The Holosun ARO (ARO-RD2) is a compact 1x rifle red dot sight with a single 2 MOA red dot, a side-loading CR2032 battery and a 1.63 in lower 1/3 co-witness Picatinny mount.
A small, tube-style rifle optic that does the basics properly: one crisp dot, long battery life and a mount at the height most AR shooters want.
Holosun rates the CR2032 at up to 50,000 hours, and Shake Awake switches the dot off when the rifle is still and back on the moment it moves. There are 10 daylight and 2 night-vision compatible brightness settings, adjusted from the buttons on top. The battery tray loads from the side, so you can change the cell without taking the sight off the mount and losing zero.
The housing is aluminium with a MAO finish and rated IP67 against water and dust. Windage and elevation move 0.5 MOA per click with 50 MOA of travel each way, and eye relief is unlimited. If you want solar backup, the ARO EVO adds it in a larger housing; the ARO keeps things simple and light.

What the Holosun ARO fits
The supplied mount clamps to any MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail and sets the dot at lower 1/3 co-witness over standard AR-height iron sights, which suits AR-15 carbines, straight-pull rifles and shotguns with a top rail. It also lines up with lower 1/3 flip-to-side magnifiers such as the Holosun HM3X.
