I’ve been working on a tactical shotgun build, I have just put a picatinny rail on it, and I originally thought about putting a burris red dot on it, but for just a little bit more I could put a small EOTech on it. In my research I have come across the EOTech XPS2 series which would be perfect. There are three different models, the XPS2-0, XPS2-1, and XPS2-2. And from what I have been able to gather there isn’t anything different between the 3 of them. I was wondering if you knew the difference between them if there is any.
It it dawned on me last night. The XPS2 as a series has three reticle options. But each one in the series only has one reticle. XPS2-0 is the 65MOA circle with 1MOA dot, XPS2-1 1MOA dot, XPS2-2 has the 65MOA circle and two 1MOA dots. But the confusing part is, in everyone of the descriptions of each of the three of these, EOTech says it has 3 reticle options… so you would think that it had 3 reticle options… but thats for the series not each individual sight, even though it says it in each description. EOTech is just confusing the hell out of me.
Ive actually been waiting for the new EoTech XPS I like the smaller/ lighter design and from what I hear better battery compartment design. I also like the fact that you can get one with a second bdc dot as an option.
But on a shotgun, bullet drop compensation isn’t much of a worry… and on my AR, I like to practice self bullet drop compensation, that way its muscle memory to aim a little higher, or lower depending if you are further or closer to the point of aim point of impact.
I’m a fan of the single 1MOA red dot. Whether thats an Aimpoint or an EOTech… the real problem I am having is, is it worth all the extra dough for an aimpoint micro w/mount, or would the XPS get the job done as well as the aimpoint. You dont have to buy a mount either, unless you want QD, but Im not so concerned about that.
