Eotech 552 HWS XR308 Holographic Sight, Matte Black

The Eotech 552 Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS) with XR308 reticle is a night-vision-compatible holographic sight designed for use on Picatinny/Weaver rails. It provides a 1x sighting solution with an objective viewing window sized 1.20" x 0.85" and unlimited eye relief. The XR308 reticle was developed for machine-gun ballistic references and is noted for use with the military M240 and with .308 caliber ballistics using 150 gr M59 FMJ at approximately 2,800 fps from a 24.8" barrel. The sight includes daylight and dedicated night-vision settings and is powered by two 1.5V AA batteries (supports lithium, alkaline or rechargeable cells).
