The Holosun ARO-RD2 with HM3X magnifier delivers precision optics engineered for tactical applications and competitive shooting. This combo system combines a reliable red dot sight with flip-to-side magnification for enhanced target engagement at extended ranges. The ARO-RD2 features Holosun's proven Solar Failsafe technology and multi-reticle system for consistent performance across varied lighting conditions.
What Makes This Different
The ARO-RD2 incorporates Holosun's advanced LED technology with both solar panel backup and battery power for extended runtime exceeding 50,000 hours. The paired HM3X magnifier provides true 3X magnification with quick-detach mounting that flips completely out of the optical path. This combination eliminates the need for separate close-range and precision optics setups.
Key Features
- Multi-reticle system with 2 MOA dot and 65 MOA circle options
- Solar Failsafe technology with automatic brightness adjustment
- HM3X 3X magnifier with flip-to-side QD mount
- Shake Awake motion activation conserves battery life
- Aluminum housing with titanium construction elements
- Lower 1/3 co-witness height for AR-15 platforms
- IPX7 waterproof rating for adverse weather conditions
Field testing demonstrates consistent zero retention through temperature cycling and recoil stress. The magnifier maintains clear glass clarity across the 3X zoom range while the red dot provides rapid target acquisition for close-quarters engagement. Both optics feature anti-reflective coatings that minimize glare during daylight shooting sessions.
