Green dot gem, emerald in the rough... - Holosun Elite 65 MOA Circle / 2 MOA Dot Reticle Green LED Dot Sight

I have become a fan of Holosun over the past few yrs but this is the only model that ever gave me an issue, my fault though for not having battery cover fully tightened down, it was shutting off during initial zeroing in. The 7075 housing is great but I purchased this model for the extras, caps and kill flash. The QD mount is good but I did have an American Defense 1/3 QD laying around so I swapped it out. This model does have a shine on the finish, I taped off the glass and used some Flat black spray paint and it was good to go. The only downside to the Holosun brand other than being maid in China (20% chance there may an issue out of the box) and the water rating but what can you expect for 300 duckies..I am not swimming across a river with it and the 1 meter rating at 30 min is good for my needs. The green reticle is by far better than the red IMO, I can pick the green up much better even against foliage. I do have a minor astigmatism, the reticle is clear to me but on higher settings gets a star burst look on the dot, who runs around with their dot set above 10 anyway. I run mine on 5-7 most of the time. The shake awake feature is awsome as is the 50K hr battery life on 50% power. I have my original ACSS red reticle HS optic still running on the first battery and its been 3 yrs since purchase, to be fare though I have it set up on a rifle that I don't take out much but still.
