EOTECH XPS3-DCR 1x Holographic Sight, 68 MOA Ring/1 MOA Dot, NV, Black

EOTECH XPS3-DCR 1x Holographic Sight

The EOTECH XPS3-DCR is a compact 1x holographic sight configured with the red Danger Close Reticle, or DCR. Its sight picture combines a 68 MOA outer ring with a precise 1 MOA center dot, giving the shooter a prominent close-range reference without giving up a refined central aiming point. This exact matte-black variant is night-vision compatible, uses rear-mounted controls, and is identified by manufacturer SKU XPS3-DCR and UPC 672294601197.

The XPS3-DCR uses the shorter, lighter XPS3 housing rather than the raised EXPS3 configuration. It measures 3.8 x 2.1 x 2.5 inches, weighs 9.0 ounces, and attaches to a compatible 1-inch Weaver or MIL-STD-1913 rail with a cross-bolt. The compact footprint preserves useful rail space for a rear sight, magnifier, or compatible night-vision equipment while keeping the sight close to the rail.

Equip a compatible rifle or carbine with the correct XPS3-DCR configuration. Confirm rail fit, control clearance, and the intended reticle before purchasing this specialized EOTECH holographic sight at BattleHawk Armory.

Danger Close Reticle with Fast and Precise References

The DCR gives the familiar EOTECH ring-and-dot layout a specialized close-range structure. The 68 MOA ring has an open section at the top and an easy-to-locate chevron at the bottom, while the 1 MOA center dot provides a fine aiming reference. The large ring draws the eye quickly during close or rapidly changing engagements, and the center dot supports more deliberate placement when the target or distance demands additional precision.

When the optic is zeroed on a .223 or 5.56 rifle at 50 yards, the DCR layout provides reference points for engagements out to approximately 200 yards and a close-range solution near 7 yards at the lower chevron point. Those references are not a substitute for confirming actual point of impact. Ammunition velocity, projectile weight, barrel length, mounting height, atmospheric conditions, and the individual firearm can all change the relationship between the reticle and the target.

Rear Controls and Compact XPS3 Architecture

The XPS3-DCR places its control buttons at the rear of the housing. This layout keeps the sides of the optic clean and maintains the compact XPS3 profile. When the sight is used with a magnifier or another rear-mounted accessory, leave enough space to operate the buttons and confirm that the arrangement does not interfere with a folding rear sight or night-vision mount.

A fixed cross-bolt secures the sight to a compatible 1-inch Weaver or MIL-STD-1913 rail. This is not the raised quick-detach lever base used on the EXPS3 family. The lower XPS3 arrangement is useful for buyers who want minimum rail height, reduced weight, and a holographic sight in a streamlined package. Seat the cross-bolt fully in the selected rail slot and follow the installation and torque guidance supplied with the optic.

Night-Vision-Compatible Brightness Range

The EOTECH XPS3-DCR provides 20 daylight brightness settings and 10 additional settings for Gen I through Gen III+ night-vision devices. This broad range allows the reticle to be adjusted for bright outdoor use, indoor training, reduced ambient light, or a compatible night-vision configuration. The dedicated low-output settings help prevent the reticle from overwhelming night-vision equipment when the optic is set up correctly.

Night-vision compatibility describes the illumination range of the sight. A night-vision device, helmet or weapon mount, magnifier, riser, and other supporting components are not included. Confirm optical alignment, eye position, accessory clearance, and the requirements of the night-vision system before use.

1x Holographic Sight Picture and 0.5 MOA Adjustments

The XPS3-DCR uses holographic technology to present the reticle in the viewing window. Its 1x format supports a both-eyes-open shooting posture, allowing the user to maintain awareness around the target while bringing the DCR into the line of sight. This makes the optic well suited to defensive carbines, duty-oriented rifles, professional training systems, and other platforms where fast target transitions and an uncluttered field of view are priorities.

Windage and elevation adjust in 0.5 MOA increments per click. After installation, zero the optic with the exact firearm and ammunition that will be used, then verify the zero at both close and extended distances. Recheck mounting security and point of impact after hard use, maintenance, or any change to the rail, mount, ammunition, or supporting accessories.

Single-Battery Power and Rugged Operating Range

One CR123A lithium battery powers the XPS3-DCR. The XPS3 platform is rated for up to 1,000 continuous hours at nominal brightness setting 12 at room temperature. Actual runtime varies with brightness level, temperature, battery quality, storage conditions, and operating pattern, so a mission-ready setup should include a battery replacement schedule appropriate to the application.

The sight is water resistant to a depth of 33 feet and has an operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 140 degrees F. Its matte-black finish, compact dimensions, and 9.0-ounce weight support a durable rifle setup without adding the mass or height of a raised quick-detach base. The XPS3 platform is made in the USA.

Is the XPS3-DCR night-vision compatible?

Yes. The optic has 20 daylight settings and 10 additional settings for Gen I through Gen III+ night-vision devices. Night-vision equipment is not included.

Where are the controls located?

The XPS3-DCR uses rear-mounted buttons. Leave sufficient operating space if a magnifier, rear sight, or night-vision component will be positioned directly behind the optic.
