EOTech 557 AR223 Specifications

The new 557.AR223 has been developed to optimize the functionality of the HWS. The buttons have been moved from the back to the left side for instant access, allowing a magnifier, night vision, or a back up iron sight to fit closely to the HWS body. This new button position allows the user to operate the HWS function switches easier than ever before. Additionally, a portion of the front base has been raised to allow the sight to fit over standard hand guards found on many M-4 or M-16 style weapons.

The 557.AR223 is configured with a new ballistic matching reticule image for the M4 carbine. The battle tested circle/dot reticule will be offered along with a series of 1 MOA aiming dots that are vertically aligned and calibrated specifically for the ballistic drop of .223 caliber ammunition. The reticule provides 4 aiming dots for target distances of 0-300m, 400m, 500m, and 600m.

EOTech 557 AR223 Reticule

The most two most important things to remember when using the EOTech HWS optics are as follows:

EOTech 557 AR223 Reticle

  • Focus on the target and not the reticule - Failure to do so will make you think that the optic is defective when in fact its not.
  • Use the lowest setting possible to keep the reticule from blooming and becoming unusable
