EOTech XPS2-2 — Compact Holographic Sight with 2-Dot Ballistic Reticle
Overview
The EOTech XPS2-2 carries the ultra-compact chassis of the famous XPS2 — 96.5 mm long, 255 g, EOTech's shortest and lightest HWS — but integrates a specific 68 MOA + 1 MOA + 2 ballistic dots reticle. The result: 4 usable aiming points for engaging targets quickly at close, medium AND long range without changing optics or adding a magnifier.
The 2-Dot reticle is calibrated for the US military reference caliber: .223 Remington / 5.56 NATO, 62-grain projectile, 2,900 fps velocity (typical of 14.5-16" AR-15 barrels). The center dot handles standard zero (typically 50/200 yards), and the 2 secondary dots below the center dot compensate for bullet drop at extended ranges — allowing engagement out to roughly 500 meters without mental hold-over.
This configuration specifically targets the AR-15 shooter in 5.56 NATO who wants short / medium / long-range versatility on a single 1x optic, without the weight or complexity of a magnifier or LPVO. Ideal for dynamic sport shooting on long-range stages, patrol rifle training, or 3-Gun competition where agility is paramount.

Key Benefits
- Unique EOTech 2-Dot ballistic reticle: 4 usable aiming points on a single 1x optic — engage close, medium AND long-range targets (out to ~500 m) without a magnifier or mental hold-over calculation.
- .223 / 5.56 NATO 62 gr calibration: perfectly suited to AR-15 platforms with 14.5-16" barrels — the reference caliber for patrol rifle and modern sport carbine shooting.
- The shortest EOTech HWS: at 96.5 mm long and just 255 g, it frees maximum rail space — perfect for magnifier or BUIS combos.
- 68 MOA enclosure ring: preserves all the acquisition speed of the classic EOTech reticle for short engagements and CQB.
- True holographic technology: not an LED red dot — genuine EOTech holographic projection, clear and bright sight picture even with a partially obscured window.
- CR123 battery life: 1,000 continuous hours on a single CR123 lithium cell.
- Tool-less cross-bolt mount: hand-tightened, quick installation on any Weaver 1" or Picatinny MIL-STD-1913 rail.
- Compatible with EOTech G33/G43 magnifiers: for shooters who also want optical precision at 300-500 m with 3x magnification.
- EOTech ruggedness: CNC-machined aluminum housing, -40°C to +60°C operational range, 3 m water-resistant.
- 10-year warranty: EOTech manufacturer commitment with recognized after-sales support.
Use Cases & Context
- Long-range sport shooting with 5.56 rifles: engage 50 to 500 m on a single 1x optic without slowing down at close range. Ideal for 3-Gun stages with distant targets.
- Patrol rifle / service carbine training: AR-15 platform in .223/5.56 — the 62 gr @ 2,900 fps calibration matches reference M855/M193 loadings.
- Tactical shooting and CQB: the 68 MOA ring keeps all its acquisition speed for close engagements.
- 3-Gun competition: rare versatility — a single 1x sight that handles close targets AND 300-500 m engagements without optic switching.
- Sport hunting for small game / predators at mid range: the 2 secondary dots ease engagement of distant targets without magnification.
- Optional magnifier combo: paired with EOTech G33 or G43, you get a 1x/3x flip-to-side configuration that fully exploits the reticle's ballistic holds.
- Short AND standard AR-15 rifles: MK18, DDM4 V7, DDM4 V7 K, 10.3-16" platforms — calibration remains optimal on 14.5-16" barrels.
- Recreation and collection: rare and differentiating reticle variant in the EOTech ecosystem.
