The Model 516 is destined to become the most popular HWS in use. It is a deviation from the Model 557 and offers the battle tested 65 MOA. circle/ 1 MOA. dot reticle. Its side button operation offers quick brightness adjustments and it is powered by the ever popular Lithium batteries. The mounting base has been designed to clear the delta ring space needed for mounting. Utilizing only 3.2 inches of rail space, the Model 516 requires less rail than the small N cell Battery HWS units. This is ideal for use with magnification or night vision and preserves adequate rail space for a rear back up iron sight.
The EOTECH EOTECH 516 TACTICAL STD CR123 LITH is the economical solution that sacrifices very little. The EOTECH 516 TACTICAL STD CR123 LITH Sight includes many of the bells and whistles the holo sight is known for. The unit is perfect for agencies that want the best in Close Quarters Battle (CQB) speed and versatility, without the need for Night Vision compatibility. The EOTECH 516.A65/1 is the 1st electro-optic sighting system to apply holographic technology to small and medium-sized weapon platforms. When used in Close Quarters Battle (CQB) environments, this revolutionary weapon optic delivers amazing speed and accuracy gains, uncompromising use of peripheral vision, leaves no muzzle-side optical signature and is packaged in a compact, durable unit. Now deployed with elite Special Forces and SWAT teams the world over, the EOTech Holo Sights deliver vastly improved shooting performance for all levels of operators.
The EOTECH 516.A65/1 Holo Weapon Sight mounts to any universal Picatinny mounting rail (supports standard Weaver dovetail) with an integral mounting platform for adaptation to user preferred eye relief. This EOTech Holo Sight can interface to any standard issue M16 or M4 variant in either a fixed carry handle or flattop receiver, and with no modifications to the weapon. The M16 and M4 mounting platforms provide for the functionally critical aspect of co-witnessing the iron sights within the HWS's Heads Up Display while maintaining the operator's critical check weld position.
