Holosun 403 Series of sights in Amazon:

I was at SHOT and stumbled into the Holosun booth [watch for the video]. I did not even know they existed. It seems to do what the Aimpoint does but for A LOT less. The build quality seems identical and the feature set on these Holosun sights is BETTER than Aimpoint. Take my current favorite model reviewed here in field: the 503C “Paralow” circle dot. I bought this over an astronomically priced Aimpoint Micro red dot. Here again we are seeing the frequent pricing folly of big name companies like Aimpoint (or Surefire w flashlights) that take for granted to their marketplace domination. This pricing level opens the door for smart competition. The video will cover its simple ALWAYS ON operation that really works for a change: a super precise 2 MOA dot in 65 MOA circle that comes on when you shoulder the gun. Battery life is rated at 50,000 (or 5.7 yrs) hrs too for a lightweight 2032 power cell. Manual mode with just the 2 MOA dot (precise and not fat like many) is a button press away. It features AUTO OFF when in manual mode. It’s only 4.6 oz…and that’s with the included high AR-15 riser mount attached. On weight alone it will save big weight on your AR or AK build. Other features are shown, like its amazing SOLAR power augmentation….it can even work w/o a battery in proper light. This is currently my favorite CIRCLE or RED DOT sight being produced and it has been 100% reliable so far; each one has a no questions lifetime warranty as well. I bought two more for us in Amazon (sub to my Twitter feed if there are any failures of these sights over time). I still love the Bushnell TRS-25 and it continues to soldier on reliably on many TNP guns. It works great. But the Holosun is higher quality, more trustable in rough conditions, seems to have a much better mounting interface, and has cutting edge features that makes my job as a shooter easier. That’s what any good product does.

  2. Yeah, ok. I'm sure this optic that was probably put together by a 12 year old on the third story of some run down building in Hong Kongs red light district is definitely just as good as an Aimpoint that's built in a high tech lab in Sweden by professionals that have been doing it for years.

  4. It sure is hard to pay 600-700 for an Aimpoint when you get this quality for 200 bucks! I'll still keep my T-2 for my GTW rifle tho.But now i can oufit my other rifles with a good reddot without caving in the bank account.Thanks TNP!

  14. I now have five Holosun HS403C sights and love them.  In the video you say that it's now your favorite red dot sight.  I'm so glad to hear someone saying the same thing that I have been tell everyone I talk to about sights.  In the past you either had the el-cheep-O red dots that were no more than toys or the big money sights.  Holosun is about 80% the quality of Aimpoint at about 1/3 the price.  I do have Trijicon, Aimpoint and Leupold sights, trust me, you need to at least give one a try.  Time will tell but I think Solar powered red dots will be the next big thing industry wide.  Now the inside of my safe looks like a Holosun display!   I loved the video, Thank You!

  20. It automatically turns on when you put your face up to it. Yeager teaches to have both iron sights up so it can be always ready. But you want to trust in something made in china to automatically turn on when you put your face to it?

  22. Just ordered from Amazon. My first red dot, can't wait to try it out. I am looking forward to see if this helps with my bad eyes. I have trouble seeing my front iron sight without my reading glasses. I hope this helps. Thanks for the tip on this sight.

  28. Nutnfancy, Please do a review that addresses the red glare that appears on the picture sight when facing away from a light source. Hopefully, Holosun will get the message and fix this problem on their future devices.

  38. is your philosophy of use for less than 50Yd or does the 2 moa good for 100yds? my reason for asking is my eyes are not the best and your video about scopes for ar-15 I am prone to get a scope cause I want to see stuff up to 100yrds. what do you think?

  41. Totally digging the snow grey duracoat job, and the more I see of it the more it grows on me. I love the idea of the Holosun sight utilizing solar power. It seems like a no brainier to do.

  45. nutnfancy … or anyone else with a Holosun, does yours work without the battery in the tray? I was expecting it be able to work without the battery in the tray and on solar, but the ones I've tested would not.

  47. awesome review, but I think saying "auto dimmer" instead of "autimatic" would be a better choice of words. last thing you need is some anti-gun hearing this thinking it makes your gun "automatic"…..because we all know how uneducated they are lol. BTW I still love the Bushnell TRS25.
