MRO 1X25MM 2.0 RED DOT REFLEX SIGHT Reviews & Ratings

MRO RED DOT REFLEX SIGHT

The Trijicon Miniature Rifle Optic (MRO®) is a reflex-style, sealed sight intended for use on rifles, carbines, and shotguns to provide fast target acquisition. It is designed to be used with both eyes open, providing the operator with maximum situational awareness. The large aperture and tapered light path maximizes the viewing area in such a small optic, allowing for fast target engagement – especially from non-standard shooting positions. Advanced lens coatings and electronics produce a crisp red dot. The brightness control dial on the MRO is specifically designed for ambidextrous usage. With a mid-adjustment “off” position and eight discernible brightness settings, this brightness dial allows for quick and ergonomic adjustments.

FEATURES:

FASTER TARGET ACQUISITION

Larger viewing area allows for faster acquisition and engagement with reduced “tube effect.”

AMBIDEXTROUS BRIGHTNESS CONTROL

Brightness dial is equally usable by left- or right-handed operators without having to remove hand from fire control.

EASILY ADJUSTABLE BRIGHTNESS SETTINGS

MRO models feature 8 brightness settings, including 2 night vision-compatible settings. MRO HD models feature16 brightness settings, including 4 night vision-compatible settings.

BUILT TO HANDLE THE WORST

Designed with forged 7075 housing, fully sealed construction and dry nitrogen to protect against the tough elements.

MAINTAINS ZERO

Capless design (utilizing sub-flush adjusters) eliminates lost caps, snag hazards and ensures against inadvertent adjustment or loss of zero.

Multi-coated lenses provide superior clarity and light-gathering capabilities with zero distortion for a crisp dot reticle.

Perfect tough, sharp lightweight fast

I bought the MRO for a .300 Blackout pistol. I used a Samson Evolution Rail to keep the weight down because Im mounting an OSS suppressor on the pistol. The MRO is tough, rugged and very sharp optically. The battery life is outstanding. It is waterproof and night vision compatible. There is a blue tint that is slightly bothersome but I prefer this to the Aimpoint and it is American made. My pistol fits the same niche as the MP5SD and is similarly sized but much more lethal.

This is my Second MRO - LOVE THEM!

As the title states this is now the second MRO I've bought. I sold my Aimpoint Pro and replaced it with my MRO. Half the size and weight, larger view. I highly recommend.

Unbelievable clarity and field of view

I read many reviews on the MRO and took negative comments to heart before I saw the passion of the majority that loved and bragged on it. My age and eyes compelled me to try red dot sights years ago and I have been using the Bushnell TRS-25 for years with good results. This MRO is like after eye surgery when you are astounded over the clarity difference. The lens seems non existent and combined with the superior field of view it works with superior performance. I do not see negative problems others have complained about and think Aimpoint and others will be playing catch-up for years copying the larger field of view superiority in Trijicons MRO. One happy camper here !

Don't believe the negative reviews

At work, I use an issued T2. At home, I have an MRO. I bought the MRO instead of the Aimpoint because of the price difference alone. Lo and behold, I actually prefer the MRO. Quality is top notch, but that is to be expected. The wider field of view makes the dot easier to acquire, whereas with the Aimpoint, there is less room for error when aligning your eye behind the scope (depending on how consistent your presentation is, the Aimpoint's dot can get "lost" when bringing the rifle up). This is far less likely to happen with the MRO. The review about the lens being cross threaded is inaccurate. The glass is supposed to be like that. It's the same on the Aimpoints.

MRO

I purchased this 9 months ago and could not be happier! Optic is clear and dot is crisp. I mounted on my 50 Beowulf. So far it has held it's zero. No complaints. I will order another one for other builds.

Reliable

Adjustment knob is on the top, strange that many others haven't thought of doing the same. Also, it's cheaper and just as good if not more so than Aimpoint's T1/2.
