City of Industry, CA – The AEMS line has consistently challenged the idea that a rifle optic must be large to feel spacious. For 2026, Holosun expands that concept with a three-model family: AEMS MACRO, AEMS MICRO, and AEMS MICRO SAR, each scaled to match different rifle roles without compromising durability or visual clarity. Instead of offering one optic and forcing shooters to adapt to it, this lineup provides proportional solutions: a wide, confident sight picture in the MACRO, a compact, agile footprint in the MICRO, and a structured alignment reticle in the MICRO SAR. Together, they deliver a range of visual architectures built on the same engineering foundation.
The AEMS MACRO anchors the family with the largest field of view. Its 2 MOA dot and 32 MOA circle reticle is engineered for shooters who rely on broad spatial awareness and rapid orientation. The large window feels natural during fast transitions, allowing the dot to remain accessible through recoil and movement without visually overwhelming the shooter. For competition or duty pistols, PCCs, carbines, and rifles where speed and openness matter most, the MACRO provides an unusually generous sight picture for an optic in this size class with superior chassis protection.
The AEMS MICRO prioritizes footprint and agility. It retains a clean glass presentation but compresses the housing for platforms where weight, mounting space, or overall balance are more critical. With the same dot and circle-dot reticle structure as the MACRO, the MICRO maintains speed while offering a tighter visual frame suited to smaller rifles or shooters who prefer a more contained optical environment. It is the most versatile of the three, being both small enough for compact builds and large enough to maintain clarity under recoil.
The AEMS MICRO SAR borrows the MICRO's chassis but introduces a more disciplined reticle system. The SAR (Sight Alignment Reticle) adds structure to the sight picture, guiding the eye into a consistent index point even when the rifle is not perfectly presented. For shooters who rely heavily on repeatability, defensive users, new shooters developing alignment habits, or those seeking a more guided optical experience, the SAR pattern offers a reticle that encourages consistency without compromising speed. It's a subtle shift, but one that changes how the shooter experiences the sight.
All three optics share the same underlying engineering: a 7075-T6 aluminum housing, Shake Awake™, memory recall, daylight- and night-vision compatible settings, and long battery life from a side-loading CR2032. The standard design language ensures that each optic behaves predictably across various conditions, while allowing shooters to choose a size and reticle philosophy that matches the firearm's role. Whether the priority is openness, compactness, or alignment discipline, the AEMS family offers a scaled approach tailored to real-world use.
