MULTI-RETICLE | ENCLOSED MICRO RED DOT SIGHT
The AEMS PRO X2 enclosed rifle sight delivers both-eyes-open, fast-engagement functionality with no parallax, unlimited eye relief, and twelve brightness settings — including four NV-compatible levels. Pick your reticle on the fly: crisp 2 MOA dot for precision, 65 MOA circle for fast target acquisition, or both at once. Solar Failsafe keeps the dot alive even if your battery dies — and with 50,000 hours on a single CR2032, that's a backup you'll probably never need. Shake Awake powers on when you grab the rifle and shuts off when you set it down. The forward-facing light sensor auto-adjusts dot brightness as lighting changes around you. 7075-T6 aluminum housing, anti-reflection device on the objective lens so sunlight doesn't give away your position, flip-down lens covers, and IPX8 waterproof rating.
Key Features
- Multi-Reticle System (MRS) — Switch between 2 MOA dot, 65 MOA circle, or both combined. Precision when you need it, speed when you don't.
- Solar Failsafe + Super Capacitor — Built-in solar panel and super capacitor provide backup power if the battery fails. Can run indefinitely on solar alone in daylight conditions.
- Shake Awake + Smart AUTO Mode — Motion-activated on/off with forward-facing light sensor that auto-adjusts dot brightness to match changing lighting conditions in real time.
- 7075-T6 Aluminum Housing — Aerospace-grade aluminum with anodized finish. Stronger and more corrosion-resistant than the 6061 used in most competing optics.
- Wide Enclosed Window — 1.1" x 0.87" sight window provides double the glass surface area of standard 20mm micro dots, enclosed for lens protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does Shake Awake work? A: A motion sensor detects movement and automatically turns on the dot at your last brightness setting. When the optic is stationary for 10 minutes (default), it powers off to conserve battery. Pick the rifle up and the dot is instantly on. There's nothing to press and nothing to forget.
Q: How does the Multi-Reticle System work? A: Press the reticle button to cycle through three options: 2 MOA dot only for precision shooting, 65 MOA circle only for fast acquisition, or circle-dot combined for the best of both. The 65 MOA circle draws your eye to the target area while the center dot gives you a precise aiming point.
Q: What is Solar Failsafe? A: A built-in solar panel on top of the optic provides backup power if your CR2032 battery dies. In AUTO mode, the solar cell adjusts dot brightness based on ambient light. The super capacitor stores additional charge — roughly 1,200 hours of backup runtime without battery or solar input.
Q: Will this work with a magnifier? A: Yes. The AEMS PRO X2 is designed to pair with Holosun's HM3X and HM3XT magnifiers for a 1x/3x flip-to-side system. The enclosed housing and wide sight window maintain a clear image through magnification.
Q: How is this different from an EOTech? A: Both are enclosed sights with circle-dot reticles, but the AEMS PRO X2 adds Solar Failsafe, Shake Awake auto-on, 50,000-hour battery life (vs ~1,000 hours on EOTech), switchable reticle options, and NV compatibility — at roughly half the price of a comparable EXPS3.
