We’ve gotten in a limited quantity of the EOT-517.A65/1 L-3 EOTech 517 A65 Holographic Weapon Sight in stock…
The new 517.A65 has been developed to optimize the functionality of the HWS. The buttons have been moved from the back to the left side for instant access, allowing a magnifier or a back up iron sight to fit closely to the HWS body. This new button position allows the user to operate the HWS function switches easier than ever before. 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
Our EOtech representative is not sure if this model is going to continue to be made, or if the ones we’ve gotten are all that are going to be available to us. Regardless, if you are using magnifiers with your EOTech, this is definitely the one you want to buy… less expensive than the 557 (no night-vision option driving the price up), takes commonly available AA batteries, 7mm rise at the front to position it far forward over standard rail systems, and the standard EOTech “donut of death” 65 / 1 MOA reticle.
Standard retail is $469.99, our price is $450
