That's a good deal. Wish I had seen this before ordering the MRO for $414 with a low mount I won't use. Ordered a LaRue mount anyway so probably could have saved $30 overall. Anyway, I've had it mounted with the low mount (it's a really low nose to the handle mount) just to check it out. Quite pleased with it. Thinking about a second one before prices go up.

I was thinking about picking up the co wit deal from kygun and then just buying the LaRue mount. That way I had a 1/3 and co. Basically would cost like $20 more to have both mounts. But I don't really see the need I guess since I'd prefer the qd anyways. |

You can get a better feel for how long the wait is. |

Order placed. LaRue forward cant mount with mro combo. $517 shipped direct from LaRue. Happy enough with the price. It's like I paid $400 for the unit. $110 for mount. 7 shipping. I'm more excited for the swag as this is my first order from LaRue.

I got to try a MRO this weekend. I didn't notice the red glare and the blue tint wasn't bad or distracting. I did notice it was blurry around the edges. Is that normal?

I recieved my MRO two weeks ago. I wear glasses and these are things I noticed. They may differ for people that do not wear glasses. I'm near sighted (images are blurry at longer distances).
Everything is exaggerated indoors is my first disclaimer. I feel this is because of the lighting/ shadows mostly and there is just more going on outdoors to see/ distract you. I noticed the red glare indoors but did not really notice it outdoors. I noticed the very slight blurred edges indoors, I had to really look for it. Outdoors, it was non existent. The MRO is much smaller than I thought it would be even after looking at a lot of pictures mounted on rifles. I thought it was a very fast on target RDS. The dot is not perfect but it is good. This could be because I wear glasses. My unit has an easily noticeable magnification. I see a double image unless I really concentrate on focusing on the target I'm aiming at. Imagine forcing your eyes to cross, see a double image. I could see this causing really bad eye fitigue for me. I feel like the last three observations could be because I wear glasses. Curious to here others opinions/ reviews that wear glasses and are near sighted. I really want to like this RDS but it may not work for me. I have a 13k serial number. I may exchange mine to see if another will have the same issues. I bought mine from Optics Planet and it looked to be NIB. Battery was sealed ad not installed and no marks on the battery compartment like I easily put on it being very careful. |

I didn't notice any blur. Blur was also something I wasn't looking for. I'll probably noticed it now like the red tint lol... Small cons to me though. I love the sight overall. Awesome paired with a Samson 3.5x |

You will get that 'double image' with all red dot sights if you keep both eyes open. Close one eye and it goes away. Red glare happens on red dot's when there is back lighting. Same with my Aimpoint PRO. While I think the MRO does it more, there's still no impact to function. Don't think the quality of the dot is any different from any other scope. |

If you notice a blur it's most likely attributed to astigmatism.

The edge around the lens was fuzzy/blurry. I had no problems using it for a few mags. I was just curious as I have only ever seen one in person. The guy who owned it was planning on replacing it with a T1. Hopefully I will run across another to see if it's the same. |

FYI I just ordered one from Larue. 2-5 week estimated wait time. I could've found it in stock and cheaper but I'm a Texan they're in Texas and I like the way they do business. After I squirrel up from this purchase I'm going to try out their new 30cal suppressor. |

Picked up mine finally at a LGS. A bit over priced, but the benefit of the pre-purchase hands-on is crucial imo, and I like to support my LGS's. The glass and the dot was noticeably clear and defined, which was the first thing that crossed my mind as I looked through the tube. Its got a "19..." in the beginning of the serial number. Their other MRO offering started with a "20..."
Mine was packaged with a cowitness mount, but I usually prefer 1/3 aka socom height (might try to find a swap). |

I've seen a lot of threads for T1s and PROs arriving DOA or that just quit working regardless of a fresh battery and nobody makes a stink. Just "contact Aimpoint they'll make it right", yet in here it's a whole different story

I was sure to list that it was my one MRO that I recieved that had these issues. I also listed where I noticed some of the issues (indoors and that some of the issues were non existent when outdoors) and how they may not be the same for other people. |

I recieved my MRO two weeks ago. I wear glasses and these are things I noticed. They may differ for people that do not wear glasses. I'm near sighted (images are blurry at longer distances). Everything is exaggerated indoors is my first disclaimer. I feel this is because of the lighting/ shadows mostly and there is just more going on outdoors to see/ distract you. I noticed the red glare indoors but did not really notice it outdoors. I noticed the very slight blurred edges indoors, I had to really look for it. Outdoors, it was non existent. The MRO is much smaller than I thought it would be even after looking at a lot of pictures mounted on rifles. I thought it was a very fast on target RDS. The dot is not perfect but it is good. This could be because I wear glasses. My unit has an easily noticeable magnification. I see a double image unless I really concentrate on focusing on the target I'm aiming at. Imagine forcing your eyes to cross, see a double image. I could see this causing really bad eye fitigue for me. I feel like the last three observations could be because I wear glasses. Curious to here others opinions/ reviews that wear glasses and are near sighted. I really want to like this RDS but it may not work for me. I have a 13k serial number. I may exchange mine to see if another will have the same issues. I bought mine from Optics Planet and it looked to be NIB. Battery was sealed ad not installed and no marks on the battery compartment like I easily put on it being very careful. This might be a little misleading to someone considering one of these. Don't see blurred edges on mine. Might if I tested for it like a camera lens or high end binocs. The magnification is very slight and has no bearing on actual usability. You will get that 'double image' with all red dot sights if you keep both eyes open. Close one eye and it goes away. Red glare happens on red dot's when there is back lighting. Same with my Aimpoint PRO. While I think the MRO does it more, there's still no impact to function. Don't think the quality of the dot is any different from any other scope. Not sure how my observations are misleading. Everything I stated is true for the one sample MRO unit I have recieved. I don't get the exaggerated "double image" with any of my other RDS sights that I own or have used such as my Meprolight, my Primary Arms T1 clone, my Aimpoint T1, my friends Aimpoint Pro or my cheap Bushnell 1-4 scope with illuminated dot when I have both eyes open which is how I shoot all my RDS sights or my Scopes on 1 power. I don't think it's misleading but I do want to make sure people read it for what it is which I highlighted. It's a sample of one. There are definitely a couple dozen units affected by some of those issues but relatively speaking it's a fraction of a percentage. I've seen a lot of threads for T1s and PROs arriving DOA or that just quit working regardless of a fresh battery and nobody makes a stink. Just "contact Aimpoint they'll make it right", yet in here it's a whole different story It's almost like we're in the Larue forum, you can't say anything bad about the MRO.

I was sure to list that it was my one MRO that I recieved that had these issues. I also listed where I noticed some of the issues (indoors and that some of the issues were non existent when outdoors) and how they may not be the same for other people. It's a phenomenon that gets repeated over and over across multiple forums. People get emotionally invested in the optics they've chosen. Anything negative said about them is usually met poorly. Most of the time, such as in this thread, it is civil but sometimes it can lead to threads going downhill fast. The issues mentioned above have been documented many times by many different users with many different MROs. It all boils down to how a particular individual's eyes work with the optic. I had these issues myself with it to the point where using the optic gave me a headache. I sold it locally to someone who has enjoyed it ever since. I tried another one to make sure it wasn't that particular unit and had the exact same results. The owner of that one uses it and is just fine. I've stated in multiple threads (including this one) that this optic boils down to the user. Go buy one and try it. If it works for you, and it most likely will, then you've got a great optic for a good price. If it doesn't work for you then sell it for a small loss. I think I lost $25 with mine, which is a small price to pay to know what works for me and what doesn't. |

I haven't read all 44 pages yet but would this be a good choice to put on my Vector V51 308 pistol?

I got my second mRO with the money from selling my Micro/larue mount. Serial# is 17k, with my first one being 22k.
I have an Astigmitism and these work as well for me as anything else, I obviously preferred it over my micro, but I'm good using either or and haven't noticed the major cons that others have. |

Took a chance on an MRO, didn't order a mount
 
Anyone have a leftover co-witness or lower third mount they'd be willing to sell cheaply if they've since upgraded mounts? |

I got this one about 3 weeks ago. Low S/N# 0011XX. What do you all think? This is in the shade, well, the sun is behind a cloud, and it's better when in full sun, but it's pretty freakin' blue with lots of red glare... http://s29.postimg.org/goqq7zgaf/MRO1s.jpg http://s10.postimg.org/uu1rsxc09/MRO2s.jpg http://s10.postimg.org/f9yzg4r9l/MRO3s.jpg Whats interesting is that when i look at the dot in your first picture and focus on the background my eyes dont even pick up the blue tint or red glare. But when I concentrate on the blue and red I do see them. |

But when I concentrate on the blue and red I do see them. No worries. The MRO is gone. I may try again in the future - possibly if Trijicon brings out a Gen2. Enjoying some Compact ACOG in the meantime. |

So I received my mro package today from LaRue. 0284** serial number. Here's the weird part for me. The mro looked very sealed up and untouched, but the battery was pre mounted already? The sticker seal on the side of the trijicon case hadn't been broken yet though so I'm not sure. I don't have any visual issues with the dot or viewing. Could trijicon be pre installing the batteries now since people were destroying the tabs?

So i just spoke with trijicon customer service about my mro. Batteries are now being installed from the factory starting on Jan 18. So any item that was built after that came preinstalled because so many people were breaking off the tabs. The objective lenses are also now having a bit more of a noticeable cant. They are set around the 8 o'clock position and more pronounced. This is an alteration that they've found after more testing to make the mro a "true 0 parallax free red dot". His words not mine. He was also really surprised I got my unit as fast as I did since it was built 15 days ago according to their system, 7 of which were shipping days to me.

This could explain some of the differences people are seeing that have owned an early and a late serial...

My 019xx had the battery installed and so did the other MRO on the shelf, 02xx. Also, both of the MROs (one of which I purchased) had the severely canted lense at around the 8 o'clock position, as a previous poster has mentioned.
