I was looking at Holosun red dot sights and found the model numbers somewhat cryptic. A search found this web page that seems to lay everything out logically:

https://optics-info.com/holosun-symbols-a-b-c-g-m-r5-g5-u-t-l/

So, I am posting this here in case others might find this information useful.

Very helpful, thanks!

I've been waffling between an HS510c for $300 (https://www.amazon.com/Holosun-HS510C-Reflex-Circle-Holographic/dp/B01MT5RJLD/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=hs510c&qid=1579634917&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-1) and an HE510c for $330 (https://www.amazon.com/HOLOSUN-510C-Elite-HE510C-GR/dp/B079PH36FX/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=he510c&qid=1579634922&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-2).

From the link it looks like the main differences are
HS – a Holosun standard, non-elite model. The illumination of the device is red and the housing is made of aluminum.

HE – a Holosun Elite model. ‘Elite’ indicates that the device has one or two of the following characteristics:

titanium housing
green illumination
gold illumination

Is there a way to tell from the model numbers which ones have an RMR (or Aimpoint Micro, or ACRO) footprint?

Currently, I think it's the 407, 507 and 508 lines.
