The new EOTech 557 is a big advance in magnifier optics . The left oriented flip to side mounting system makes operating the new EOTech 557 AR223 a breeze. Since the buttons have been moved from the back to the left side for instant access, you can now mount a magnifier, night vision, or a back up iron sight.

This new raised rail system grants better control of the function switches. 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 reticle image for the M4 carbine. The battle tested circle/dot reticle 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 reticle provides 4 aiming dots for target distances of 0-300m, 400m, 500m, and 600m.

The buttons on the left side work with additional night vision systems .
The system is compatible with Gen I-IV Night Vision Systems for tandem operation from its raised 7mm base.

In general, the 557 AR223 Magnifier is a great addition to your M16/ M4 style .223 system.
