Excellent features and value - Holosun Elite 1x 2 MOA Dot/65 MOA Circle Dot Solar/Battery Micro Green Dot Sight

I had been hearing a lot about Holosun for years. But I really wanted one that was fit for field use(defense, drills, duty, etc.) While I had heard how much abuse Holosuns can take, lens caps, a flash killer, and a qd mount were very welcome features that sold me on the optic. Especially for the price. As for performance, the reticle is very crisp and offers plenty of brightness adjustments. Works fine on bright days and low light. Though I heard some people say that the mount it comes with is not the best, I have not had any shifts in zero in the time I have been running the optic. I also like the "donut of death" for additional reference in aiming at distance or with determining distance. The shake awake system is really nifty. Definitely helps on battery life. The ability to change how you want your reticle along with being able to switch from manual to automatic brightness adjustment makes this optic very versatile. In an age where optics and red dots are becoming practically standard for most modern rifles, it is ludicrous to expect simple dot optics to remain at prices above 500 bucks. If you ask me, even 400 is too high for a red dot these days. For people that want a good performing optic that also gives you lots of options in a sturdy package, this one gives you everything you need for defense and or duty. Even the simpler Holosuns are good if you don't want the additional lens caps and such. Also, the warrantee on this optic is nice. One thing I will say is that the glass does have an ever so slight tint to it. But that is due to the coating on the lense and, to be honest, it really doesn't make much of a difference in my ability to see adequately through it. It does make a bit more of a difference in low light, but at that point, you are supposed to be using a flash light anyway, even with an optic with "clear" glass. Overall, it is a fantastic optic that gives pricier dot optics a run for their money.
