Holosun Paralow HS515C

About the Paralow series

Paralow is one of the red dot sight series made by Holosun. On the outside, these small tube sights are very familiar to the Micro red dot sights made by the famous Swedish red dot sight manufacturing company. The illumination is powered by a CR2032 battery. The click value for the elevation and windage adjustments is 0.5 MOA. These durable red dot sights feature a single-piece housing made out of aluminum. Altogether, there are 12 illumination intensity levels to choose from, 2 of which are NVD compatible. The battery life is 50.000 hours. The sight may be installed on rifles and various firearms such as shotguns, pistols, air rifles and crossbows.

About the model family

The 515 is one of the model families in the Paralow series. The first number '5' in its name suggests that the user can switch between a 2 MOA dot and a 2 MOA dot surrounded by a 65 MOA circle. The second number '1' implies that the product comes with upgraded accessories (honeycomb filter, quick-release mount, flip-up lens covers).

About the product (HS 515 C)
