Holosun HE503R GD Gold Dot Rheostat Dial HE503RGD UPC 605930625394
Product Description
The Holosun HE503R-GD Gold Dot Reflex Sight with Rheostat Control (MPN: HE503R-GD) is an elite micro reflex optic engineered for carbines, shotguns, and modern sporting rifles. Featuring Holosun’s innovative 590nm Gold LED reticle technology, the HE503R-GD projects a highly visible, eye-soothing gold illumination that stands out exceptionally against brightly lit outdoor environments, green foliage, and urban backgrounds while offering superior clarity for shooters with astigmatism or red-green color blindness.
Built into a rugged 6061-T6 aluminum housing, the "R" series design replaces standard push-button controls with an intuitive side-mounted rotary rheostat dial. This rotary switch enables rapid tactile selection across 12 brightness settings (10 daylight and 2 night-vision compatible) and incorporates Holosun’s Multiple Reticle System (MRS), allowing operators to seamlessly toggle between a precision 2 MOA center dot only or a 2 MOA dot with a 65 MOA speed ring.
Powered by a single CR2032 battery housed within the center of the rheostat knob, the HE503R-GD boasts up to 50,000 hours of continuous battery life at mid-settings. Featuring an industry-standard Aimpoint Micro (T1/T2) footprint, the optic comes packaged with both a lower 1/3 co-witness riser mount and a low-profile mount, delivering uncompromising versatility for tactical, hunting, and competition applications.
Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Industry-standard Aimpoint Micro (T1/T2) footprint. Compatible with all standard AR-15 Picatinny top rails using the included lower 1/3 co-witness riser or low mount, as well as aftermarket high-rise optical mounts. (Note: The gold 590nm LED offers exceptional contrast against both green vegetation and desert backdrop terrain while reducing optical bloom for astigmatic eyes).
- Perform a complete firearm safety check: drop the magazine, lock the action open, and visually/physically inspect the chamber to verify zero live rounds are present.
- Unscrew the outer battery cap located on the side rotary dial, insert one CR2032 lithium battery with the positive (+) terminal facing outward, and hand-tighten the cap firmly.
- Attach the chosen mount (lower 1/3 co-witness riser or low profile) to the bottom of the optic housing using the included Torx screws torqued to 12 in-lbs.
- Place the optic onto your upper receiver’s top Picatinny rail section, ensuring adequate eye relief and receiver clearance.
- Torque the rail cross-bolt to 30 in-lbs using an inch-pound torque wrench to ensure a rock-solid, zero-holding rail interface.
- Turn the side rotary rheostat switch clockwise to select your desired brightness level and reticle mode (2 MOA Dot or 2 MOA Dot / 65 MOA Ring) prior to zeroing at the range.
