RangerTrace Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I've been wanting a JP5 ever since I started reading about them on here. I had a GMR15 and it was great except that it wasn't truly ambidextrous. I've got an extra Atlas in the safe I'm going to sell to fund it, the optic and extra mags. I was thinking about an MRO for the optic, but wanted to run it by you guys to see what you are running. Thanks in advance for your input. Trace Link to comment
mrvip27 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 510c without the shroud. Great window size. Dot size works for tight shots. Would like to experiment with the new 507 comp on a riser mount, but the 510c has been working for me. Link to comment
ChuckS Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Holosun 512. If you think you will ever shoot in the rain Also, less susceptible to sun reflections over your shoulder. You get a 2 moa dot for precision, a big-ass circle for hosing. Put the BAC over the round part of the steel and shoot. Use the sides of the circle for lead compensation for moving targets and use the bottom tic on the circle for close-up targets. I have used the 510C for the last 4 years with no issue. The 512 was added after I got rained on in Utah and lost half the reticle to a slow to evaporating rain drop on the LED. Link to comment
rifleman777 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Cmore Railway, love it, just remember to turn it off at the end of the day. Link to comment
Joe4d Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 and would recomendations change for steel challenge only on a rimfire carbine ? Link to comment
DwightSchrute Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I’m a big fan of the 6 MOA Deltapoint Pro for both USPSA and Steel Challenge. It’s the only red dot I’ve used that doesn’t wash out on me in bright sunlight. Link to comment
Dirty_J Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 The holographic sights have been phenomenal for me. Love the crispness of the reticle for target-focus shooting. Been using the Eotech and/or Vortex UH-1 for 2+ years for USPSA now. (previously used the Holosun 510/512’s) No comparison between a traditional red dot and holographic for me. 10/10 would recommend.

mgkrs Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I found holographic sights had a fuzziness and noise to it, similar to the dot from a laser pointer, are you not seeing that? Link to comment

Ner Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Did anyone tried Prism x1 optics (Swampfox Blade for example) for fast Pcc target transitions end etc ? Link to comment
philmadxx Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I have a GMR-15 and run 510's and love them, I have a 512 I bought because I was afraid of the rain situation Chuck describes above but haven't mounted it yet. It's pretty heavy but that doesn't bother me, I'm just lazy. I have a JP5 on order, hopefully early March, was going to try the AEMS - not sure why, it kinda looks cool. I sent a UH-1 back, I have an astigmatism and it was way too fuzzy for me. Have a C-more railway - can't trust it becase of battery life. I changed the battery for each match but it still died during a long day - can't trust it. Vortex venom or viper - can't remember which - good sights, just don't like the single dot. Lots of really good sights out there, hard to go wrong, I think the reticle is the most important this. Good luck. Link to comment

We have a winner. That’s “fuzziness” is a great tell when you’re cheating yourself and not shooting target focus! Link to comment

I also find with the my astigmatism I do not get bursting like my eyes do with most dots. It is a shaper image. If you see the graininess of the holographic reticle you are definitely not target focused. I used to think the circle dot reticle was too busy. I use to run the Holosun HS510C without the circle. I then switch to an EoTech, and found with the circle and dot reticle I shoot steel at a higher efficiency for some reason. I also use the lower tick of the circle at the 6 O'clock position is point of aim for close tight targets. Link to comment

Circle/dot is the way. Also use the bottom of the circle for 5-7yd targets for proper POI. It’s almost like cheating. Link to comment

They are one of the worst optics in regards to parallax. I have a couple of buddy's that is testing equipment all of the time and will not buy any MROs due to the parallax issues. If you are stuck on the MRO make sure you get a Gen II. It is slightly better than the Gen I but it is still pretty bad. I had a Gen I and it was horrible.

Closed system after shooting PCC Nationals in FL, and 2 Gun Nationals in Alabama where it rained its fair share. Link to comment
Sinister4 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 510....it works well, ill shoot irons as well sometimes Link to comment

I've got a Holosun 510 on my JP GMR15 and, by removing the shroud, you save a lot of weight. The huge window is a big plus and the circle/dot reticle is very fast to find. I did buy an HS512 just for the reason given but it's smaller window and more intrusive frame makes it a bit less fast than the 510. Link to comment
Tampa-XD45 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Holosun 510 on my GMR15. No complaints. I did have to tighten the QR screw once in 3 years. Link to comment
works for ammo Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I use the HS512 and really like it. Link to comment

theix Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Eotech EFLX. Super clear glass. Downside is I always have to run it at max setting otherwise it washes out. Link to comment
