City of Industry, CA – The AEMS platform has earned its place as one of Holosun’s most versatile compact rifle-optic systems, delivering full-size visual performance in a streamlined footprint. For 2026, Holosun advances that design philosophy with two new models, the AEMS-EVO and the AEMS-EVO DUAL, each engineered to meet distinct real-world shooting demands while sharing a common emphasis on clarity, durability, and intelligent adaptability.

Both optics feature an expanded 1.26 × 0.98-inch viewing window, providing enhanced situational awareness and faster reticle acquisition under recoil, during movement, or when shooting from unconventional positions. A forward-facing light sensor supports this visual upgrade by adjusting reticle brightness based on the target environment rather than ambient lighting at the shooter’s position, providing an advantage when transitioning between interior, exterior, or mixed-light conditions.

Built on rugged 7075-T6 aluminum housings with IPX8 waterproof ratings and 1000G vibration resistance, the AEMS-EVO series maintains zero through extended round counts, field use, and harsh environments. Both models utilize Holosun’s Multi-Reticle System™ (2 MOA dot, 65 MOA circle, or circle-dot) and incorporate Solar Failsafe™, Shake Awake™, and memory functionality for predictable and efficient operation across long service cycles.

Designed for shooters seeking the visual stability of a full-size optic in a compact footprint, the AEMS-EVO focuses on maximizing optical performance without increasing mass or complexity. Its refined chassis preserves the familiar AEMS profile while improving handling and ergonomics, maintaining a lower-third co-witness height on the included mount and remaining compatible with carbines, PCCs, and defensive rifles where sight height and weight are critical.

A side-loading CR2032 battery delivers up to 50,000 hours of runtime at mid-brightness settings, supported by Holosun power-management technology to ensure consistent readiness whether the optic is in daily use or staged for defensive deployment. Read more

Trijicon®, Inc., manufacturer of Brilliant Aiming Solutions™ has expanded its popular Credo™ HX riflescope line with new models designed specifically for hunters. The new 2.5-10×56, 2.5-15×42, 2.5-15×56, and 4-16×50 scopes deliver rugged durability, exceptional clarity, and fast, precise aiming in any conditions.

Credo™ HX riflescopes feature LED-illuminated reticles with ten brightness settings—five red and five green—with an “off” position between each setting for quick access and efficient battery use. Each new model is built around a second focal plane design and is available with Trijicon’s BDC Hunter Holds reticle, offering rapid hold points for various distances. Elevation adjusters are tool-less, easy to set and feature rock-solid return-to-zero, while windage adjusters are capped for added protection. The premium quality adjusters are engineered to deliver crisp, repeatable ¼ MOA clicks, ensuring precision and reliability.

Built on a 30mm tube and offering up to 100 MOA of adjustment, each new Credo HX model features fully multi-coated, broadband anti-reflective glass that delivers excellent light transmission and edge-to-edge clarity. The result is true-to-life color, sharp detail, and zero distortion—especially valuable during early morning or late-evening hunts. Large objective lenses help increase exit pupil size, enhancing low-light performance even further.

A repositionable magnification lever allows shooters to adapt quickly to changing shooting positions and rifle configurations, while easy-grip controls provide fast, intuitive adjustments in the field.

Credo HX riflescopes are tested to Military Standards and Read more

Holosun has always approached pistol optics from a shooter’s point of view: start with the problems that show up on the clock and build hardware that quietly takes them off the table. The new 507-PROMAX is a direct expression of that mindset. It is built for high-tempo shooting where split times shrink, transitions get wider, and sight tracking becomes the deciding factor. With an enlarged window, a forward-leaning sunshade, and a purpose-built Performance Reticle System, the 507-PROMAX provides competitive and performance-driven shooters with more usable information in every presentation, without adding clutter or gimmicks.

Where most pistol optics require shooters to adapt their stage plan to a fixed reticle, the 507-PROMAX allows the reticle to adjust to the shooter. At the heart of the system is Holosun’s Performance Reticle System (PRS): a precise 2 MOA center dot anchored by selectable 8, 20, and 32 MOA circles in Red, Green, or Gold. That geometry isn’t decorative; each ring becomes a visual reference that serves a specific role. A 2 MOA circle helps the eye catch sight faster on the draw and stay locked through recoil. Intermediate 8- and 20-MOA circles give the shooter indexing tools for partials, awkward positions, or fast transitions across steel arrays. On demand, the optic can be set up as a clean dot, a coarse circle, or a layered reticle that matches the stage and the shooter’s style.

The housing and window work quietly in the background to support that reticle. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum, the 507-PROMAX maintains the durability shooters expect while carving out a noticeably broader sight picture than the previous 507COMP. The 0.91 × 0.67-inch window is framed by a forward-leaning sunshade that helps cut glare and preserve contrast on the reticle in inconsistent lighting, whether that’s bright outdoor bays, artificial indoor light, or mixed environments where the shooter moves from dark to light in a single run. Weighing in at just 1.55 ounces, the optic maintains a balanced feel on the slide. It sits on the familiar RMR footprint, maintaining compatibility with pistols already cut to that pattern.

Power and controls are built for people who’d rather spend their time shooting than babysitting an optic. Read more

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.

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.”
