Will the Eotech EXPS3-0 -- or any Eotech holographic site -- hold up to the abuse of a Desert Eagle 50AE?

Never tried using it with a 50AE such as the Desert Eagle but have used them on 30.06 rifles as well as 12-gauge shotguns with magnum loads and those weren't a problem. I would not think the 50AE would be a problem but have no personal experience to back up that assumption.

I'm not familiar with the recoil of that weapon system but it works fine on a Benelli M4 while shooting 3" Magnum slugs.

Yes it will. I have had my in my 300 win mag and ar 15. It is by far my favorite optic to use

Good question. EXPS is solid and can definitely take some abuse. On the other hand, a 50 has tremendous recoil + the factor that it would be mounted on the slide. I think my EXPS would hold up but I don't think I would risk such an expensive item on a guess. My best advise is to contact EOTech technical support. They are very knowledgeable and would be better suited to answer this question.

I've had one mounted on a .300 wsm and a .270 win. No problems on either. With the way you're question is worded sounds you may have issues with the mounting system. If so, i strongly advise leupold rings and bases for any scope. But as far as the quality of the dusk & dawn, it's one of my favorites. Seems superior to other banners (imo) and holds its own compared to my nikons. No regrets on my purchase. Gathers light very well when you need it most.

I can't say for sure but I have heard a few people saw they had the same scope on a 50 cal and it seemed to do just fine. I can say that the scope is built like a tank and should handle the recoil just fine . I hope this helps .

Assuming the 3/8" dovetail mount, you should be very happy with this scope. I can't speak to it's weather proofing, but I haven't experienced any problems with mine. A very clear image with a decent range of adjustments. The eye relief is generous allowing for a nice range of scope placement options. For the proce, it is a good airgun scope. I've used mine at both .177 cal and .22 cal with stable solid performance.

Personally I would not get this unit, the mounting is flawed, tends to work loose, while firing, and will not return to zero after remounting. The glass itself is OK, but sub par. The laser is old technology that eats way to much battery life. You will end up just throwing it away or using on your airsoft gun which it would be fine for.

This EOtech model like many holographic sites Short answer no. I suggest you read on. The EOtech 512 like most holographic sites has no telescopic characteristics. If your vision is natural or corrected it should not change the way you naturally look down this site. If you add any magnification optic to your site and you have a dominant eye with a different focal point from the weak eye, you will need to close one eye when shooting.

Yes. You can get the next version of it with drop compensation as well. I prefer this reticle/optic for close to mid range engagements but if you wish to engage past 300 meters get the one with drop comp

It is not a true holographic sight like an eotech. ..where the image is created between 2 thin panes of glass. The sight mark is a red dot still where a beam is projected on the glass. It is a good red dot for the price though.

Yes. It is light years above the other cheapies. I've used it for over a year now. It's durable, clear optics, user friendly. It also looks solid. Just buy it.

Mine has held up pretty well. It is pretty easy to zero, and functions as advertised. I have mine on a spring pellet rifle, and nothing has gone wrong on the inside of the scope, (a not uncommon problem). Like many reviews say, the reticle is kind of fat, but not a big deal. If you are not using it in a tactical or competition environment, I highly recommend it.

Hi Randall,Amazon forwarded your question to me because I purchased this same cover for my AR rig with the EXPS3 and 3x magnifier. The answer is YES. This cover works quite well for that combo. It fits nice and snug, but not too tight to be stretched to the max. I'd recommend it to help protect your sight investment.Peace-Out,Brad

As long as you have a rail on your slide it will work. Check out the daniel defense m4 torture test on YouTube. They blow up and drop one out of a helicopter with an aimpoint optic on it.

I hope so. I have it fastened around part of my shotgun to easily activate the camera. I am hunting in No. Penna. for turkey and the weather has been very wet. So far so good. As for the camera, mounted upside down on my forward barrel, this is my second returned first several components failed and really good experience with people in Quebec getting a free replacement. Second camera failing similar to first. Cant download to TV. This is their first generation and cheaply built with many flaws. Anything beyond 25 yds. is unacceptably indecernable as a hunting video on any game.They indicated an advanced version is due out June !st with zoom and what improvements I am not sure. I will try and negotiate the return of my current replacement and pay an upgrade once I see what they have improved. Camera is supposed to transmit pictures correctly on TV even with mine being mounted upside down on the barrel of my turkey gun. It did at first but now all is upside down when played back. Initial camera charging port broke loose and dropped inside the body,thus unusable. The start stop button also failed in a similar manner. Like my current one the original HDMI port is broken and pushed inside the housing. This all happened simply while learning to use the camera. Remote needs to be able to start the camera as well as then turning it on and off. And the new model due out must allow The zoom function to be controlled remotely also Not sure how you will know how much zoom you actually activate. Basically I don't have much hope for X-Cels product unless they make substantial improvements. I am willing to give it a try if it does become much more costly and they make a much sturdier product with features a hunter needs.

I've used one for years and it is extremely durable. I've been hand loading 7.62 and using this scope for years and I've never had an issue. It has been used in the field for decades under horrible conditions and has a great track record. I haven't used it personally w .338 win. mag., but I've done some things to this scope I'd be embarrassed to put into writing and it has always kept zero and functioned correctly.

It'll work. Its a nice scope. Zero in at 50ft. And the detachable scope mounting is great. You'll enjoy it.

Is it worth $75? Quality-wise, I would say "yes". Is it absolutely necessary? I would say "no". I did put one on a Colt build as a "happy-to-glad" upgrade, but only after I upgraded the flash-hider, added an EOTech XPS3 and GripPod, and snagged some extra PMags. If you no other real upgrades you want to do, and you have the disposable coin, you definitely won't regret buying this part. Looks pretty cool, to boot, and functions very well, also.

No I would not get another until they improve the design the reticle is no longer working on my ksg. The size is not really an obstacle. If anything it gives you a great field of view but the durability of the electronics need to be seriously improved. If so I would replace my EOtechs with these. The display has much more clarity. The durability is the only thing I do not like about this optic don't mount in on a 12 gauge it will break.
