endless for this new little site. It’s the Eotech XPS2-0, and it’s a neat little optic. The XPS2 is smaller than other Eotech scopes, making it a better fit if you have less space, like on a handgun, short barrel rifle, or an aug style rifle. I talked to a gentleman on Tuesday about the very problem of mounting an Eotech site on a microtech 556. He went with this site because it fit the rail and can use either the large bolt for hand tightening or a smaller allen headed screw if the larger screw would be obtrusive. This was true for the gentleman with the microtech 556, he was left handed and the larger scope and the large bolt hindered efficient operation. This is a neat little scope that has all the features of the larger Eotech sites without the weight and size. The only draw back to this little site is that it runs on one CR123 battery, which cuts its battery life to 600 hours, which is still a lot but not compared to the battery life of the larger sites. The site comes in three configurations; the Eotech xps2-0 with a 65 moa ring and 1moa dot, Eotech xps2-1 with a single moa dot, and the Eotech xps2-2 with a 65 moa ring and two 1moa dots. This would be a good site for any firearm that you need fast target acquisition and a small rugged site. That’s the word from sportoptics.com
