Overview

The Holosun AEMS Pro X2 is the flagship of the AEMS lineup, stacking every feature Holosun offers into one enclosed emitter package. It takes the Core X2's 50% parallax reduction and adds the Multi-Reticle System (2 MOA dot, 65 MOA circle, or both combined) and Solar Failsafe backup power that the Core model omits. The result is a fully enclosed micro sight that directly challenges the Aimpoint ACRO P-2 and EOTech EFLX in capability while undercutting both on price.

The Pro X2 is built on 7075-T6 aluminum with an MAO (Micro Arc Oxidation) surface finish — the same ceramic-hard coating used on higher-end Holosun models. A 1000G shock rating and IP67 dust/water resistance back the durability claims. The 1.1 x 0.87-inch window provides a wide field of view for both-eyes-open shooting, and the 4-post lower 1/3 co-witness mount is backward compatible with original AEMS mounting systems. Brightness covers 8 daylight and 4 night vision settings, giving dedicated NVG users more granularity than the Core X2's 2 NV modes.

For shooters who want the full Holosun feature set — solar failsafe, multi-reticle, shake awake, enclosed emitter — without stepping into the DRS-TH's thermal pricing, the AEMS Pro X2 is the top of the conventional red dot line. The $90 premium over the Core X2 buys solar backup and reticle flexibility, which for many users is worth the trade.

Key Features

Pros

  • +Full feature set: solar, multi-reticle, shake awake, enclosed emitter
  • +1000G shock rating is among the highest in the enclosed emitter category
  • +4 NV settings give dedicated night vision users better brightness granularity

Cons

  • 10.4 oz is heavy compared to open-emitter micro dots
