SimonM Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Hello, I ordered a green 507 Comp and got it delivered a couple of weeks ago. I'd seen the red one and liked it a lot, but I had read some positive things about the green, and decided to try out something new. Once I got the sight I immediately noticed that no matter the reticle or the brightness, I wasn't able to see the dot/reticle as clearly as with any of the other, C-more, Aimpoint or Holosun red dots I have. I even checked it against my friend's red 507 Comp a few days ago and the result was the same. Outside in daylight it wasn't as blurry/unclear, but still noticeably different from the red one. If I was only shooting on bright outdoor ranges or matches, this wouldn't be as big of a deal, but I shoot indoors quite often and I would also like to be able see the 2 MOA dot precisely for shooting more accurately. What is your opinion/experience concerning these green and red 507 Comp sights? Have you ran into anything like this? This is the only green 507 Comp that I've seen and I've been also thinking that there might be something off with the thing. Or my eyes just don't prefer the green colour...

RangerTrace Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I accidentally bought a green reticle Eotech and it's horribly fuzzy compared to all of my red dots. My Holosun red dots are as clear as my Trijicon dots and better than my DPP. So it may more to do with the color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich406 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I had the same issue with the green 507 comp. It was so bad I thought it was defective, until I looked through a different 507 green and it was exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnipTheDog Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I have a 510C, but have noticed that outside in sunny conditions the dot would look blurry. Like the solar panel was providing too much voltage/current to the red dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJM Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 When I compare a red and green 507 Comp side by side, I can't detect any difference in the shape or quality of the 2 moa dot. Clearly different eyes perceive the dot differently. What I can easily see, is that the green dot is effectively three clicks in intensity brighter than the red. In bright sun with sunglasses, the red 2 moa dot on the 507 Comp is too dim for me. Same with the 509T. The other reticles on the red 507 Comp are bright, just not the 2 moa dot.

GJM Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 SimonM if you would prefer a red 507 Comp, I would be happy to trade my like new red for your green one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonM Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 GJM, otherwise that could be a fine option, but I believe that we have an ocean between us... Thanks for the offer! I was already in contact with Holosun and they will handle this, if I'm not happy with my purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 It may be your eyes. I can see green sharper than red like on calculator numbers and other instruments. Have you tried looking through it with different colored glasses or a lens if available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone45 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I've certainly noticed the Green is very bright, and even on the 2moa setting it feels very similar to my 5moa SRO I'll need to get myself a Red version of the 507comp to compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
