Best Features:
The EOTECH HWS 512 is a popular choice for a red dot sight, and for good reason. Here are some of its best features:
- Fast target acquisition: The holographic reticle with a 68 MOA ring and a 1 MOA center dot allows for quick and easy target pickup, especially on close-quarter engagements.
- Both-eyes-open shooting: Unlike iron sights where you need to close one eye to aim, the EOTECH HWS 512 allows you to use both eyes open for better situational awareness.
- Durable construction: Built for tough conditions, the HWS 512 is water resistant and comes with a 10-year warranty from EOTECH.
- AA battery powered: AA batteries are readily available and easy to replace, which is a plus compared to some sights that use proprietary batteries.
- Multiple brightness settings: With 20 brightness settings, you can adjust the reticle to match any lighting condition, from low light to bright sunlight.
