Holosun 510C Vs EOTech EXPS3. Two very different optics, but one is definitely not for starters unless money isn't an issue, but the EOTech is full weatherproof and the HS510C isn't.
Battery wise, the 510C lasts way longer than the EOTech because it's not using a laser to emit the reticle.

Reticle Projection
The EOTech reticle is mirrored a few more times before being visible to the shooter, and the Holosun 510C is a straightforward reticle projection onto the front lens.
However, the EOTech's field of view is less obscured while the brightness settings is dialed up. On the Holosun, the emitter screen starts to mirror all the glare on the front lens during low light conditions.
Winner: EOTech
