Holosun ARO EVO Advanced Rifle Optic with Solar Failsafe - Green Dot
The Holosun ARO EVO Green Dot is a modern rifle optic that gives you a bigger, cleaner sight picture without overcomplicating things. It runs a crisp 2 MOA green dot in a 26mm window, so you get plenty of space to track targets and stay aware while still keeping a fast, simple aiming point. It’s got Solar Failsafe and Shake Awake built in, so it stays ready when you need it and saves power when you don’t. The lower 1/3 co-witness setup comes ready out of the box, and the whole thing is built from rugged aluminum, so it’s designed for real-world use on rifles that actually get run hard.

The Holosun ARO EVO Advanced Rifle Optic is the next evolution in precision shooting, delivering a refined design with class-leading technology and performance. Featuring an all-new 26mm housing, the ARO EVO offers a significantly larger sight picture, giving shooters enhanced situational awareness and visual clarity. Its refined lower 1/3 co-witness pedestal mount ensures a natural shooting position and seamless compatibility with Holosun’s magnifier series. A newly integrated lens cap and anti-reflection device system further optimise optical performance in bright conditions.
At the heart of the optic is a crisp 2 MOA dot powered by Holosun’s advanced Solar Failsafe™ technology. This system not only ensures you have a reliable backup power source in any lighting condition, but it also automatically adjusts reticle brightness to match your environment. Whether you're in bright daylight or low-light surroundings, the ARO EVO adapts in real-time, even functioning without a battery when enough light is available.
The Shake Awake™ feature conserves battery by powering down the LED during periods of inactivity, springing instantly back to life with the slightest movement. Combined with Holosun’s Super LED, the optic offers superb energy efficiency and brightness levels ranging from night vision-compatible to daylight-bright, achieving up to 50,000 hours of battery life.
Built from rugged 6061 T6 aluminium with a hard anodised finish, the ARO EVO is lightweight yet robust, weighing just 6oz. It’s parallax-free, with unlimited eye relief and a 1x magnification, ensuring rapid target acquisition. Engineered to thrive in extreme environments, it’s rated IPX8 waterproof, resistant to 1000G vibration, and operates flawlessly in temperatures ranging from -30°C to 60°C.
