Eotechs with Two Dot Reticles?

I’m considering setting up a rifle with an Eotech Exps and a magnifier. I figured I’d just go with a single dot model since I’m used to that with my other Eotechs. However, the two dot model has me interested since while I understand it’s not much of a holdover, it does give you a point of reference when shooting at further distances.

My only problem is I can’t look at one locally, so I am unable to see if I find the two-dot reticle to be too cluttered (as some people have stated). Have people found the two-dot setup to be of any advantage or is the standard one dot reticle preferred even with a magnifier?

I’ve known a couple people who got the 2 dot version, and both complained afterwards that they wish they had not. They ended up not liking the 2nd dot there

I have both styles and honestly, I don’t even notice the bottom dot. I don’t use it, for that matter, either but I don’t find it more cluttered.

I’ve got the 557 with the four dots. I wish I’d have gotten the 556 or waited and got one of the EXPS models. The multiple dots are worthless without the magnifier, they just look like a fuzzy line and I can’t make them out. Even with a magnifier it is pointless because the magnifier is only 3x. If you are shooting out to 600 yards with an AR15 you probably should have at least a 3-9x scope. No, in my opinion red dots and HWS’s don’t need BDCs.

Eotech EXPS3-0 and you will be happy in the end.

I looked at both versions when I bought my current Eotech. Granted I didn’t get to actually use both of them before buying, but I didn’t like the two dot model at all. I went with the EXPS3-0 and am very happy with it.

Very happy with the EXPS2-0. Didn’t feel the 2nd dot was necessary and I’m glad I opted for the single dot.

That is the route I decided to go.

I’ve looked through the 3 (or was it 4?) dot version, and all my eye could pick up was a single line below the main dot. This went away when using a magnifier (chalk it up to slight astigmatism).

I just don’t see a need. The single dot configuration works fine for every use I can think of with a RDS.

This is my experience as well. I bought the two dot version quite by accident and was really angry until I got to use it. That said, I prefer the single dot for its simplicity.

11

I have used both the EXPS2-0 and EXPS2-2 and prefer the single dot. I also have used both with a G33 magnifier and once again prefer the single dot.

I had both. My RRA had the XPS2-2 and my 6920 had the XPS2-0. Like others have stated, if you need the second dot you need a scope. I have since sold the XPS2-2 in favor of a T1. The XPS2-0 is now on the RRA and T1 on a LT660 is on the 6920.

I just picked up a G33 magnifier to use with either, but it is behind the T1 right now.

I don’t care for the 2 dots either. I really like the new generation of Eotech sights, very well made.

Has anyone tried the 300 blackout model with the two dots? Looking to get some opinions on it. Wondering if it works well or is unnecessary as some mention above.
