Reliable and holographic but… - EOTech OPMOD EXPS2 Holographic Reflex Red Dot Sight

Last year i spluged and bought 2 top shelf optics, leupold LCO, and Steiner DRS. Those two are premiums by all means. I have had the reolica xps3 and decided to buy tye real deal and see what the hype was all about. Got the xps2 because i dont need the night vision feature.

I would have to say i was not impressed or unimpressed after using it. It does everything my replica does and less. Less the dual color red green changability. Which isnt much. Granted the real deal is made with much better quality and will withstand much more than just 22lr. But it desnt save last light setting and for tye money that should be a standard feature. Its an old technology that many premiums seems to leave out for some reason.

The sight picture is better than the replica but my astigmatism isnt in agreement with it all the time. And the holographics claim seemed like a gimick to me. I understand the laser projects yhe image to a diferent sighy plane than the red dot replica. But when i compared them side by side, the advantages of the real one seemed marginal to me. Probably because I'm still a beginner and don't know what I'm looking at. But after sighting in i shoot abiut the same maybe a lil better than when using the replica.

Do i recommend this over the ither two LCO or DRS i own? Depends… because the only advantage this has over the ither two is its holographic and that feature isn't all thats its cracked up to be imo. So its up to user to see if this woi)d be a good fit.dont take my word or someone elses claims. I got this for a really good price on OP so i'll keep it cuz its the only holo sight i have. I'll probably check out holosuns later this year and see if which is better and keep the winner.

One last thing i wanted to point out is the XPS has the worst warranty clause of the 3 premiums i own. The other two are basicalky lifetime worry free types of warranty. While EOtech has a limited 10year. So keep that in the back of your head when you decide. 10yesrs… c'mon eotech get with the times, your competition has you beat on warranty.
