Overview
Built for shooters who want a compact holographic sight without giving up flexibility, this model is designed to work with night vision and still leave room on the rail for rear iron sights, magnifiers, or a night-vision mount. It runs on a single CR123 lithium battery and mounts to 1" Weaver or MIL-STD-1913 rails, making it a practical fit for streamlined rifle setups. The sight offers 20 daylight brightness settings plus 10 additional settings for Gen I through III+ night vision devices, along with 0.5 MOA windage and elevation adjustment. At 9.0 oz, it keeps the footprint minimal for hunters and outdoor users who value a low-profile optic setup.

Pros
- Shortest and lightest night vision-compatible HWS in the XPS3 line
- Single CR123 lithium battery helps free up additional rail space
- Compact 3.8 x 2.1 x 2.5 inch footprint suits streamlined setups

- Includes 20 daylight settings plus 10 night-vision settings

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Uses a single CR123 battery, so power management depends on keeping that cell on hand for extended use.
- The compact footprint leaves more rail space, but that also means the sight itself offers less physical presence on the rifle than larger HWS models.
- Night-vision compatibility and 20 daylight settings add flexibility, though the feature set may be more than needed for users who only run a simple daylight setup.
- Designed for 1" Weaver or MIL-STD-1913 rails, so fit is limited to those mounting standards.
