The Holosun ARO MRS Gold Dot Sight (ARO-MRS-GD) is a compact enclosed-emitter rifle gold dot sight with Holosun's Multi-Reticle System — a 2 MOA gold dot, a 65 MOA circle, or both as a circle-dot — behind a 22 mm objective, supplied with both a lower-1/3 co-witness mount and a low mount.
ARO stands for Advanced Rifle Optic. The MRS is the reticle-switching member of the range: the 65 MOA circle gives you something large to find fast at close range, while the 2 MOA dot on its own keeps the aiming point precise further out. Gold sits between red and green and gives strong contrast against bright, washed-out daylight backgrounds. Shake Awake gives up to 50,000 hours from one CR2032, and the aluminium housing is rated IP67 against water and dust.
How It Compares
The same sight is offered as the ARO MRS red dot sight and the ARO MRS green dot sight. If you only want one clean aiming dot, the ARO GD2 gold dot sight is the single-reticle version of the same 22 mm housing, and the ARO EVO gold dot sight steps up to a 26 mm window with Solar Failsafe. For a much larger window again, see the AEMS CORE X2 gold dot sight.

- Civilian Service Rifle and practical rifle shooting on straight-pull AR-pattern carbines

Frequently Asked Questions
What reticles does the Holosun ARO MRS Gold Dot Sight offer?
The Holosun ARO MRS Gold Dot Sight uses Holosun's Multi-Reticle System, which switches between a 2 MOA gold dot on its own, a 65 MOA circle on its own, and both together as a circle-dot.
Will the Holosun ARO MRS co-witness with AR-pattern iron sights?
Yes. The Holosun ARO MRS is supplied with both a lower-1/3 co-witness mount and a low mount, so you can either co-witness with standard AR-height irons or sit the sight low on a rail.
What battery does the Holosun ARO MRS take and how long does it last?
The Holosun ARO MRS runs on one CR2032 coin cell and is rated for up to 50,000 hours. Shake Awake switches the reticle off when the rifle is still and wakes it the instant the rifle is moved.
Is the Holosun ARO MRS an enclosed gold dot sight?
Yes, the Holosun ARO MRS uses a fully enclosed 22 mm emitter and is rated IP67, so rain, dust and debris cannot reach the emitter and block the reticle the way they can on an open reflex sight.
How does the ARO MRS differ from the ARO EVO?
The ARO MRS has a 22 mm enclosed objective and runs on a CR2032 with Shake Awake. The ARO EVO uses a larger 26 mm window, adds Solar Failsafe and finer 0.5 MOA clicks, and is the bigger and heavier of the two.
Is the Holosun ARO MRS night-vision compatible?
Yes. The Holosun ARO MRS has 10 brightness settings, of which 8 are daylight settings and 2 are night-vision compatible, so the reticle can be dimmed far enough to use behind a night vision device.
