 Dual-Laser Capability in a Compact Reflex Platform: The Holosun ARO-EVO DUAL

City of Industry, CA – The ARO-EVO DUAL brings together the speed of an open reflex sight with the added versatility of integrated visible and infrared lasers, creating a hybrid aiming system suited for modern carbines, PCCs, and compact rifle builds. Designed for shooters who need an optic that can function across daylight, transitional lighting, and night-vision environments, the ARO-EVO DUAL expands capability without adding weight or taking up rail space. Its compact profile and clear viewing window allow shooters to maintain situational awareness, while the onboard lasers deliver alternative aiming solutions that activate instantly when conditions demand them.

At the center of the sight is Holosun’s selectable 2 MOA dot and 65 MOA circle-dot reticle, giving shooters a fast, intuitive reference point for close-range work or a clean dot for more precise shots at distance. Integrated visible green and IR lasers extend the system’s usefulness into low-light and night-vision applications, providing aiming options when environmental conditions or shooting positions may compromise optical sighting.

EOTECH Launches the OGL-C Commercial Laser System

EOTECH is proud to introduce the OGL-C. This commercial variant provides all the features and benefits of the standard OGL but with eye-safe visible and IR lasers and IR illumination.

 

Available in either Black or Tan, the OGL-C can be mounted on any side of the rifle’s handguard, but the primary position is on the top rail. Ample separation between the lasers and the IR illuminator ensures no interference with front iron sights. Only slightly larger than a deck of cards, the housing incorporates strategic cuts and channels to reduce unnecessary weight.

“We are excited to get the consumer friendly OGL out into the market” said Mark Miller, EOTECH Product Manager. “This product was designed and developed with ergonomics in mind, as well as a feature set that is sure to satisfy the more sophisticated tactical user.”

Stacked vertically on the front of the OGL-C are the visible and IR lasers. Both lasers are co-aligned and share windage and elevation adjustments, making the zeroing procedure easy. Positioned on the other side is an adjustable illuminator that provides quick beam divergence from a close-range flood to a long-range spot using the sliding adjustment lever. Powered by (1) CR123 battery, the 515-nanometer green visible laser is 6 times easier to see than red lasers and offers .5 milliwatts of power on HIGH. It’s 850-nanometer IR laser provides almost .7 milliwatts at high power. And finally, the 850-nanometer IR illuminator can quickly shift from an approximate 105 MRAD flood to an approximate 30 MRAD beam. Both the lasers and illuminator come equipped with lens covers that provide diffusion.

Vortex Introduces AMG 1-10×24 FFP Riflescope

BARNEVELD, WI- Born from the standards of elite military units, the AMG® 1-10×24 delivers high-power magnification and optical clarity to compact, short-barreled carbines — leaving rail space for thermal attachments, lasers, offset red dots, and backup irons.

British SAS, Royal Marines, and U.S. SOCOM units set the baseline for zero retention, optical performance, and extended operational durability. Over years of testing, Vortex® engineers pushed the AMG® 1-10×24 against those standards until it exceeded every requirement.

The result is the most advanced optical and mechanical system Vortex® has engineered in an LPVO.

“The project started when the UK Ministry of Defense asked for an optic that didn’t exist and nobody else would make,” says Andy Haffemann, Vortex® Advanced Design Manager. “Over years of iterations, failed prototypes — hundreds of lenses turned to dust through recoil testing — we refined every detail through connections at UK Ministry of Defense and U.S. Special Operations Command until it met their combined expectations.”
