First, there was the Holosun SCS (Solar Charging Sight) for pistols. Then, last year, Holosun introduced the SCRS, which stands for Solar Charging Rifle Sight. The SCRS is essentially a tube-like version of the SCS, designed for rifles. And that's pretty great. What we have here is the SCRS GR MRS. That’s a lot of letters, but they make sense when you decipher it—a solar charging rifle sight with a green multi-reticle system. The Chinese-made Holosun SCRS GR MRS competes directly with some heavier contenders from America and Sweden, but it’s smaller and lighter. While it may not be as indestructible as those others, for most gun owners, the SCRS is ideal in terms of size and cost for their ARs, PDW, PCC, SBR, or shotgun. What sets the SCRS apart is that it's solar charging. There is no replaceable battery; it’s powered entirely by its own self-charging solar cell. The unit can be turned on or off. Holosun rates the battery life on a full charge at 50,000 hours at a medium brightness level. But that’s hard to measure because the SCRS is always charging itself if there’s sufficient ambient light. The only way to really test that would be to fully charge the internal battery, then cover the solar cell with electrician’s tape. Let’s just say I haven’t done that. But I’ve used the rifle off and on a lot over the last month. It stays in my safe where it’s always dark. Every time I pull it out, though, the dot’s on and ready to go. The SCRS is small and comes pre-mounted on a riser with tools and rubber lens caps. If you can turn on a light switch, you can mount the SCRS on your rifle. The SCRS, available with a red or green dot, comes in two versions. One has a standard 2 MOA dot, while the MRS versions in each color offer multi-reticle options. That means you can use the 2 MOA dot, a 65 MOA circle, or both. I prefer the green MRS version. The green versions cost slightly more, but green light is about six times more visible to the human eye, and after using both, I find it better to work with. The SCRS can adjust automatically to lighting conditions or be adjusted manually. It has 12 brightness settings, including two that are night vision compatible. The SCRS has great optical clarity. There’s a very slight blue tint that’s hardly visible in photographs. Even in bright Texas midday sun, the SCRS has plenty of brightness, so seeing the reticle isn’t an issue. If you pair the SCRS with a 3X magnifier like Holosun’s HM3x flip-up magnifier, you can handle anything out to 300, maybe even 400 yards with a little range practice. The Holosun SCRS with the multi-reticle option is a very solid high-value option in a small, versatile, rifle red dot. It will handle just about anything you can throw at it and give you the ability to get the most out of your rifle and the ranges most shooters use them.

I don't usually write reviews, but I was so impressed I felt I had to share my experience to help others. I bought this optic to replace a Sig Romeo 5 on my KP9. The Romeo wasn't bad, but it just wasn't for me. I stumbled upon this optic by chance and decided to give it a try. I already use a Holosun EPS on my Glock and really like it, so I thought, why not? This optic comes with a riser that positions it at a very natural height, which I find comfortable. The reticle is similar to Eotech but much cleaner and crisper. The green reticle is bright and easy to see even in daylight while shooting outdoors. It's also super small, creating a compact profile on my weapon without sacrificing eye relief. Crisp, fast target acquisition, small size, and a great price from what I believe is a quality company. If you're on the fence like I was, stop hesitating and take the leap. I truly believe this optic will exceed most people's expectations. I hope this helps someone.
