Battery life in both an Aimpojnt and EOtech are good. If you are going to put your life in something that is supposed to have X for battery remember it is an electronic put together by a fallible person. You should always at a minimum check all your battery powered gera once a month regardless if an item has a battery life of a millenia. You check batteries on flash lights why would you not check the battery on a defense tool. I check all my RDS even the cheap ones, I check my tac lights, lasers, flash lights.

Get the one without the E, if you want full co-witness if you do want QD GGG&G makes nice QD that goes on the XPS, I would actually recommend it, the thumb screw will work loose even on AR.
All these sights are designed to be used with both eyes open.
I have tried Eotech and a Aimpoint.
For me, I close my eye when I look down a tube. The Eotech is much more natural
With the $60 rebate I got a 512 for $310 from sportoptocs.com.
I am looking for an Aimpoint. Maybe I just need to get used to it.

I promise I am not a bad influence
Dad's Christmas present from me last year .
Nice. What Loopie is that? American defense recon mount?
To the OP, try an aimpoint and eotech and see what works best for you. I prefer an aimpoint for my vision. My comp m2 has the original battery from 10 years ago. The eotechs have a built in mount which is nice, but the reticle looks like a bunch of squirming dots to me.
I have 4 EXPS 3.0's and three G33 magnifiers behind them. The transverse battery fixed whatever issues were left with the 500 series sights. Mine hold zero even after being removed several times. I agrre the QD mount is nice but not necesaary unless you need to move sights frequently. If you are even remotely thinking about a magnifier, get the model with side mounted buttons.
The single battery models claim a 600 hour battery life. Good enough IMO when you consider the great Eotech reticle and FOV.
Optics are really a subjective choice. Best to try them out first before buying.

I prefer EOTech sights.
I prefer the X models on rifles with F-marked front sight posts so the sight blocks less vision.
I prefer the standard model on rifles with low-profile gas blocks.

The EXPS is GTG. It's rare to hear much bad about the EXPS series. Highly recommended, and arguably the best Eotech HWS out there right now.

EXPS2-0, QD, 7mm riser, 1/3 CW, side buttons, adj. intensity, auto shut-off, readily available batteries - and easy to see thru if you need to use flip-up BUIS. Very happy with it - except the price!

Great input. Thanks.
Just ordered the EXPS2-0 from Sportsmans Guide. Joined the buyer's club for $29.99, got the Eotech for $424.00, shipped, before Eotech's mail-in $60.00 rebate; final cost $364.00 to the door (buyer's club membership to be amortized over next year's purchases -- OK, they hooked me). Should'a bought 2. lol. But I did get a Plano 42" tactical case at the same time for $63.00 shipped.
PS Aimpoint Pro remains on the wish list, and the Leupold VX-R Patrol, too.

I think it's a one-shot deal to get you to join. I think I even declined joining on the first screen, and it came back at me with a bigger discount and I bit on it. Should'a bought more.

I just picked up a brand new 552 A.65 in the local classifieds for $150. He was a military guy that didn't get his lower before the ban.
They snuck it in the T's and C's of the rebate form.
