EOTech 517.A65 Holographic Sight
Made in the USA, this weapons sight was developed to optimize EOTech's proprietary Holographic Weapon Sight technology. Control buttons have been moved from the back to the left side of the unit for instant access, while allowing for mounting of a magnifier or back-up iron sight. Additionally, a portion of the front base has been raised to allow the sight to fit over standard hand guards found on many M-4 or M-16 style weapons.SpecificationsOperationParallax-free transmission holography optics1X magnificationUnlimited eye reliefMeasures 2.1 by 2.8 by 5.6 inches (W x H x D)11.9-ounce weight-40 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit operating temperatureSubmersible to 10 feet underwaterFog-proof internal optics0.5-inch at 100 yards MOA adjustment+/- MOA travel adjustment rangeOne-inch Picatinny railHeads-up Display WindowAnti-glare optical surface coatingWindow measures 1.2 by 0.85 inches (W x H)0.125-inch solid glass front window0.1875-inch, shatter-resistant laminate rear window30-yard field of view at 100 yards at four-inch eye reliefElectrical146,000:1 brightness adjustment rangePowered by two 1.5-volt AA batteries1,000 continuous hours of use at nominal setting 12 with lithium batteries; 600 hours with alkaline20 brightness settings, with scrolling featureFlashing auto battery check indicator at start-upAuto-shutdownWarrantyEOTech products include a limited two-year manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.About EOTechEOTech is a subsidiary of L-3 Communications, the sixth largest defense company in the United States, and a leading defense contractor in ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance), secure communications, government services, training and simulation, and aircraft modernization and maintenance. L-3 Communications is also a leading merchant supplier of guidance and navigation products and systems, sensors, scanners, data links, propulsion systems, avionics, electro optics, satellite communications, encryption products, signal intelligence, antennas, and microwave products.L-3 EOTech uses advanced laser and holographic technology to enhance optical devices in target acquisition systems, recreational sport optics, and sighted automation environments, and the company invented, designed, and manufactures the Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS), the world's first holographic sighting system for small- and medium-sized weapon platforms. HWS uses patented technology to provide remarkably durable, parallax-free sighting. HWS additionally removes some of the complexities from targeting, and allows the aiming process to become almost instinctive and reflexive.After winning the "Optic of the Year Award" from the Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence, EOTech later introduced their military and law enforcement HWS in 2001. Since then, HWS has been standardized by US Special Operations Command (SOCOM), FBI, DEA, State Department, US Border Patrol, Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), NYPD, LAPD, Texas State Police, and many international special operations forces.
