## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by C***O on August 24, 2024*

I bought this too target shoot with and to test to see how well it works and to see if they are as good as everyone talks about. When i got it I was super pleased with the clarity of the glass even though it has a little green tent to it. The gold dot I love i even had my mom try it because she’s blind in one eye and she actually really liked it as well. I like how you can do the 3 different reticles they are very visible and goes super bright and all the way down to night vision. I’m super happy and impressed with this sight I’ll definitely be buying more holosuns. I bought the 512 just because it has the closed emitter plus I wanted something tough because I’m paraplegic and I drop things at times so I didn’t want anything getting in and blocking the LED from shining. It definitely seems durable. I’m sure the battery life is good even if it’s not it has solar to back it up which is why I went with it as well normally I just go with scopes so I don’t have to mess with batteries. The price I paid I was happy with and it’s super easy to install my mom helped tightened the screws for me since my grip strength isn’t that great. Definitely worth it and happy with it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for an AR10
*by C***N on August 10, 2025*

Been holding up on my AR10 for several months now without a single issue. The gold reticle is easy for my eyes to catch in a fast moving situation. Haven't had to replace the battery. Great item for a great price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value.
*by T***S on June 30, 2025*

I like red dots. Green dots leave me continuing to see a Green Dot after I look away. Yellow dot absolutely perfect for my eyes. I liked it so much. I bought two more. I can see this just fine at night and during the day in the desert of Arizona. It's plenty, bright and at night it's a nice mellow yellow.
