And I've dealt with this at something even as simple as a Steel Challenge match. Had shot 3 or 4 stages with the HS510c, when I got to the stage where we shot under cover out into the sun-lit target area. Suddenly noticed my dot wasn't very visible. Hadn't realized I was running in solar cell mode until then. Had to switch over to battery just to make it work. As long as you can switch between battery and solar, no big deal, but if you're limited to illumination based on where you're standing rather than where you're aiming, there can be an issue. This is why I always leave mine on battery mode -- never solar. Shake awake works fine in this mode too fyi. Link to comment
Eltee Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I have been looking high and low for one of those custom rails that but where the original sights are but allow use of both an optic and the original sights, mounted on to the barrel. Any leads appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment
Chillywig Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) I like everything about holosun. Just wish they'd offer a larger moa dot as on option. How awesome would a 6 or 8 moa green dot be in the 510!!!??? Edited August 11, 2019 by Chillywig Link to comment

2scoops Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Totally against the grain but using a leupold deltapoint 7.5 triangle. Previously used, aimpoint, trijicon, cmore and holosun. Big “dot” which is easily picked up, accurate shooting if need be by using the top of the triangle, ... Link to comment
DeChristo Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Have constant troubles with C-More wandering zero. It is constantly shifting to the left ... it stays for a while but at one point it jumps left. Any ideas? I am flirting with Holosun510c but am not yet convinced by the circle dot. We did a bit of comparison test with a friend and Leica Tempus came really on top with Sig Romeo 3 second, but the prices are bit off... Tempus is almost 2x the price of Holosun... Link to comment

rishii Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Look for cracks on the body around the adjustment/lock screws Link to comment
Eltee Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) I had a spare Eotech I used for work so I popped it on my Ruger carbine. I had to put a cheek rest on the stock to get the proper head position and weld. I may customize the internal foam some more but this combo has pretty fast acquisition. I tried one of my Aimpoint M2s but I like the Eotech a little better for this. I'll keep trying different combinations and following this thread to see what other folks use.

frenchman Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I've tried quite a few so I have some experiance - do yourself a favor and get the Holosun 510 - you can't beat the recticle design, you can't beat the price, and you can't beat the durability - I prefer the model with the green recticle, but some people prefer the red Link to comment

Nothing wrong with the 510 until you get water on the LED emitter... Link to comment
Startingover Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Well what's the thoughts on the Holosun 512? Hows it working out? Edited September 11, 2019 by Startingover Link to comment

I ran it this weekend at a Steel Challenge match. The short answer is it's a 510 that won't wash out in the rain. I don't see any real difference in performance, other than the LED emitter is shielded. Link to comment
Bwillis Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) I agree with lowspeedhighdrag, my 510 starburst in 2 different matches from the rain. I spent the extra for the t model It’s 2 oz lighter than the 510 with its hood removed. Lifetime housing warranty and 10 year electronic Edited September 11, 2019 by Bwillis Link to comment

It's another 2 oz lighter and I don't see any downside. Serious question. Link to comment

I like the large window of the 512, the ability to run it on the solar panels to save battery life, and the choice of dot/circle/circle dot reticles. I went with the standard red version at $350. And for me, the dot is close to a dot; with my astigmatism, not all dots are. Link to comment

Fasthenk65 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Had a chance to shoot a stage with the Holosun 510c. Man, I like it. Now have the C-more 4moa but feel Holosun picked up even faster! They just don't look sexy... Link to comment

I looked through a fellow shooter’s 510C, which led me to buy a pair, and put them on my steel Challenge, rimfires. We’ll see, on Sunday how they work out Link to comment
