I was looking for a good optic for my PCC, which is a well-equipped CZ Scorpion. As I own half a dozen Holosun optics, I turned to them for a good option. I almost went with the AEMS, because I liked the idea of having both a replaceable battery and the solar backup, but I wanted to save a little money and I hadn't tried this one out before, so I gave it a shot.

On the plus side, it is a great all-around optic. Glass is crystal clear and sharp. The reticle is also beautiful, crisp, and easy to acquire quickly. The optic was very close to zero without any adjustments at all, right from the box. Buttons are large and easy to access, making adjustments a snap!

I only have two minor complaints, and they truly are minor--obviously since I'm still giving it 5 stars! First are the optic covers that come with it. They are good quality rubber, but I would have preferred to see some flip-up style caps, so you can just leave them on and quickly bring your weapon into the action. Second is the battery. I understand why they didn't include a replaceable battery, but I would have liked to have some way of knowing how much juice is in the unit. As it stands, the only way you know if it is low is when it is down to less than 30 percent battery. And charging it isn't as easy as most people realize, as you need some serious light to accomplish the task. Still, a fantastic optic and I am very happy with the purchase!
