HWS® PERFORMANCE CHARACTERITICS
FOR MOST MODELS
RETICLE OPTIONS
EOTECH’s unique reticle patterns are a critical to delivering fast target acquisition and MOA accuracy at any range. EOTECH reticles feature a 68 MOA ring surrounding a 1 MOA center dot, allowing the shooter to quickly pick up and lock on a target.
 |
Our most popular reticle offered, the 68 MOA ring with 1 MOA dot provides three usable aiming points. The aiming points are based on the following load: .223 cal. 62 gr. 2,900 vel. When using other loads and calibers, the operator will have to establish the ranges associated with the aiming points. When using a shotgun, the 68 MOA ring can be used to represent shot patterns but will vary based on choke and shell selection. For ordering this reticle, the model codes will end in -0. |
 |
Our two-dot reticle pattern can be easily distinguished with or without magnification and offers the benefit of an additional long-range, aiming dot. The aiming points are based on the following load: .223 cal. 62 gr. 2,900 vel. For ordering this reticle, the model codes will end in -2. |
RANGE ESTIMATION WITH UNMAGNIFIED HWS
The standard ring found in most reticles equates to approximately 68" (5'8") at 100 yards.
BRIGHTNESS OPTIONS
The 518™ HWS offers multiple brightness settings with both Standard and Night Vision modes offering quick adjustability to accommodate any shooting situation.
VERSATILITY WITH OTHER WEAPON PLATFORMS
With its advanced holographic technology, the HWS-2-dot reticle solves a number of fire control issues for a host of applications and weapon platforms.
