[OPTIC] Holosun ARO - 2 MOA Gold Dot - ARO-GD2 $129.99 + tax/ship
Posted by Trainee301@reddit | gundeals | View on Reddit | 36 comments
The new Holosun optic is available and at a great price. I'll also link the red dot version in the comments for a bit more money. I'm waiting for the red MRS system version but thought I'd share these.

What footprint
Leather_Bridge_517@reddit
Anyone know if these are any better under NV than previous holosuns?
Iridium_shield@reddit
Don't know about these yet, but my aems looks great under NV.
skygao@reddit
I’m curious about the new AEMS series. I’ve compared a lot of optics side by side under NV and for its weight and size the AEMS yields a brighter image than almost everything except larger window optics like the Romeo8T and EXPS. But I also noticed with a PVS-14 that the AEMS has a pretty noticeable slight magnification (like 1.1x) and fish eye effect. I had three AEMS units and all of them produced the same effect. The new gen of AEMS claim to have improved parallax control, and I’m wondering if that will also mean a flatter image under NV.

Not a fan of the battery tray and you have to use the screws. If it were on the side and a twist off I’d be good

That's like $10 more than 403b and 403c are going for.. not bad.. makes sense to wait for a donut.. I enjoy the circle dots
starrsandstripes@reddit
It's available now for $180 at primary arms. It comes with MRS reticle
justjaybee16@reddit
The circle dot is way better of you got a little Tism.
greenyadadamean@reddit
Oh probably got a little tism but not astigmatism
MagicManHoncho@reddit
I think we all got a little bit of that tism... we are on reddit after all
simonnn666@reddit
I paid like $180ish for a 503c green during a sale.
greenyadadamean@reddit
Legit
Jimothius@reddit
Is the MRS version available anywhere?

Romeo5 Gen2 vs this - other than the logo, is there a difference?
PoliteRAPiER@reddit
Pretty sure Sig had Holosun whip these up considering the housing, and mounts basically mirror each other.
If I had to guess Sig had them produce the Romeo Gen II and then Holosun stole the design.
HauntedHotsauce@reddit
More likely the other way around.
The Sig Romeo 5 series is notoriously known to be a Holosun 400/500 series clone made right out of holosun's source factory for Sig.
Also Holosun is way ahead on innovation in the red dot/pistol sight market. So I highly doubt they'd need to be stealing any other designs ironically.
PoliteRAPiER@reddit
Not saying you’re wrong but if Sig is copying Holosun on the design then how have the new romeo 5’s been available for months whereas Holosuns are only just now coming to market?
wockonwater@reddit
Because they're different designs.
They're tube dots made using a similar set of base components from the same sources. The new romeo 5 uses 20mm glass for their tube. The aro uses 22mm glass and the aro evo uses 26mm glass.
For the similarities between the new romeo 5 and the aro, would you say sig was copying holosun in the past by shipping their old romeo 5 dots with the same riser that holosun used? Some company makes the risers, and now, both holosun and sig are going to use the same new riser going forward for some of their products.
If you really want to imply one company is copying the other, its sig copying holosun based on the history of product releases.
Sig has a some original designs like the romeo9t, but a lot of their products seem like they're tweaked holosun products. In the end, both companies release good optics.
HauntedHotsauce@reddit
Could be a contractual thing. Sig may have requested to have theirs made and then released it while holosun was waiting to reveal until after Shotshow. Sig pretty much just shadow dropped the gen 2 Romeo 5 whereas holosun this was one of their spotlight announcements
wockonwater@reddit
Lmao this is some sig lover's fanfiction
100konmywristlifesux@reddit
the 503's had a bdc since 2017, primary arms was the exclusive retailer tho
andylikescandy@reddit
Guh I just bought 4 more reflex optics, but I've always wanted to try amber/gold.

robluez@reddit
Is this Aimpoint T-1 footprint?
Frankreremy@reddit
I would like to know as well.
Idumb_gerunteed@reddit
Yup it’s a T-1/T-2 footprint
FalloutRip@reddit
Standard T-2 footprint.
sexbox360@reddit
That mount is ugly
Common_Nerve6056@reddit
I thought it was a SRO clone and was excited for a second lmao
jobrofosho@reddit
Same lol
Silly-Swan-8642@reddit
This is whay they were clearing out 403s
ultramarioihaz@reddit
The battery compartment is way beefier. Solid upgrade. Was certainly the biggest weakness of the 403.
