Which model: the 507K-X2 series page lists a red MRS version (HS507K-X2-RD, the one we compare) and a green MRS version (HE507K-X2-GR, on its own Holosun page). We read the red page only. Holosun prints a price on both pages; we list none. Window and body dimensions are printed in the order shown; Holosun does not label which number is length or width in the window figure.
