| I just got a Trijicon MRO, and I noticed there is a red glare inside of the optic whenever there is any kind of light coming in the rear lens. I had one in the past and did not remember it having this. I remember hearing about this, but can't remember if it was corrected in later models. Is this covered under warranty? |

I just ordered a new MRO with two mounts, a lower 1/3 and a low mount for $435.00 plus shipping. I could have bought another Aimpoint PRO and had change left over. I wanted something new to play with since I already have a bunch of Aimpoints.
I doubt it will be as bad as everyone makes out. I'm just not that picky about pure 1x or color tint. Being color blind I probably won't notice anything different about it. |

I bought a couple to try out but dumped them both: 1) Clunky and large obscuring FOV on rifle. 2) Fisheye effect. 3) Very noticeable green tint. 4) A very irksome magnification, not in any way a true 1x. 5) That glare you describe. Meh...Aimpoint for me. Tomac |

Strange, not one person of the dozens who have tried one of my MRO's has commented on, much less complained about, any of the so-called issues you have listed. Hmm... Tomac Quoted:

| Anyone who has used my MRO has never said anything about any of those issues.Its usually just people parroting things they read on the internet that complain about this stuff. With that being said my aimpoint will also get a glare if you have a light shining at the correct angle.Its just the nature of the optics |

Trijicon answers some of these questions on their website under the FAQ section.
Why do I see a red glint when looking through the MRO®? Like every reflex-style optic, the Trijicon MRO will exhibit some glint from the optical lens coatings when the users eye is not directly behind the optic and the dot is not centered in the field-of-view (off-axis viewing). While the amount of glint will vary depending on the orientation of the optic relative to external light sources, the MRO exhibits less of this effect than competitive optics. This phenomenon does not affect usability or performance of the optic, even in non-standard shooting positions. Why does some of the image seem shifted when looking through the MRO®? Like competitive optics, the image viewed through the Trijicon MRO becomes shifted somewhat at the edges of the field of view. This shift is a result of the design needing to have a tilted and curved objective lens to reflect the reticle dot back to the operator's eye. The image shift at the edges of the MRO's viewable area will be more noticeable than on optics with smaller objective lenses simply because of the larger viewable area. This was a trade-off in the design of the MRO in order to allow operators to see more area through the optic and thereby get faster hits on target from non-standard shooting positions. This image shift does not affect the usability or performance of the optic when properly zeroed because the reticle dot and target will still be correctly aligned. Is the MRO® magnified? The Trijicon MRO has a very slight magnification of 1.05x, which is within the range of competitive reflex-style sights. This slight magnification allows the MRO to have an optimally-focused target scene and a crisp, clear reticle dot. The slight magnification does not affect the usability or performance of the optic. |
