So it's September 1st, anyone get any kind of confirmation of their MRO actually shipping? I ordered mine from SWFA as soon as they put them on their page but haven't received any notification yet. I'm guessing Sept 1st was when Trijicon would be shipping them to dealers, so add a couple days for them to arrive, maybe another day for them to be put in the system and shipped out. Hope to receive mine late this week or early next. Won't do me any good though as aftermarket qd mounts are not available yet and I won't be purchasing the factory mount. |

I'll have a Aimpoint T2 here tomorrow to compare the MRO against. I'm eager to see how these compare in your opinion. I've already got a Larue Mount for the T2 (currently holding a PA optic) so the $200 price difference isn't that great for me. So the question is... why should I get a Trijicon MRO over an Aimpoint T2? |

So the question is... why should I get a Trijicon MRO over an Aimpoint T2? The T2 has an optical shift. If you zero your irons without the T2 on the rifle, they won't be zero'd after you put the T2 on. Also works in reverse. You can zero your irons with the T2 on but if you take the T2 off, your irons won't be zero'd. Another thing to consider is the warranty. While Aimpoint does offer a 10 year warranty, Trijicon is offering a lifetime on the MRO. The T2 has a higher number of brightness settings but the adjustment knob is on the right side while the MRO is on top for ambi adjustments. The MRO has a nice in-between size. Some may complain that the T2 is too small with its 20mm window but Trijicon still wanted to make a "miniature" optic so they split the difference between the micro and comp size and went with a 25mm. If this optic truly lives up to the ACOG reputation that Trijicon is claiming, Aimpoint will have to adjust their pricing according or loose a large share of the market over the next 5-10 years. While I did get a brand new T2 on sale for $625, I'm thinking I would have purchased the MRO had it been available at the time. Until they start shipping, it's all just a guess. Still waiting for a qd mount to be released... |

600 hour battery life of the MRO when turned up in brightess is still far behind Aimpoint.
Same for the T2, it's only got a 10 month battery life when turned up daylight sunny-day bright, compared to the Comp M4 which actually will run for 10+ years when sunny daylight bright compatible illumination is dialed. This along with less forgiving positioning is why I went back to full-size RDS optics, in part. However, the T2 with a G33 is still an amazing setup. When the G45 comes out, I will buy another T2 and a G45. |

Heres a couple pics showing both the Trijicon MRO and AAC Blastout. The Blastout is a forward concussion mitigation device that fits all 51T suppressor mounts. Its not available yet but will be out shortly! So far I love it!

Botach is showing a package deal on the MRO with ADM mount for $495. Trying to decide if I want to order that or the H-1 combo for $570.
As far as battery life goes trijicon's website says 5 years of continuous use on setting 5 of 8, is setting 5 not very bright? I usually keep my ml3 on 8-9 for indoor use but in reality I have no real reason for keeping it on because it stays in the safe. |

That sss blast shield looks like an exact copy of the Griffin screw down blast shield, like it looks exactly like it!! It's ceracoated instead of melonited and $50 cheaper.. It seems really nice but I can't believe they won't get sued unless they have something worked out with Griffin.
I have the Griffin one and it works great, they all seem to be very similar and do what they are supposed to. |

I didn't realize the T2 had optical shift, but if that's related to parallax, I'm betting the MRO will have about the same (I dunno if the shorter lens distance would help or hurt). Oddly, my Holosun 503C shot fist-size groups at 100Y and the sights (sighted with it off) shot the same group size in the same spot sighting through the sight (though the parallax shift didn't settle down until 50Y--at 25Y and in it was off a bit to the left.

Surefire has one coming too, and Ferfrans is the one that started this thing. It happens. I ordered the ADM/MRO combo from botach, we will see when it ships. Can't wait for other companies to make mounts since thats the first thing I'll replace. |

To me, the T2 has NO discernible tint, however, the Trijicon definitely has some (which can even be viewed in pics and videos--scroll back to the bottom of page 2). It is a bit lighter tint than the T1s I think.

On a bright, sunny day, setting 12 of 16 on my Comp M4 is EASILY visible.
On a bright, sunny day, setting 8 of my T2 was NOT! easily visible, and I needed to move to setting 10. This means my M4 has 10 years of operational life, while my T2 has as little as 10 months. How was the Trijicon MRO, on setting 3, in bright sunlight? Turning it up a bit drops battery life to 25 days... |

Trijicon has not exactly had strong showings in the battery powered 1x realm (Tri-power, SRS) and the MRO (at this time) lacks the track record the micro series has demonstrated over past 8 years. T1 street price is only slightly above the MRO but agree the T2 is priced very high.
I hope the MRO does well since competition is good - I'll just wait for results of real world use as opposed to the gushing unboxing reviews. I'm still using the M3 fwiw ... 30mm ftw!

Terrific review. Definitely can see how the 25mm objective makes a big difference.

Terrific review. Definitely can see how the 25mm objective makes a big difference. I'd like a video review showing the camera POV moving around the Eyebox of the T2 and the MRO from a normal "as mounted" POV distance. I saw one comparing a Z6i to a Razor HD optic once, and you can REALLY see the size of a usable eyebox demonstrated in this manner. The only thing better, and not by much, is actually running the gun with the various optics, but this does provide a good example of eyebox over the 'net. |

Make no mistake, this review is not biased in any way, if the MRO had performed poorly or for any other reason deserved a negative review, it certainly would of gotten one. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Trijicon has not exactly had strong showings in the battery powered 1x realm (Tri-power, SRS) and the MRO (at this time) lacks the track record the micro series has demonstrated over past 8 years. T1 street price is only slightly above the MRO but agree the T2 is priced very high. I hope the MRO does well since competition is good - I'll just wait for results of real world use as opposed to the gushing unboxing reviews. I'm still using the M3 fwiw ... 30mm ftw! Make no mistake, this review is not biased in any way, if the MRO had performed poorly or for any other reason deserved a negative review, it certainly would of gotten one. Didn't mean it that way - just that one of the most important charastics or a red dot is durability - one that Aimpoint is without compare in the powered 1x realm. Only time and testing will tell if the MRO can hang with the micro series. Declaring the MRO the new king is a bit premature. |

Thanks for the review. The MRO looks like a great sight that I will certainly keep an eye on.
