The Holosun ARO Gold (ARO-GD2) is the compact 1x rifle dot sight with a 2 MOA gold dot instead of red, on a 1.63 in lower 1/3 co-witness Picatinny mount.
Gold sits between red and green: it stands out against both foliage and bright backgrounds, and many shooters find it easier on the eye than red.
Under the gold reticle it is the same ARO. A CR2032 rated at up to 50,000 hours runs it, Shake Awake turns the dot off when the rifle is still and on again when it moves, and the battery loads from a side tray so the sight stays on the mount. There are 10 daylight and 2 night-vision compatible brightness settings, 0.5 MOA clicks and 50 MOA of adjustment each way.
The housing is aluminium with a MAO finish and rated IP67, and eye relief is unlimited. For the same sight with a red dot see the ARO red, and for a circle-dot reticle in gold the ARO MRS Gold.

What the ARO Gold fits
The supplied mount clamps to any MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail and sets the dot at lower 1/3 co-witness over AR-height iron sights, for AR-15s, straight-pull rifles and railed shotguns. It also suits lower 1/3 flip-to-side magnifiers.
