Holosun SCRS Rifle Sight

The new Holosun SCRS flips the script on the red dot sight. It’s quite common for a red dot optic to have a solar backup option attached to an optic will power the optic reticle but not charge the device battery. Setups like these use a replaceable battery, and the solar panel is there to kick in when the battery fails. The SCRS (Solar Charging Rifle Sight), however, is different. The SRS is a compact 20mm tube sight designed for use with a rifle, with a range features and adjustments that make it well-suited to a wide variety of applications.

The SCRS has multi-directional light sensors, an advanced auto mode for automatic reticle intensity settings and a manual mode for manual dot intensity control. The 20,000-hour power reserve is stored in an internal solar charging battery, providing more than enough power to charge three different reticle styles: 65-MOA Circle and 2-MOA Dot, 2-MOA Dot, or 65-MOA Circle. The sight is capable of +/- 50 MOA travel with 1-MOA per click adjustment. Reticle intensity has eight daylight and four night vision settings. SCRS is IP67 rated and made from 7075 aluminum and uses Holosun’s 509T footprint for compatibility with third-party offset RDS mounts.
