The EOTech 558 holographic weapon sight with a 68 MOA ring and 1 MOA dot (EOTech part no. 558.A65) is the AA-powered member of the HWS family. The maker says it works seamlessly with all Gen I through III night vision devices, and its adjustable, locking quick-detach mount allows fast installation and removal. The reticle gives three aiming points calibrated for .223 Cal. 62 Gr. at 2,900 fps, and with shotguns the ring approximates shot patterns. It runs on lithium, alkaline or rechargeable AA cells, a practical choice when AAs are easy to resupply. It is built in the USA for shooters who want a night vision capable sight with a long battery run time.
