Holosun Reflex HE508T-RD Elite X2

About the Reflex series

Reflex is one of the red dot sight series made by Holosun. These compact sights are not closed on both sides like the Tube, Infiniti and Paralow series, which is why they are very compact and lightweight (there are some exceptions to this in the Holosun Reflex series – HS512T is closed from both sides and thus bigger while HS510C is a reflex-type red dot sight of a bigger design).

Because of their size, HS407C, HS507C, and HS508T are great for mounting on a pistol.

The illumination is powered by a CR2032 battery. The click value for the elevation and windage adjustments is 0.5 MOA. Altogether, there are 12 illumination intensity levels to choose from, 2 of which are NVD compatible. The battery life is 50.000 hours.

About the model family

The 508 is one of the model families in the Reflex series. The first number '5' in its name means that the user can switch between a 2 MOA dot; 2 MOA dot surrounded by a 32 MOA circle or a 32 MOA ring only.

About the product (508T-RD X2)

Holosun Elite 508T-RD X2 is a red dot sight of the Reflex series.

The letter 'T' means that the device is made of titanium, which makes it stronger and more durable. For this reason, 508T-RD X2 is classified as Elite.

Even though ‘C’ is missing in its name, HE508T-RD X2 features a solar panel on top of the frame that surrounds the lens.

‘RD’ indicates that this red dot sight comes with illumination in red.

The product features the ShakeAwake function. When left powered on, the device will go from 'active mode' to 'sleep mode' after a while to prevent unnecessary battery drain. Once moved, it will power back on immediately.

The ‘X2’ is the second generation of Holosun’s 508T series, which has a new button lock mode feature. Another novelty is the flat upper part of the lens frame, as the first generation has a curved one.

Holosun changed the position of the battery compartment, which is no longer on the bottom, but on the side, along with a different, CR1632 battery compartment. The buttons are placed horizontally, as they were with the previous generation, but are now bigger and placed closer together.
