Sending back my second MRO on Monday. Keeping my American Defense mount for it in case Trijicon admits theY have problems and puts out a quality unit.

I definitely think the MROs I've seen would be fine on the range/in the real world, and that most people wouldn't have a problem with them if it was all they had.
The problem to me is that I've seen a T2 and know what a red dot CAN look like. But even all the RMRs I've seen (about 9 of them) have had some magnification and tint. I think it's just a matter of using them and getting used to them instead of looking for a $700 RDS in a $525 package. The FOV is nice enough to cancel out a tiny bit of magnification for a lot of people, and the tint and glare of the 3 MROs I've seen were on par with a T1/RMR. To me, because I primarily care about weight and price (and mostly reliability), it seems to fit a niche between PA/HOLOSUN > MEPRO RDS > MRO > T1 > T2. (I leave Eotechs out ever since an EXPS crapped out on me on a 22LR upper AND the MEPRO is a cheaper unit I trust more--BUT Eotechs are in there at different places for different folks.) |

Ehh.. I take that with a grain of salt; much like the forum reviews and the Youtube reviews. I've seen Tim tell it how it is on plenty of items, however you may be right on his support. My personal opinion is.. Made in USA is great with rifles/handguns/AR's and anything machined. When it comes to optics and electronics.. Over priced and quality control is just not the same as over seas.

It sucks. Maybe a lot of people get samples and want to keep getting them, so they are afraid to bad mouth people too bad. I have a sample set of one MRO that was sent to me for testing by Trijicon. Since getting it and doing my initial thoughts video, I've seen several returned to my local gun shop. I've seen two with dead dots (wouldn't power up) and two that had faint dots that were barely visible in daylight. One was sent back to Trijicon for repairs and they sent a new unit, the new unit had the same problem. The others were returned to the gun shop for exchange or a refund. I'm hoping these are early production issues and Trijicon gets the kinks ironed out quickly. With that being said, I have some concerns about the QC of these sights and the consistency in their production quality. I recently did a top 5 picks video for 2015 and the reason the MRO wasn't included is because of these issues. I do plan to make a follow-up video discussing these concerns. I was one of the first critics of the SRS and even mention that in my MRO video. The SRS was a total mess. I have high hopes for the MRO, but keep in mind my initial video was just that -- an initial impressions video of a single unit that continues to work fine. That's not representative of what people are seeing in the field it seems. I also said I wanted to get a second one to beat on to see how well it held up, I've not yet been able to get a second one. As for the color shift and slight distortion of the image through the sight, I put zero stock in any of that. Shoot it with both eyes open and the sight looks good (which is the way it was meant to be used). Every sight I own has similiar "issues" to some degree. As for the functional issues, that's totally different and I have the same concerns others do about that. |

Got to put a few rounds "on the clock" though MROs mounted on an AR and a Tavor at the Trijicon shoot last week. I'm pretty impressed. I'm thinking about picking one up for the "close-in" optic on my Open rifle.
I actually wish they would do a 4 MOA version... |

I think the sight has a lot of promise if they can work some of the kinks out I've seen. At the price point they're offering them at and with the features they have, they would be hot sellers and take a serious bite out of both the Aimpoint market and even the affordable dot makers market. The little stuff I see being repeated about them doesn't bother me and honestly it never occurred to me until I saw others bringing it up. I shoot with both eyes open and I don't sit for extended periods of time peering through red dot sights with one eye closed looking for slight color shifts or .5x magnification. I take them out, open both eyes and shoot them as intended. When used in this way the MRO works great and I honestly like the field of view. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Shooting with both eyes open is precisely when that slight magnification becomes an issue. I shoot with both eyes open also with a red dot. I think everyone does. But when you have one eye seeing true 1x and you have another seeing 1.25x (just a guess), it confuses the hell out of your (mine, at least) eyes/brain. The whole time I was going both eyes open my brain couldn't decide which to focus through. It was really distracting. It may not be a problem for you, or your example may be a lot better than mine was, but for you to basically just write that off as a non issue is a little short sighted. |

As for me writing it off, well, given I've let at least 20 people shoot with the sight on my rifle and not a single one has reported your issue I would say I have no way of predicting what conditions/issues some shooters might have. Some shooters can't use tritium sights, but that doesn't make tritium sights bad. Some shooters are left eye dominate, right handed and are forced to shoot left handed, but that doesn't make the AR15 a bad rifle just because it's not the most lefty friendly long gun on the market. I'm not going to give products low marks because a minority of users have an issue I can't predict or replicate. |

I agree with you. I have no prejudices against the MRO. I love trijicon, so if anything I might have a little of a positive bias towards them.
I'll keep watching the MRO, and if things start to turn around I'll get another one and enjoy it. |

We aren't all lucky enough to be Tim from M.A.C. and get special treatment. Some of us did have legitimate issues. My MRO had ghosting so bad that you could hardly find the dot when it was on the max brightness setting. The optic you received just happened to be one without issues (imagine that). Have somebody send you their MRO that has issues and do a review on that optic. I would gladly send you mine if I hadn't already sent two of them back. Your blissful ignorance of your industry status is why I no longer follow your channel. How about you remind us again how amazing Huntertown is?

People get used to 1.25X and do just fine with it, so I think this 1.15X (what it looked like to me) will be acceptable to some, and less so to others.
I also wonder if the magnification SEEMS more drastic at 5ft (1.25X) than 20ft (1.15X) or 100 yards (1.1X), BUT that could just be me. I've spent 30 minutes looking through 3 different units in the LGS. -- For the price, I think I could get used to it without any issues, but I understand if others can't. Again, the RMRs always seemed to have distortion as well (whereas I hear the new Deltapoint PRO is the clearest and nicest glass ever on an MRDS). |

Handled one at the gun store today, glad I cancelled my order. I like the concept but the glass is shit, magnification is distracting. I expect a lot more from Trijicon.

Received replacement this week - same issues. I really wanted it to be great. Might as well use an ACOG with BAC if we're about training our brains to overcome the optical shift/misalignment between eyes. At least an ACOG provides useful magnification. I'll stick with Aimpoint. |

I posted a few pages back about receiving an MRO from Optics Planet, and discussing with Trijicon. I will be sending my unit back to Trijicon to let them have a crack at making me happy. Went to the LGS, and they had one. I looked through it, and to my surprise there was a SLIGHT, and I mean, SLIGHT "fish eye" or magnification issue, with none of the color problems my unit exhibits. So, I'm somewhat relieved that I won't have to live with extreme tint or 1.25 or 1.1x magnification in a "properly working" MRO. I will report back to this thread with the repair or replacement story when I can. View Quote The tint is much less prevalent, now more so at the bottom getting lighter as you scan upwards. VERY slight magnification/fish eye issue. Here's the thing- I'd decided that I wasn't happy, as while I was sitting in my office looking through the optic at things inside and outside, I was getting blurring and double vision, caused, in my opinion, by my eyes trying to see something via different magnification. Then I went home, put it on a rifle in the typical upper receiver location for a 1x optic, with my stock in the normal position, and while I could slightly notice that objects in the optic appeared larger than objects through my non-sighting eye, with both eyes open, I could not get any blurring or double vision, even when moving my head. I'm going to do some comparisons over the weekend, but something about having the optic semi-fixed in distance and orientation to your eye seems to eliminate most of the problems I was having... |

It's funny how most people that have mounted and shot with it have a different opinion than most people who have only looked through it at their LGS or living room.
|

not all
I have the same feeling in my basement or on the range .(never with the aimpoint H1/T1 or with the EXPS3) The best thing is to try it and make your own opinion . But afer 20 pages about this Red dot and a lot of people saying the same thing,we can guess there are issues with some MRO |

Very sad to see these reviews. I wanted something American made to take a bite out of aimpoint's sales. So what are the best options are there for whose aimpoint's t2 pricing left out in the cold? Mepro? H1? Aimpint Pro? Primary Arms? Holusun? Maybe just save for a acog 1.5 or 3x

You can find a MRO without mount for 493$ and a T2 for 629$ with the factory low mount
For 136$ of difference,i prefere to buy a T2 . https://www.botach.com/aimpoint-t-2-2moa-micro-red-dot-sights/ |
