Description
Never worry about dead batteries again with this ultra-compact solar-charged rifle sight that keeps you on target for years without battery changes.
Say goodbye to carrying spare batteries and hello to unlimited runtime. The Holosun SCRS-RD-MRS combines innovative solar charging technology with an internal rechargeable battery system, eliminating the need for battery replacements during regular use. This compact 20mm tube sight delivers a clear sight picture through multi-coated glass while weighing just 2.45 ounces, making it one of the lightest primary optics available for AR-15s, PCCs, and tactical shotguns. The included lower 1/3 co-witness mount and 509T footprint compatibility give you mounting flexibility across your entire rifle collection.
Key Features
- Solar Charging Technology: Multi-directional light sensors continuously recharge the internal battery during use, with Solar Failsafe providing backup power whenever natural or artificial light is available
- Multi-Reticle System: Toggle between 2 MOA dot only, 65 MOA circle only, or both combined for rapid target acquisition at close range or precision aiming at distance
- Extended Battery Reserve: Internal rechargeable battery provides up to 50,000 hours of runtime on a full charge, with Shake Awake technology extending this further by automatically sleeping after 10 minutes of inactivity
- Night Vision Compatible: Four dedicated NV-compatible brightness settings among 12 total intensity levels allow seamless integration with night vision devices
Important Compatibility Notes
- The SCRS uses the Holosun 509T mounting footprint, which is NOT compatible directly with Picatinny rails—the included mount or third-party 509T-compatible mounts are required
- While the 509T footprint fits many pistol slide adapters, Holosun specifically recommends against mounting the SCRS on handguns due to the higher G-forces generated by reciprocating slides
- The 509T footprint is different from the Aimpoint T-2 or Aimpoint ACRO footprints and requires specific mounts
- Compatible with offset mounts designed for the 509T footprint, ideal for magnified optic setups
Why We Carry It
The SCRS represents a significant shift in red dot technology, using the same solar capacitor system that powers calculators and modern electronics. Unlike traditional red dots with solar panels that only reduce battery drain, the SCRS actively charges an internal battery that can theoretically last 10+ years under normal use conditions. Professional reviewers have stored charged units in dark gun safes for months and found them fully operational thanks to the Shake Awake feature and efficient power management. This technology eliminates a common failure point—forgetting to replace batteries—making it particularly appealing for home defense rifles and competition guns that see regular use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work if I store my rifle in a dark safe?
Yes. The internal battery holds up to 50,000 hours of charge, which equals over five years of continuous runtime. Combined with Shake Awake technology that powers down after 10 minutes of inactivity, your sight will remain ready even after months of storage. The solar panel recharges the battery whenever you use the rifle in any lit environment, whether indoors or outdoors.
Can I replace the battery if it eventually fails?
The internal battery is not user-serviceable, but Holosun offers warranty service for battery replacement. Based on current estimates, the battery should maintain charging capacity for approximately 10-15 years under normal civilian use. This lifespan is comparable to tritium night sights before they dim.
How does the Multi-Reticle System work?
Press and hold the minus button for three seconds to cycle through reticle options: 2 MOA dot only, 65 MOA circle only, or both combined. The large 65 MOA circle helps guide your eye to the dot and provides holdover references for close-range shooting, while the 2 MOA dot alone offers an uncluttered sight picture for precision work.
