Holosun is kicking off the second half of 2025 with a bang, unveiling its brand-new ARO and ARO EVO red dot optics.
Designed for shooters looking for rugged, reliable, and versatile optics, these two releases promise to cover everything from close quarters to intermediate-range shots.
Meet the ARO
The Advanced Rifle Optic (ARO) builds on Holosun’s popular 403 and 503 lines. It’s housed in a compact 22mm body, making it an ideal partner for Holosun’s magnifiers. The optic mounts with a 1.63-inch 1/3 co-witness pedestal featuring a new skeletonized design.

Holosun packed the ARO with its signature Shake Awake™ Technology, delivering up to 50,000 hours of battery life on a single CR2032. Rated IP67 for water and dust resistance, this optic is ready for harsh conditions.
Users can choose between a standard 2 MOA dot or Holosun’s Multi-Reticle System™ (MRS), which toggles between a 2 MOA dot, a 65 MOA circle, or both. The ARO is available with Red, Green, or Gold illumination, ensuring visibility in nearly any lighting environment.
Enter the ARO EVO
If you want a bigger sight picture, the ARO EVO has you covered. Its 26mm housing offers a wider field of view, and it introduces Holosun’s new Special Purpose Reticle (SPR).
This reticle combines a 2 MOA dot, a circle, and bullet drop compensation/ranging marks – perfect for those who need precision at intermediate ranges.
The ARO EVO comes with Shake Awake™ Technology, Solar Failsafe™, and the same 50,000-hour battery life as its sibling. It’s built with a tough 6061 aluminum housing and rated IPX8 for extreme water and dust resistance.
Shooters get 8 daylight and 4 night vision brightness settings, making the EVO a truly all-condition optic.
