Significantly reduced battery life which is one of the MRO selling points. Haven’t seen much traction on it

How long does the red dot battery last? If it’s like 5 years I could care less that the green dot is 20% worse.

I don't get it. Is green for people who live in the desert?
I had an ACOG with a green reticle once and it sucked, because all the foliage outside (you know, where shooting is usually done) is also green. Red reticle is much easier to pick up IMO. |

They say green is easier for the human eye. I'm so used to red I'd got that route even if battery life was equal. Green at 20% makes it very unattractive

The above ignores that their green tritium specifically is rated to be bright longer. That is an objective benefit, though their tritium is also both a minor selling point and illumination source. |

I see that Trijicon is coming out with an MRO green dot. Anyone have any interest in this over a red dot?  Anyone know when these are going to hit the street, Trijicon states late summer? I see the pricing may be significantly more than the red version.

I did get a smoking deal. I would love to see a US made optic with eotech style circle dot reticle in green. I am not buying a holosun! Quote HistoryQuoted:

Designed for day and night use, New advanced technology LED allows up to 50,000 hours of operation on one CR2032 battery. The Holosun green dot. If you want green, maybe the GU elite is what you're looking for. It's what I got. The HS503GU-ELITE features a green circle dot reticle. G signifies that the battery is in a round, screw-on turret on the outside of the optic. U signifies a housing design that shrouds the windage and elevation turrets on two sides. Employing new LED technology, the life time for one CR2032 battery can reach 2 years if left on constantly on setting 10 of 12. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Holosuns can take a beating. The factory mounts just suck. So that adds about $70-80 to it. Trijicon needs to make a MRO with ACSS reticle or something. If a product works, I'll use it. US made is just a bonus. |
