EOTech HWS EXPS3 DCR Holographic Weapon Sight (Danger Close Reticle) - Tan - EXPS3-DCRTAN - UPC 672294601104
Product Description
The EOTech HWS EXPS3 DCR in Tan (EXPS3-DCRTAN) brings EOTech's innovative Danger Close Reticle (DCR) to their flagship night vision-compatible holographic platform in a severe-duty Tan hardcoat anodized finish. Purpose-built to solve height-over-bore point-of-aim versus point-of-impact (POA/POI) shifts during close-quarters encounters, the DCR modifies the classic 68 MOA "speed ring" by removing the top arch and incorporating a precise 7-yard aiming chevron at the bottom.
When zeroed with a standard 5.56 NATO/.223 rifle at 50 yards, the DCR offers three intuitive holdover solutions: the 1 MOA center dot handles 50/200-yard targets, while the bottom chevron instantly gives shooters a 7-yard "danger close" aiming solution without requiring mental calculations under stress. Housed in the battle-proven EXPS aluminum chassis, it features 20 daylight brightness settings alongside 10 night vision-compatible modes for seamless integration with Gen I–III+ NVGs.
Equipped with an integrated quick-detach (QD) lever mount, the EXPS3-DCRTAN provides a lower 1/3 co-witness sight picture over standard iron sights. Side-mounted control buttons allow easy operation when paired with an EOTech G33, G43, or G45 magnifier, while the side-loading CR123A battery compartment enables fast battery swaps without removing the optic or losing zero.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Direct fit for MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny and Weaver rail slots. Features an integrated quick-detach (QD) throw lever with adjustable locking tension. Sets optic height to lower 1/3 co-witness (~7mm raised base) above standard rail height.
- Verify the firearm is completely clear, safe, and unloaded before installation.
- Place the EXPS3-DCRTAN onto the upper receiver Picatinny rail, adjust the QD throw lever tension nut for a snug lockup, and clamp down firmly.
- Zero the 1 MOA center dot at 50 yards. The center dot will automatically correspond to 200 yards, while the bottom chevron serves as your dedicated 7-yard close-quarters holdover.
