i've heard the xps2-2 is calibrated for 5.56 or 223 will this be correct on a ps90. or is another model number better suited for the ps90? thanks guys!
I am no expert on the subject, but I don't think it matters. Optics have to calibrated or zeroed after they are installed on a weapon. It's not possible to do this before to my limited knowledge. Unless this info you came across had to do with the amount of recoil the optic could handle, such as up to a 5.56/.223 round. If that is what was meant then the PS90 is fine, just no 50 cal. I haven't looked at the xps too much and don't know too much about it (as I have a eotech 511 for mine). It appears to be a mini-me version, so it should be no different than any other eotech. If these had been available, I might have gotten one 2 years ago as I like the idea of a 123 baterry versus the N ones.
Some of the Eotechs have ballistic drop compensated reticle calibrated for either 5.56 or 7.62 ammunition.
Not sure about the model you are refering to though.

I think he's asking what ammunition the Eotech's BDC reticle is calibrated to.
e.g. M855, SS109 and so on.

yeah sarg just needing to know if you think this is a good matchup with the ps90? xps2-2 has three diff reticles. i have a eotech 552 but it seems huge on top.

Personally, I would drop a line to L3 and I'm sure they can clear things up. Ballistically, the 5.7 is close to a 5.56 at short range, so I would guess that you would be close with a BDC reticle for the 5.56 to 200 yards.
I would just get the unit with a 4 moa dot and zero it for 50 yards and be done with it. I don't try to kid myself into thinking the PS is anything more (to me) than a short range gun with a lot of capacity.
But, that's me...![]()

Here is the link to EOTech's webpage for the model he is refering to.
http://www.eotech-inc.com/product.php?id=30&cat=2
On that page it doesn't specify any balistic compensation for the two dot reticle. I wonder if the second dot is adjustable seperately, but no further info on the page, about it.
The model number XPS2-2, the -2 is the reticle type it is supplied with, as seen below.
