HOLOSUN Red Multi-Reticle, 7075 Aluminum, Enclosed, Solar Sight

Have had this optic for over a year, use at it work and have attended several different schools/trainings with this optic. Performance is phenomenal. It’s on par with Eotech, vortex, aim point and brands.

The only downside to this thing is the amount of people trying to buy it off me at the range. People see it and fall in love. I already liked holosun optics before this one but now I'm in love! You get a very nice sight picture and the square lenses give you a larger picture while also looking nice on you gun. Even though it's square it's not this huge bulky thing that takes up a ton of room like an EOTECH. There's probably some better optics out there but for someone that dosent wanna spend $800+ on an optic but wants a good quality one then this is hands down one of the best. As long as you don't have any delusions that your optic should wipe your butt and calculate windage for you then you'll love this too! I mean who dosent love NOT having to buy those expensive flat batteries every time you wanna go to the range and realize your optic won't come on?

Finally writing a review after almost 3 years. This optic has performed flawlessly and has not failed. Shake awake still on point. I did changed the batteries at 1 years but I do that for all my RDS even if there not dead. Zero has never been off. I paired with a vortex 3x mag. If you actually use your optic, The enclosed emitter is the way to go and with the second glass doors for some added protection. This optic has been 100% since i purchased it. I have nothing negative to say.

This sight was a great addition to my setup. I tried going cheap and quickly replaced my old red dot with this one and I’m glad I did. Great purchase and worth the money. Install was easy.

Awesome sight. The best can red dot I own. Will be buying more of these. Great for dusty environments. Easy to clean.

Rugged little unit feature packed options sleek design. I opted for the AEMS and not the CORE because I wanted solar also, batteries can get annoyingly expensive and to carry. Better to have and not need, then to need and not have. Unless your budget does not permit of course then go for the CORE model. I had issues with previous units AEMS and 510c they had a pronounced red outline along with the reticle that only intensifies with the brightness setting at which point you could also see the wavy outlines of the glue or adhesive around the perimeter of the window. For some this could be distractingly annoying for others it can be ignored. For the money a bit disappointing but I guess it’s better then a fuzzy ring and dot MOA with no features on the more expensive brand. It’s also a lot smaller profile and not as chunky as the more expensive brand that only offers one fuzzy reticle mode for those cursed with astigmatism like myself I guess. This one has multi reticle function to be desired by your choice of 3 along with your typical brightness settings including NV. Also has lot more features than the more expensive brand. Good value IMO. So I got a brand new one from a big box store that hadn’t been opened scuffed and returned and sent to me as new like a few previous orders I had received from here leading up to this review. My new AEMS RED model has less reflection of the square outline then the previous ones I had dealt with. Instead it’s got a roundish curved top edge and the outlines are more like a faint frame with the reticle in the middle on high setting. The previous ones I had were way worse. Looks like putting target in a picture frame. I don’t mind it so far only time will tell. It’s a solid unit overall. I recommend minus its flaws still functional if you can get beyond some of the extra lit up presentation of the window. For these reasons i titled it 50/50 you either like it or you don’t. You either get a new untouched unit or you get something seemingly suspiciously returned and resent to you as new.

Put this on my rifle. Couldn’t be happier. Probably my favorite red dot.

I am a firearms instructor for pistols, rifles and also a red dot instructor. I have used various high end to low end sighting systems. The Halosun AEMS is clear and crisp. The red dot holds zero and the battery life is outstanding. Halosun has upped there game in the last few years and I even switched to the 509t x2 for pistol use. Save money and get more features and durability with this sight.
