[ARCHIVED THREAD] - RMR battery box change?

Posted: 10/9/2018 7:22:00 PM EDT

Haven't heard back from them yet.

Does anyone know if Trijicon will offer an RMR with a battery box that can be accessed without removing the optic?

It is LITERALLY the only thing keeping me from buying one over the Deltapoint....

Seeing as they only very recently came out with the Type 2 which is now SOCOM issue, I doubt it.

Why is this such a big deal? 5 minutes once a year with 15 rounds to confirm zero again.

If the battery will last for daily carry (16 hours), then I misspoke. I can get to the range once a year at best.

I guess the other concern would be thread wear taking the unit on and off repeatedly.

RMR06 can be turned off and lasts for thousands of hours.

Part of the appeal of the RMR is that it's such a small footprint, which would suffer from adding a battery box.

The RMR's battery lasts 1-2 years depending on brightness settings.

Have three RMRs, replacing batteries is two screws and loctite, done. Zero has never changed.

Didn't even need to zero the most recent RMR. Took the RMR out of the box, screwed it onto the slide and it was on target with zero adjustment.

So in summary @Cooper1 if you were not aware, the battery lasts a long time. I change it on my daughter's birthday just to be safe on my carry gun. I am another that's going on 2 years with the same battery.

You can only get to the range once a year?
