How to mount a Holosun 509T X2 on a Picatinny rail: it is a Holosun 509T enclosed-emitter reflex, so it takes a 509T-to-RMR adapter plate on an RMR Picatinny mount. Which mount to buy and the height to pick.

Fit a Holosun 509T X2 on a Picatinny rail
The Holosun 509T X2 is a Holosun 509T optic. Here is the mount that puts it on a Picatinny rail and the footprint it must match.
The Holosun 509T X2 is cut to the Holosun 509T footprint. To put it on a Picatinny rail you fit a 509T-to-RMR adapter plate on an RMR Picatinny mount: the mount carries the Holosun 509T pattern on its top and clamps the rail below, so the sight screws down to the pattern it was made for.
A mount cut for a different footprint will not take the Holosun 509T X2. Match the mount to the Holosun 509T pattern, and pick the mount height for the cowitness or heads-up hold you want on the rifle or carbine.
