Product Spotlight: Holosun Ronin Optics

Ben Stoeger discusses his increasing preference for green reticle optics, particularly on handguns like the Staccato P and SIG P365. He finds green dots more attention-grabbing without being distracting, especially in dimmer conditions. Stoeger anticipates green optics will offer greater performance benefits at mid-range distances (40-60 yards) on rifles, where precise brightness adjustment is crucial for aggressive shooting without visual fatigue. He highlights the Holosun AMS in green as a new addition he's excited to test.

Ben Stoeger discusses his experience with rifle optics, specifically comparing the Primary Arms 1X Prism and the Holosun AMS. He expresses dissatisfaction with the Primary Arms optic's large, donut-style reticle. Stoeger is trying the Holosun AMS based on positive feedback from other shooters, noting its perceived higher mounting height as a potential advantage over the Holosun 510C, despite the AMS having a smaller objective window.

This video tests the functionality of various firearm optics (red dots, holographic, prism, magnified) when mounted backwards on a rifle. While some etched reticle optics, like the Trijicon VCOG and Primary Arms 2x prism, can be used for basic aiming at close range, performance degrades significantly at distance. Red dot and holographic sights often become unusable, with some red dots failing to display a visible reticle. The video highlights that while technically possible in some cases, mounting optics backwards is not recommended for practical use due to severe limitations in clarity, field of view, and aiming precision.
