I own an EOTech EXPS3-0, but only because I got it two years ago when Brownell’s had it on sale for $100 off (price was dropped from $670 to $570). I also had a discount that let me get another $58 off, so I paid only $512 altogether. The EXPS2 wasn’t on sale at the time for some reason. If not for the uniquely good price that i paid for my EXPS3, I probably would have just gone with the EXPS2, since I don’t own NODs and have no use for the NV settings.

Big facts

I own multiple EOTech EXPS3-0's and a single EXPS2-0. I got the EXPS2-0 before getting night vision. Now that I have it, I wouldn't buy an EXPS2 again. The EXPS2-0 is a great optic, but if you ever think you might be interested in getting night vision, I'd opt for the EXPS3 just in case.

I just got the EXPS3 a few months ago and love it. It goes on my BCM 14.5 “go to” rifle. I like the QD option because I switch back and forth between the EoTech and a LPVO depending on situation. As great as LPVO’s are, nothing beats a red dot or holographic within 50 yards for me. And I’m saving up for NVG’s.

I have an older (‘09) Eotech ‘553’ that has never given me ANY issues. I sent it BACK in for “warranty” work (even though it didn’t need it) when all that mess about them “losing their zeroing capabilities WHEN temperature variances were a question” (ie, cold/wet/warm, etc). They worked it REsealing the waterproofing electronics, etc. Can’t say they handles it right from the start BUT they DID try to make up for it on the back end. Least I was happy..

Not gonna lie absolutely love the 1moa dot. But I can't get past how easy they are to lose zero when dropped. Maybe they fixed that? I don't know. But I've seen them fail some really minor tests that cheap dots like holosun survived.

it’s pretty easy to aim with an optic under night vision. you just use a riser and place the optic a bit forward. if you’re just shooting steel targets and already have a laser you won’t need an NV optic but if you don’t it is much cheaper than spending $500-2k on a laser/illuminator setup. it’s mainly for when you want to aim without giving away your position to people who have night vision though

Can you do a comparison or just type in a quick rundown of the difference between one of these and the 512. Just because these two are up over 500.00 and the 512 can be found for around 400.00. I know there is the battery difference but I would like a comparison by someone who has a lot of experience with different red dots and holographic sights.

Contacted customer support to request service of an EOTECH holographic sight which became too dim to be useful. Was told company doesn't service these anymore, send it in and get a 50% discount on a new one... The whole idea of buying a high-quality optic piece is for it to serve for years to come. Nowhere on the product does it say "will become useless in about 5 years". From what I was told companies like Trijicon and Vortex handled these kind of situations much better by actually caring about their customer. I don't need a new sight, just help me fix the old one - is that so much to ask? Highly disappointed in the company that I always admired so much. Will probably sell my other EOTECHs before they "expire" too.
