RECOIL has partnered with EOTECH to give one lucky reader a game-changing optic—the brand-new EXPS3-DCR TAN Holographic Weapon Sight.

For those who demand uncompromising speed, accuracy, and reliability, the EXPS3 has long been EOTECH’s most popular model. Now, with the Danger Close Reticle (DCR), shooters gain an edge in fast, close-range engagements while still maintaining long-range precision.

Why This Optic Stands Out

• Danger Close Reticle (DCR): A refined modification of the iconic “speed ring” circle/dot, featuring a chevron point of aim for 7-yard engagements, while still maintaining 50- and 200-yard solutions with a .223/5.56 zero.
• True Two-Eyes-Open Shooting: Rapid target acquisition without sacrificing awareness.
• Night Vision Compatible: Includes (10) dedicated NV settings, plus (20) daytime brightness levels.
• Compact & Rugged: Built in the EXPS form factor with a quick-detach base for lower 1/3 co-witness, side-mounted controls, and compatibility with magnifiers and NV devices.
• Made in the USA: Every optic exceeds EOTECH’s exacting standards—because in danger-close scenarios, compromise isn’t an option.

How to Enter

• The contest begins September 30th, 2025 and ends October 8th, 2025.
• One winner will be chosen at random to receive the EXPS3-DCR TAN.
• Your first entry is simple: submit your email and subscribe to RECOIL and EOTECH’s newsletters.
• Earn additional entries by visiting or following the sponsors on social media, or referring friends.

This is your chance to own a professional-grade optic trusted by law enforcement, special operations, and serious civilian shooters. Don’t miss it.
