I have the xps. It has the classic reticle with one dot. I wish it had more than one dot. I use it for coyote hunting and other things. For HD the single dot would be preferred.

I have the classic EXPS 3 - 0 and would recommend the Primary Arms magnifier on their QD FTS mount rather than the EOTech. With the money you save, you can buy an IR laser for your rifle and never have to bother to take your NOD off your helmet. Or worry about sweeping a loaded weapon over unknown areas in the dark trying to get the coyote lined up with the EOTech reticle. ID with the NOD, illuminate with the IR, shoot. |

For my eyes, the eotech reticles with more than one dot really blur together and dont look great. With a magnifier in place all the dots are fine tho. I recommend looking at both in person before spending your money...

See if you have a friend with a magnifier that you can give it a trial run. I wish I would have done this, for me I found that it was just to much bulk on the rifle. If this isn't possible, buy off the EE so you can hopefully get most of your $$ back if you find that it doesn't work for you either.

I've been using the EXPS 3-4 with an Eotech Gen 1 3x magnifier for 3 years now. I was using the 552 model for 5 years with the same magnifier. I went with this set up because I knew 80% of my shooting would be within 100 yds,but wanted to be able to shoot further is the occasion arose. The magnifier is great when used with the 3-4. I don't find it busy because I adjust the brightness level so I can see thru the dots.
Hopefully the pics show, first time uploading pics. The brightness is turned up so the camera would see it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8l8uSaFxdBmQmpheFJ5NjhrR3c/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8l8uSaFxdBmanJ5WFdZaEtCVDA/view?usp=sharing |

I like the EXPS 3-4 / EOTech 557 BDC reticle too but I know most folks don't like it since it seems busy. You can't use the BDC dots without magnification as it looks like a solid line at 1X. I also found the BDC didn't really match so I ended up having to do the math in my head anyway. A 200yd zero resulted in drops of 350, 450 and 550Y.
