The Holosun AEMS CORE X2 in gold is an enclosed-emitter rifle sight with one fixed 2 MOA gold dot behind a 1.1 × 0.87 in window, supplied with a lower 1/3 co-witness mount.
Gold sits between red and green in the spectrum and holds its contrast against pale, washed-out backgrounds — chalk, snow and light targets — where a red dot can start to disappear.
The body is aluminium with Holosun's MAO finish, rated IP67 and tested to 1000G, measuring 2.22 × 1.76 × 2.44 in and weighing 4.1 oz on its own or 5.7 oz with the 1.63 in Picatinny mount fitted. Windage and elevation move in 0.5 MOA clicks across ±50 MOA, illumination runs to 10 daylight settings and 2 for night vision, and one CR2032 gives up to 50,000 hours with Shake Awake sleeping the dot when the rifle is still.
This is the plain version of the AEMS X2 and it is priced and specified accordingly: no Multi-Reticle System, no circle, and no solar panel backing the cell. If you want a switchable circle-dot or solar support you are looking at the wrong model. What you get instead is a sealed emitter, a wide rectangular window and a single uncluttered aiming point.

What the AEMS CORE X2 Gold fits
The supplied 1.63 in mount clamps to any Picatinny rail and sets the dot for lower 1/3 co-witness with AR-height irons. The same sight with a red or green emitter is the AEMS CORE X2 red or the AEMS CORE X2 green, and the smaller housing with the Multi-Reticle System is the AEMS Micro gold.
