The EOTech 516 Law Enforcement and Military Holographic Red Dot Sight has the same features as the 556, except for the lack of night vision capability. Its small size requires only 3.2" of rail space, which makes it ideal for those who prefer to have space for back-up iron sights. The side button operation allows the user to make fast adjustments to brightness. This sight is ideal for mounting on tactical rifles. The 516 HWS is perfect to use with an EOTech magnifier.
The 516.A65 red dot sight features a 7 mm raised base to allow the co-witnessing of back-up iron sights. It is secured to the Picatinny rail with a knurled cross bolt that requires no tools. The front of the EOTech 516 HWS is cantilevered to avoid the Delta ring of AR-15 and M4 rifles and carbines. It is equipped with a 65 MOA circle aiming pattern with a central 1 MOA dot. The circle allows fast target acquisition and shot placement, and the dot enables precision as far out as the target can be identified.
The EOTech 516 A65 Holographic Weapon Sight w/ 1 MOA Reticle is the economical solution that sacrifices very little. It includes many of the bells and whistles the Eotech HWS (Holographic Weapon Sight) is known for. Its smaller, lighter design is perfect for tactical environments, hunting game, or knocking down targets at a more affordable price. The EOTech 516 A65 Holographic Weapon Sight is the ideal all purpose optic for law enforcement applications, especially when partnered with an EOTech magnifier. This EOTech 516 A65 Holographic Hunting Sight w/ 1 MOA Reticle operates on the same CR123 lithium batteries commonly utilized by the leading gear manufacturers. When it matters most, the combination of speed, versatility and extended battery life will make you an unstoppable force.
This scope is used, and is Grade A- / B+ or high grade. Glass shows no scratches, new Surefire CR123 batteries included, and red dot tested. Some minor wear visible on the black hood, and signs of use on the knurled bolt (not fully black anymore) otherwise pretty close to new condition. Charlie's is a conservative grader, and you will notice from our feedback of used and demo products that customers are surprised at the condition.
