Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between Holosun's 400 and 500 series optics?

Holosun categorizes its optics into the 400 series, which typically feature a fixed 2 MOA dot reticle, and the 500 series, known for their versatile multi-reticle systems, such as the 2 MOA dot combined with a 32 MOA ring.

What is 'Lock Mode' on Holosun X2 variant optics?

'Lock Mode' is a feature on Holosun X2 variant optics designed to prevent accidental adjustment of settings. It disables the buttons, which is particularly useful for professional users or during intense activity where unintended changes could occur.

Why is the Holosun 508T X2 significant?

The 508T X2 is notable for its Grade 5 Titanium housing and a redesigned square flat-top. This construction proved significantly more durable in drop tests compared to previous round-top designs, making it a robust option.

Are green reticles on Holosun optics more or less battery-efficient than red ones?

Contrary to older laser technology, Holosun's green LED technology is actually more battery-efficient than red LEDs, especially at higher brightness settings, offering up to three times the battery life in those conditions.
