I've got a couple of older acogs, they still run great.
Although not in current favor, my favorite red dot is a RX01NSN. |

I’m talking out of my ass and only reporting secondhand anecdotal, but mostly to bring it up: I don’t see much about the SRO breaking from falls or whatnot like the window shattering etc, but it seems like I hear a lot of users reporting the optics simply turn off one day and need warranty work to get running again. Dunno though, I’ve only used the RMR. |

It has the chevron reticle and cyalume glow stick backup. It still works as well as the day I got it-yes, the tritium is dim but if it’s that dark I can’t see what I am shooting at so I don’t care. It sits on a rifle I pull out once a year and drag thru the woods so it’s perfect for that because I don’t think about it or the rifle outside of that. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TheOtherDave: Holosun has been outperforming Trijicon in Sage Dynamocs drop tests… Anecdotally, HK found them to be better in their durability tests too. In my personal experiences, Holosun has been solidly underperforming against the competition in terms of reliability/durability  I have had: - A SCS just die for no reason...just stopped working. - I received a replacement SCS from Holosun, and I was happy with that service. The new one came with screws that looked shorter than what I had on the original one... After about 200 rounds of 115gr FMJ, one of the screws sheared off and is now a little nub stuck in my G19 MOS slide. I've heard about several other people having Holosun screws shear off on both rifle and pistol optics. - A 508T where the window was very obviously wonky and asymmetrical. - A 509T-RD that would not tighten properly to the dovetail mount plate. I just don't trust Holosun anymore. |
