Thinking about picking one of these up and using this mount. Should provide absolute co-witness. Anyone have experience with these mounts? http://www.alamofourstar.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&product_id=30&flypage=flypage-ask.tpl&pop=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2

You can probably use the low base mount it comes with and then get this MOUNT to co-witness.
|
|
I did see it, but when you focus on the target and not on the dot it goes away.
|
|
Plan on getting one and get the Samson mount with the pa 3x long eye bundle to go with it what mount to line them up do I need to add the 7mm to it?
|
|
Hmm might have to snatch a couple of these. One for the AK and one for the slug gun.
|
|
Come on somebody. Bit the bullet and beat this thing up so we know how tough it is.

Maybe a dumb question, but what are the major known (set aside build quality/ruggedness) differences between the Holosun and the PA ASRD that is the same price? Just smaller size and weight?

View Quote Size is the big one. Most people have a preference between full size and Micro. One you make that decision you narrow it down from there |

But you shouldn't have to drop another $85 plus shipping to get absolute co-witness. Should come out of the box then add a shim for lower 1/3. Maybe Ill wait for a gen 2 on my next build.

I would love to see someone take one of these and put it through a reasonable rough and tumble test ..... not necessarily the same thing as the Daniel Defense torture test video with the aimpoint micro but close ...

This is my placeholder for a n issue I have. It's 1:30 am and my ass is going to bed. I'll edit tomorrow evening to clarify. Until then...
Marshal and his company are top notch. I look forward to their assistance. |

View Quote Agreed, absolute cowitness + lower 1/3 shim would be preferred. Since the mounts are proprietary are there any near future plans for additional mounts? Would love to see a youtube video of someone putting this through its placed.

Marshall,
I'm not sure if you answered this already but will you be having a similar model under your brand? |

Weaver/picatinny, while not exactly the same, should both work. |

Absolutely love this optic. Bought it a cpl weeks ago and made it to the range past sat. Ran thru transitions, run n gun, different stances and anything else I could expect out of it. flawless. The kicker? It was raining. No fog, no leaks, nothing. I am so impressed.

So I purchased a Holosun RDS from Primary Arms in April. I know there some reviews on here but I wanted to add a review for those interested in the application for an AK variant.
First I wanna say that Primary Arms is quick with shipping and great with Customer Service. Kudos to them, Id recommend them any day of the week. Secondly, this sight is small, stream lined, super light weight (compared to my Vortex Sparc), and looks BA. However, even though it could co-winess the sight sucks. adjustiing the knobs sucks, the measurement "clicks" suck. On the range I had to pay really close attention when adjusting it, otherwise it would spin like crazy. So 60 rounds later I was able to put a few rounds on paper at 15 yards! Now most of you are gonna says its because it's an AK right? Well this same rifle is punching 1" groups at 100 yards with the Vortex Sparc using the 2x magnifier it came with...so enough said on that. It didn't matter in which direction I adjusted the red dot, even maximized it in all directions...and nothing. So I feel a little heart broken cause it looks really good on the rifle, the weight is just right, and it looks like a real tac driver. But honestly I wouldn't give this sight to my enemy. I might put it on an air rifle that I would just hang on the wall. And all this has nothing to do with PA. Those guys are awesome, but as soon as I got home I reinstalled my vortex. I would go to war with the vortex, I can't tell you how many rounds I have down range with it or how many rifle courses I've ran with it. Never let me down. Lesson learned, when you have something good. Stick with it. Oh, another product that looks great but performs horrible...the Samson K-rail Model 1. I've given this thing so many chances, and it always slides forward after 20 rounds. So I'll be chucking that one as soon as I get the Krebs UFM long rail. |

Have you contacted us. Would like to get another out to you ASAP but glad to do a refund? |

Currently torn between this and the PA Micro red dot.
Will be for a 15-22 so not getting overly serious about it but... Holosun appears to have clearer glass, 2 MOA dot preferable(for me), lower profile emitter (from pics) PA Micro Red dot-mount options! Would love to set the chosen red dot for this rifle in the Fortis mount, long standing positive reviews of PA Micro dot all over you tube Decisions decisions |

I gave this Holosun a shot because of the invisible emitter, the very slim profile , the auto on and the 50k batt life. If something is amiss and it turns out to be crap.. P.A has warranty backing on it and they have top notch service. |

I look forward to their assistance. So.... Day15 Sorry. I've been busy with life. The optic, when first mounted, was pointing very left. When attempting to zero, at 15 yards, rounds weren't landing on normal sized paper. Horizontal adjustment was so stiff, had to use a flathead instead of the cap. After 90 rounds and still impacting about 2" to the right, I looked at the glass. The part that moves with adjustment was maxed out to the right. I contacted Marshall and they got me a new one to my door within a few days. Also provided me with a new shipping label to return the old one. I will be zeroing the new on e next week. Otherwise, I really like everything about this red dot. VERY light, clear and unobstructed view. If this o.e zero's without issues, I may buy another. |

Nice write up! View Quote thank you! Due to astigmatism I've been on the fence with all red dots at any price point. Weight and eye relief are key. I looked at all and for the money, the lack of parallax is key. The glass is quite clear outdoors. Not at all though compared to the leatherwood cmr... but relativity is key. I'm trading not 100% "clear" for 22oz It's really clear for that...,dont notice it outdoors. |

Got mine this morning, feels very solid and well built. When I get home I'm going to paint it to match it's new mate Unless Marsh chimes in & tells me it will void the warranty

Had mine out at the range this weekend on a 300 Blackout build I was ensuring worked. It was a true pleasure to use. No reflection was really noticable and the glass looked very clear.
It's deceiving because if you look through this in doors you may see some reflection, but outside this thing is great. LOVE the weight, auto on/off, and the excellent adjustment buttons. This thing is excellent at the price point. I've decided to sell the upper it was on though, so I'm trying to decide if I still need the optic or not. Tough decision because I REALLLLLY like it, but just don't have an upper for it right now. |
|
For the ones that it wont adjust. If you tap the turrets after making a click or two, the dot moves. So its something wrong inside. I sent mine back and quickly got a new one. Great CS at PA.

I got mine on wed, just got around to posting the pics today. Overall I'm impressed. Build quality appears good, optics are clear ad the dot is good. IF it holds up to use (and I think it will) it is a steal of a deal at under $200. Like others have mentioned I wish it took a t-1 mount but at this price point for the features and battery life I'm willing to make that trade off. Came in a nice "Aimpoint looking" box. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h122/KYtechmike/Box_zps63778bfd.jpg Both wrenches, batteries, short mount and cleaning cloth included. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h122/KYtechmike/contents_zpsdd50f611.jpg Here is a really crappy picture "camera shake" of what it looks like apart with the battery inserted. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h122/KYtechmike/inside_zps12883bdc.jpg Here are a couple pics of it on my SBR. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h122/KYtechmike/sbr1_zps92658f4a.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h122/KYtechmike/sbr2_zpsa3d12b63.jpg I didn't take the camera to the range but it zeroed easily and held zero throughout a 300 round shooting session. I like the lower third cowitness. At this point I'm very pleased with the purchase. View Quote Does in say on the box where its made USA or China? |

Reflections are there if you look. Take it to the range and go shooting. You will quickly see a dot on the target and nothing else. Tint vs no reflection is a balance. A T-1 is probable the best balance and there was a thread yesterday where someone sent his T-1 back because of the reflection. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Do you guys notice any distortion from the glass? I ordered the solar cell verson directly from holosun. Its like looking through a magnified optic, i start seeing double image about 3 to 4 inch from my eye looking thru it with boths eyes open. Doesnt happen with other red dots i have.
The solar cell works well, its on 100% solar when you turn off the red dot. Brightnes The customer service from holosun is good, they ship me a 2nd one to try but its got the same problem. They offered me full refund. |

I have the HS403C (solar) optic, and it's been working fine for me. Not quite as efficient at using ambient light as I'd like, but I'm given to understand the SRS has a bit of the same problem. No problems using it with both eyes open, either.

I continue to be impressed with my Holosun red dot. Took it off my Adams Arms carbine today to put a magnified optic on for a few mags, then reinstalled my Holosun. It returned to perfect zero. I now have 400 rounds of 223/5.56 with the Holosun and it has held zero perfectly. Dot is super clear and crisp as is the glass.
It is waterproof to 10 ft, 50,000 hour battery life, and seems very well made. I don't know if it will hold up to the abuse of an Aimpoint micro, but it appears to be just as well built as my micro, and for 1/4 of the price of an Aimpoint, I will definitely buy another! Super happy with the Holosun. Just hoping for a QD mount to be available soon. |
