Product reviews for Trijicon 1x25 MRO - 2.0 MOA Adjustable Red Dot w/Lower 1/3 Mount

Very cool product!!

Love it!!

Great FOV ...doesn't tube , clear dot and glass...light weight...love it

The dot is a little clearer than my T1 when using a magnifier, but still a little blurry.  
There is enough distortion from 1x from the glass that when trying to shoot with both eyes open I see an overlapping second image.  I have to squint my left eye to get it to go away to make precise shots.
I guess I will have to try a T2 next.

Outstanding quality, great price, quick delivery - I am very pleased/impressed.

Excellent red dot. I've tried them all over the years and this is as good as the aim point T1 in my opinion but has better field of view. At this price it is a no brainer.

Aweasome optic for the money. Much better value compared to aimpoint h1 and t1 and I own all three. Some hate the slight tent...but it is barely noticable

Over the years I've owned and used numerous Aimpoints, Eotechs, Trijicons, Meprolights, etc. All have had their strengths and weaknesses with much of the decision-making process coming down to which features are most important (price? battery type/life? FOV through the optic? weight? size? NV compatibility? etc). The new Trijicon MRO is obviously designed to compete directly w/Aimpoint's small/light Micro optics, being somewhat larger but still weighing only 5.88oz w/the factory 1/3 cowitness mount. However, the MRO differs in a couple of important ways. The larger objective lens provides a 44% greater FOV when looking through the optic, the brightness control is placed on top so it's ambidextrous, the brightness control has a 2nd 'off' position well-located between the daytime levels of '2' & '3' (so you don't have to cycle up through every level starting from the lowest NV setting just to get a visible reticle) and the W/E adjustments aren't capped (so no caps to lose over time). Battery life is excellent at 50K hrs at setting '3' & 600 hrs at ultra-bright setting '6', '4' should be appx 10K hrs and '5' appx 2K hrs. I find setting '3' to be adequate for overcast days, dim rooms or night use w/a 500 lumen weapons light. Switch tension seems a little tight, but that's subjective and I'd rather have it a little too tight than a little too loose (this and the switch's location help prevent accidental changes in brightness from the switch rubbing against your gear). Care should be taken to not bend or break any of the 12 spring battery contacts when installing the battery, but I encountered no difficulties. I've read complaints about slight magnification, lens tint, reflections & image shift and I encountered all of these in both my MRO's *if I look for them* (it should be noted that the Aimpoint Micros have these as well according to independent testing but may not be as obvious due to the Micro's smaller objective lens). However, when shooting and focusing on my target, I am completely unaware of any of these so-called problems, and that's what is important to me. Any optic with an objective lens has an optical 'sweet spot' so I suggest experimenting w/the MRO at different locations to determine which is best for you. For me, that's as far back as possible which has the added benefit of maximizing FOV through the optic (which makes finding the reticle faster & easier when shooting from awkward positions with sloppy cheekweld). An unexpected optical bonus for me was the sharpness & clarity of the reticle. I have astigmatism and found the MRO's reticle to be less distorted than any of Aimpoint's or Eotech's offerings. Bottom line is you get legendary Trijicon toughness, a lifetime warranty, increased FOV, a well-thought-out ergonomic control setup in an optic that's not much bigger/heavier than the Aimpoint Micro's for hundreds less. 5 stars in my book!

Exception build quality and optics. However not sure why this seller is asking more than 3 time MSRP for it.

Wow! This red dot is something else. The dot is very bright and crisp. The brightness adjustment knob/battery compartment is in the perfect place. The zero adjustment turrets have positive clicks. The price is right and is considerably more afordable than the Aimpoint T1, H1, T2 or H2. The size of the front facing lens (objective lens) makes it a pleasure to look through. There is no tube effect. This optic is produced in the same manor as most if not all of the other Trijicon optics; forged from Aluminum. And we all know or have heard of how strong a Trijicon Acog or RMR are. On my Arsenal SAM7R 7.62X39 AK Pattern rifle I get about 1.5" groups at 50yds. This will be the only Microdot that I will ever buy for a rifle. I would recomend it to anyone who wants a quality micro red dot. On a side note: It is shipped with a nice padded hard box, lens cloth, decal, manual, registration card, and a small product catalog and a battery for the optic.

Trijicon's new Red Dot is great! I've fired this on an AK-47 and AR-15 and I'm very impressed. It is robust and has a great field of view.

Trijicon did an awesome job with the MRO. Great field of view, and dot is sharp. Slight blue tint looking through the glass, but negligible. Easy of control. Love this optic.

Great optic; not perfect battery insertion. Slight color intrusion but this is little different from other high end optics. Very minor magnification; not an issue (and maybe better for my older eyes). However, I bent and broke off one of the battery contacts while loading the battery despite being very careful; if you look across other reviews of other heights of this optic you will find others had this issue too. Still works great with 11 of 12 contacts but in 3-5 years when I have to replace the battery I worry that if 2 or 3 are missing it might not work so perfectly. I have lots of other high end optics; this is as good as all other re-dots for less money except for the battery issue.

Excellent

Happy

Great optic.....

Although I've never owned an Aimpoint red dot - so I can't make the comparison, but this little sight is wonderful...the eye relief is astonishing - you can see the objective clearly from 12 inches or more. The dot is clear and crisp at all brightness settings. The manufacturing quality is excellent.

I like it. I think this is a great go to the range optic/ CQB. On a sunny day it will wash out on setting 3. Bump it up to 4 and it will be perfect. I am a bit disappointed that setting 3 isn't good enough for outside but thats really the only con. Frankly I also have an ACOG and after getting that I would say i'm spoiled.

so far so good. i highly recommend this product

Was just sold a used Tijicon MRO-C2200003 2.0 MOA, contacting Trijicon now. Battery was already installed and dead and scratches on top. This is a disgrace it was sold this way. I am from Michigan originally and was told of Trijicon high standards. I am blown away. Please replace my product with a new Trijicon MRO. Like i PAID for.

mro worked when I installed the battery, but the night before I took it to the gun range, it wouldn't turn on. Tested new battery, tried everything I could think of and had no luck with this product. Returned it for a refund.

I had an Aimpont Pro mounted on my AR before replacing it with the MRO. So far i have enjoyed the MRO much more than the Aimpoint. When shooting i have not really noticed the two knocks on this optic which is slight magnification and color intrusion. The only minor hiccup I have had with the MRO is related to the mount it came with not the optic itself

Offload the clunker standard factory mounts, better yet, buy it without any factory mount options, and go with the LaRue thin bracket QD mount (LaRue Part # LT849) and this setup is an absolute WINNER! The QD mount will make this MRO a 1/3 co-witness with the added benefit of fast removal for BUIS use whereas the Trijicon factory mounts are Allen-screwed to the rail and not so easily removable. The MRO represents the latest technological use of crystal clear optics and bang-on accuracy. For best use, don't forget to keep BOTH eyes open when using this, it is a red-dot, not a scope.

ReD dot was a jumble of jagged lines. Forced to send it back on my dime

I RECOMMEND THIS SIGHT.

I really love the MRO now. I'm switching to these exclusively to replace larger red dots.

The dot on this sight is very clear and at only 2 moa it makes aiming at longer distances a bit more comfortable. The field of view is excellent. With both eyes open you can barely see the sight body. This makes transition from left to right much easier. I would like to tell you how long the 2032 battery life is but after leaving it turned on the last few weeks it still hasn't died. Great sight for the money. Thanks Trijicon.

I have the Trijicon MRO mounted on my Sig MPX. The glass is clear all the way to the edges. I’ve accidently dropped it several times on concrete and still holds zero. Sight adjustments are audible and tactile. Any 1/4 inch flat head object will do for adjustments. On my last range day with my MPX, I left the MRO on its highest setting (I live in the desert) for about a month. I'm going to leave it on its number 6 setting and I'll leave an update on how long it lasts since at this point there is no going back. Trijicon says that the battery last for about 5 years on setting 3, so I guess I'll see how long until it dies on its highest setting. Thermal shift is an issue for me when my RDO's go from A/C in a vehicle to 120 F at my range (ALL RDO's HAVE A THERMAL SHIFT!). I average about a 2 MOA shift at 50 yards (Federal HST JHP 124grn) which is on par with my other Aimpoint, Trijicon and MEPRO TRUDOT RDO's. So far the MRO hasn't failed to hold zero. See you in another 6 months or so.

Trijicon what else do you need to say it's the best you can get nothing else comes close this thing is unbelievable

All I can say is....SWEET!!! Put it on a custom Wilson Combat AR15 and shooting two eyes open is just the best. It was on the paper at 50 yards with a brand new barrel I was breaking in. After breaking in, it took 8 rounds to get it in the middle. The elevation/windage adjustments are soft and easy. You really have to pay attention, there is not discernible "click". This was a great choice. Mounted it with a LaRue Tachtical camlock mount...MORE SWEET!

This is an excellent alternative to the Aimpoint reddot and so far has exceeded my expectations. Built like a brick sh-it house.

Excellent, as expected from Trijicon

If you are thinking about this or a few others i recommend the MRO. 2 MOA dot is perfect even out a few hundred yards, huge field of view and easy to see with both eyes open.

There was and still is so much potential.  Everything you read online is true about this optic. It's not a true 1x, the red glare is very much visible and the battery tabs suck.  I wanted to love this optic but couldn't.  I could deal with everything but the 1.1x magnification. To some, that extra .1 magnification may not effect them, but it did me, so much that it gave me a headache.  

Plus side, this thing is built like a tank.  The field of view is amazing compared to my H1.  The dot is crisp, the adjustments are easy, and the price is oh so right...

I hope Trijicon makes it a true 1x because they will take the market by storm...

Similar to other red dots except it eliminates the tube effect--something that really irritates me.  Personally, the superior field of view equates to better situational awareness and faster target acquisition.  It's very solidly built, and the glass is exceptionally clear.  It does have the slight "1.1x" magnification, but I don't mind it at all.  I have also noticed the red glare others refer to, but it's only from very specific angles and I don't consider it significant.  

Solid optic. Provides a nice compromise between compact size and wide objective. I appreciate the speed at which I am able to pickup and transition between targets. The optic is definitely rugged and a value at the price that it is offered.

While some claim it is a 1.1x magnification, I think it's less than that when compared to another optic that I have that is 1.1 - 4x magnification. While it isn't true 1x, I would say it is closer to 1.05.

Purchased here on DSG Arms and received pronto with great service.

Best optic for the money. Will only be using these from now on.

Unless you're a living room commando that doesn't get out and do real training this optic might be for you. This optic is definitely not perfect, but then again, which one is?.

Trijicon is a great company and the mro doesn't disappoint. Very crisp dot. So easy to see in any light situation. Looks incredible on my AR10.

Clear as can be , large view. My dept carries the t2's il take the mro over them any day

Very clear, very durable and very easy to use. Didn't have a problem with the prongs breaking off, didn't have a problem with glare or a tint issue. Really happy with the product.

No issues since purchase, works great. Outstanding sight for taking up so little real estate. Highly recommend.

Did a bunch of research and I'm pleased with this optic beyond my wildest imagination. Give it a shot!

Bought this with my refund from Eotech. It's a great upgrade.

Love it!

First impression, it looked bigger on YouTube. Overall it looks solid, has a small form factor, and fits well on any rail I've put it on. With the current mount, it sits too low to be used with any backup sights on an AR. There is a slight magnification, not a true 1x optic. To me that provides a nice clear view of my target. As soon as my Ultimak M9 and RS AK306 arrive I will update this review for Yugo NPAP customers. Compared to the Aimpoint, the money saved with this optic allows you to buy additional required mounts for your intended rifle platform. Update Nov 2016: For me , the MRO works best with the RS Regulate mount. I've put about 1000 rounds through this. No point of aim, point of impact shift. The MRO night vision settings work well. Still impressed with this optic.

So perfect!! This replaced recalled Eotech equipment and wow o wow what a difference. The dot on the Trijicon is noticably more crisp and precise than on the Eotech and when looking through a magnifier it just gets better. The optic itself is a lot more compact and less bulky than my old Eotech EXPS2 and just feels better overall. I used my Eotech magnifier to sight it in and it places shots imo better than the Eotech did because of how crisp the dot. I can't say enough good about this thing it's really a nice little red dot. update: after using this sight for about two hours I didn't want to look through it anymore due to feeling slightly nauseous because of the very light mamagnification that makes it uncomfortable to shoot with both eyes open. It's a perfect dot with a 3x magnifier and zeros perfect but without the magnifier the slight magnification just starts to bug me while using it. I really like the size of this thing and the dot is just unreal compared to others that I own but I just can't take the magnification difference with both eyes open. As much as I want to be completely in love with this thing I can't and have to return it.

Great. Tough, accurate and reliable zero.

I bought mine through Impact Guns and found that the dot was not a round dot but rather sort of a short squiggle as seen through a star filter. I sent it back to Trijicon and they said it met there QA standards but sent me another one anyway. When I got that one I found that the not only was the dot pretty much the the same but it now had a strong blue tint along the lower right edge. It also looked used. I suppose it is quite functional but I am disappointed and a little depressed. I suppose that in the future I will only buy items like this if I can handle and examine the exact unit I am buying first even though it will likely be more expensive that way.

After much research, I dropped the dime and picked me up one of these. It is as good as folks say. I am very happy with it. Installed on an AR with a MI QD mount...1/3 co-witness...great combo!

Trijicon has a solid reputation as an optics company and I had read some reviews on their MRO prior to making my purchase. The MRO did not disappoint. The wider objective lens and large brightness adjustment dial were nice features and the price point is unbelievable given that this is a Trijicon product. If you're in the market for a red dot, I highly encourage you to give the MRO serious consideration.

oh yeah baby!

This product is a fake! Trijicon has confirmed the serial number is fake.

Great optic. I've left in on setting 4 for months now, never turning it off, and still going strong. Buy it.

About half the length of Aimpoint PRO. No lens covers though. Adjuster knobs are recessed, rather than covered, so don't bang it around too much. Windage and elevation adjustments are not as tactilely crisp as the PRO or ACOG. I have to use the tick marks (clearly visible) to count the clicks. Clear picture, with a faint hint of blue. Red dot is precise, adjustable from very dim to very bright. Objective lens is a bit larger than ocular lens, so that combined with the unit's shorter length lessens the feel of looking through a tube. The finish on the body is matte black (almost dark gray); has a few tiny pock marks that may appear like blemishes but that's just how it is (not a defect).

It's a Trijicon. I love it! I have extended my previous review from December 2016 because I have purchased my second MRO, my second ACOG TA31 and my first RMR Type 2 adjustable LED these last few days, not mentioning the night sights, HD iron sights I have in my handguns. I stand for Trijicon as they have the best sights and optics ever and also because it is a matter of live and death. with this being said, I am trusting my life to Trijicon. So my best tip is: Train, train, train as your life depends on it. The ACOG and the RMR (45 degrees) are going together as main and backup sights on my new project. New update, my “new” MRO was an open box sold as new. Beware of some sellers offering big sales on opened boxes and showroom items. I’m waiting for another MRO, it will be a Patrol version, I will keep you posted soon.

Difficult to install...Works great!!!

Absolutely love this sight. Bummed I didn't just buy it straight from larue though. It's cheaper there.

thanks

Very disappointing. I returned the first one. It had a very blue tint and optically the images "rippled" as I panned left or right. The second one was better but I returned that one too.

This is a rugged, brilliant optic. Aimpoint is an excellent MRO, but I'm not sure it has anything on the Trijicon.

Exactly what I thought it would be. high quality, perfect finish, does what it's supposed to do. Dot looks round even with my astigmatism. Mounted it on a Larue Tactical QD lever mount for use on my Ruger SR556 and other AR15's, and Ruger 10/22's/ ....Chris

A steal at this price

I'm planning on buying another one soon. Best red dot you can buy!

Having owned my MRO for about 10 months now, I definitely feel it's a good optic for the money and am generally happy with my purchase. Having heard of some of the QC issues on this model, I was definitely a bit hesitant at first, but mine has performed very well so far and have a lot of confidence in Trijicon that they stand behind their products. All that being said, the MRO is not a perfect red dot and if you are seriously interested in purchasing it, there are a few things you should know about it beforehand. If you can live with these issues, then you will probably be very happy with it. Bluish Hue: The optical clarity of the MRO is quite excellent, just like every other Trijicon optic I've used, but when shooting with both eyes open, there is a slight, but noticeable bluish hue to the lens. I have however found this coloration is more noticeable indoors than when used in natural light outdoors. Though I personally prefer a more colorless optic, I don't think it's an issue and hasn't adversely affected the function of the optic on any practical level. Magnification: For me, this is the biggest con of the MRO and something that caught me by surprise when I first tried it. This optic has a very, very slight, but noticeable amount of magnification to it. When shooting with both eyes open, the closer you are to the target, the more noticeable the magnification becomes. On a practical level, it doesn't really affect function for me, though if I were using it more in very close quarters, I might have more of an issue with it. Regardless, for $500 +/-, it's a little disappointing considering I've used Holosun optics that were less than half the cost of the MRO that didn't have these issues, are perfectly clear and close to, if not as durable. Glare: Yes. In certain situations there is some glare to this optic and if you crank up the brightness too much in darker spaces, you will notice this, and in some cases, a halo effect. Glare will also be an issue when exposed to direct sunlight. Part of this I attribute to the large objective and feel that's just a price you pay, although I imagine some of it may be reduced with the use of a kill flash. Regardless, when using the correct brightness settings for your environment, most of these potential issues shouldn't give you any problems. Lens covers: There are not a whole lot of options for lens covers for the MRO and the ones you can find are severely overpriced in my opinion. Fortunately, I found a tip online that suggested the Butler Creek #17 for the front objective and sure enough, it works great! Highly recommended. Summary: Overall I definitely like my MRO very much. But if you're seriously in the market for one, I would strongly suggest trying it out first before buying and especially, comparing it to other red dots like the AimPoint Micro as there are distinct Pros/Cons to each that will likely influence your preference. Lastly, unless you are LEO or Military, I would also suggest also comparing it to some of the Primary Arms / HoloSun optics offer some very competitive options at less than half the cost.

Works perfectly and easy to install

A great little RDS!!

Best red dot sight on the market today. Much better than my EOTech (holds zero in any temperature!) and tough as nails. Comparable to the Aimpoint, but the larger objective lens gives a better sight picture. Light weight and dependable with a sharp dot.

I have used this out door and in doors. No problems at all. Makes in door CQB easy because of the wide view. Also very durable. I have smashed this on the floor and many walls. It still kept zero. Of course make sure you pair this with a good mount. Don't spend money on cheap stuff because you will disappoint yourself.

If it's in your budget, this should be in your vision.. Everything you've heard about the MRO is real. EVEN some of the bad. There IS a slight magnification (around 1.1) Keep this thing on setting 3 and you get your 50,000 hour red dot. Would I buy the MRO again.... Yes

Got here in 2 days. I'm in love. Over $200 cheaper than an Aimpoint and made in the USA. Built like a tank. Yes it's not a true 1x, but doesn't effect my sight picture.

Exactly what I was looking for. Do yourself a favor and get the Trijicon rubber armor cover for it. Its built very well but if you're going to use this in a tactical sense, protect your investment.

Received next day. Package and product seems great. Will be trying it out at the Range. Looking forward to it.

Optic is great. However the one I received would not allow me to move the windage adjustment to the left at all. Had to return and wait for a new one.

I like this red dot sight. I have heard or read many complaints about red glare, reflections... etc, etc. I have this mounted on an AR and just took a training class with it. Almost all of this commentary seems to be completely irrelevant in use, when that use is for defensive purposes. An argument could be made that, if just used for target shooting, those may be annoying issues / personal preference. During use in the training, I never noticed any of the glare, reflection, etc issues. My summary after using it in the class - it worked very well! I was hitting steel targets, regularly, at various distances out to 300 yards. My previous thought was I would need a magnified scope to do this. Knowledge is powerful. There are two minor issues that I do have with this sight: 1) the windage and elevation adjustments are not as positive as I would like. It is sometimes difficult to feel or hear the click. 2) When sighting in, sometimes you think you have a good zero and the next time you shoot, you quickly find out that you don't. This happened in the class. I was told that some MRO's have this issue and that if you adjust it past where you want it and then turn it back to where you really want it, it will eliminate this issue. I will test this theory and will report back later. One of the instructors was using an MRO and he said he has been having problems with his holding zero. These two issue are not a deal breaker for me but they kept me from giving it 5 stars.

Not happy at all. - MRO is not a true 1x, it is 1.05x (per Trijicon website) - Bad distortion/Fisheye - Glass isn't as clear as Aimpoint, not even close. - 2 MOA Red Dot isn't sharp on any brightness, its starburst - 6 brightness settings are not enough for mid-day in desert states.

absolutely love this RDS. the only product to hit the market that i find superior to aimpoint. the field of view is far better and the durability is every bit as good. plus the design with the nob on top makes much more sense to avoid awkward reaching over for a lefty. also the turrets do not require easy to lose caps with o rings that can compromise water resistance if lost or damaged. best optic i've ever used by far. can't think of a single bad thing to say about it. it's as close to perfect as it gets.

This is the best sight I own!

Just received this red dot sight yesterday and I turned it on to test it out. The red dot looked like tiny clusters of red light. Not even a red dot. Disappointed at this point. After reading all the good reviews I was sure I was getting a good product. Returned it next day and went for the Holosun !

Wouldn't mount anything else on my short-mid-range AR. The Trijicon MRO-C-2200003 2.0 MOA Red Dot is a truly awesome optical. Visibility and target acquisition are superb.

This is a great red dot but the magnification really does bother me and not enough brightness settings. Other than that it is awesome.

Great all around optic, the factory mount does alright but switched out for a geissele super precision full co witness and it locks up alot better and feels alot more solid.

Works great.

So far, so good. Straight out of the box, it hits a 2 inch group high and right at 25/100. After just a few clicks, I have it at a 1 inch group dead on at at 100 yards. Being in LE, the battery life appealed a lot to me. I just leave it on the "3" setting and I know I will only need to change the battery in a year or so. The word on the streets is the Trijicon MRO is one of the toughest dots on the market. When I sold my eotech back to Eotech (because of their little mishap...*cough* lying *cough* ) I was looking for a good, quality, sight that would meet my expectations in the line of work I do. I cannot afford to buy cheap and have it fail on me; from this, I bought the MRO. The sight picture is smaller than the eotech I had, so I just moved it closer to the rear sight, which made the sight picture a little larger. The glass is extremely clear and crisp. You will be happy with this sight. My philosophy is that you buy quality once and you won't have to buy again. The MRO is quality, so just buy it already.

I love this Optic! I was able to zero in this optic at 25 yards with as low as 8 rounds of 300 AAC Blackout going down range. Will need to re-zero in at 50 yards to be sure but overall this is a hardy, durable optic and the 2 MOA dot is freaking fantastic! I love it and highly (I really mean HIGHLY) recommend this Red Dot Optic by Trijicon. It makes sense why this optic received best optic of the year previously!

Received a empty box omg I can't believe this paid 500 for a box

Amazing. Works very well on my colt m4

It says Trijicon, and it is actually as good as you expect it to be...

Looks good to me. I have always had a slight astigmatism so the dot appears to be slightly "starburst", I showed it to a family member with good eyes and they said it was round. My eotech was always a-little fuzzy too. If you think yours has a defect try showing it to a few people and ask them to describe what they see; than be prepared to be angry at life.

Great optic and for the price, you can't beat it. Get It! You won't be disappointed.

I chose this over the Aimpoint Micro T2 because of the "tunnel" effect of the Aimpoint. I don't think the Aimpoint is bad by any means, but I think the MRO is much more comfortable for me, and is easier to index on presentation. The slightly tinted lens doesn't effect or bother me at all.

I don't think compact red dots get much better than this.

Awesome optic I've had this thing in the rain and also coal dirt slash sand. Didn't have a single problem with it

Works great...left on since purchasing...still on.

Excellent product. As other stated there is a lot of glare on the lens sometime which you'd not expect for an optic at this price range. Other than that, it's a great reddot for keeping both eyes open while shooting.

Very nice, I like it so far!

Best optic out there in my opinion

Good

Like all trijicon products. The glass is extremely clear. I have it mounted with an SLR full witness mounted. It looks extremely clean on my rifle

Perfect and built like a tank...

It is on my AR pistol and it looks awesome. The glass is really clear and it is really well built. The dot is really bright at level 6. Love it so far.

Awesome red dot once zeroed in this thing is a beast

just what I needed.

Arrive broken I will be returning!!!!

I didn't realize how big of a difference this is from the RMR. The dot is much smaller which allows you to engage targets out to much longer distances.

It’s missing the four mounting screws for the low profile mount. It is also missing the two clamp screws. One of the mounting screws seems to be broken in the product. This is not what I was expecting to receive after waiting two weeks for it.

I love the idea of fast target acquisition! Before I bought this I watched all kinds of videos on YouTube about how good this red dot optic was. When I got it, I was really excited and very quickly noticed that when I looked through it I did not see a round dot. All I saw was a red blur, a red teardrop, a kind of distorted star shape. Then I got back online and started researching why I was seeing this and then I came across many topics about how bad red dot optics are for people with astigmatisms in their eyes. I know I have an Astigmatism and wear glasses. *I just wish there was some kind of note or detail in advertising that stated this issue.* If you buy one of these and notice that the front optic lens is crooked (cocked at an angle) please be aware that its not messed up. That is how these are made. That is how its suppose to be. I went to the local gun store and checked out the Trijicon ACOG to if they had the same issue. They DO NOT. ACOG's are built differently. I saw a perfectly crystal clear reticle. I will be returning this red dot and forking out the money for an ACOG.

this was totally disappointing. Take this review with a grain of salt because there had to be something wrong with this.

Had to return it because it wouldn't adjust. It was likely a fake as I compared it with a replacement and the quality was completely different.

I was very excited to try the Mro out but after comparing to other trijicons it looks like I also received a fake. I was very disappointed

received package and opened it I was super excited I see the plastic trijicon box I take it out open that and to my dismay, its empty. no red dot to be found only instructions and some foam sent it back immediately hopefully second time will be different. beware

solid red dot optic. cant go wrong with trijicon

Awesome and quality product!

I use the MRO on a CZ Scorpion. Came in a hard case from Trijicon and packaged securely, made me feel like I had purchased something worth the money immediately. Came with allen wrench for install and even a sticker, which was unexpected and pretty cool. Install was a piece of cake as expected. Sighting in the optic took about 5 minutes. One nice thing about the dials on the MRO is that only a fingernail or small coin is needed to make adjustments. I've owned the MRO for a couple months and have only adjusted it twice after putting about 900 rounds through the weapon. Very impressed. Yes it's expensive but I'm a firm believer in by once, cry once. You won't be disappointed.

Great product good field of view battery life is outstanding..

I have 2 other trijicon optics so I know they make good products, but I received a fake. The easiest way to tell is if the diode is at the 6 o’clock position. Real MROs have the diode at 1030z

Parallax is WAY off. When I move my head I can see the dot moving a good amount. I set it on top of the box, pointed it at a tree, moved my head, and the dot shifted off the tree lol. Needless to say it's getting sent back. Otherwise it is a solid, well-built unit.

Great optic! The construction is tough and the glass is clear.

In typical Trijicon form, this optic is both high quality and high performance. Clear, sharp, 2 MOA dot, making target acquisitions fast. I’m most impressed with the wide field of view compared to other optics in this class. Doesn’t feel like looking through a tube at all. Although it did not come with mounting screws, and there is a very faint blue tint, I’m very pleased with this purchase.

I bought the model with no mount, because I have a handguard that it's supposed to mount directly to, and, surprise, it didn't come with any screws. So, now I have to wait for those to come in before I can see how the optic works on my rifle. I'm less than elated over this. It looks great, but there's nothing saying that it wouldn't come with screws if I didn't get a mount. It makes no sense to me.

I just received my MRO. I was a little concerned that it would be a fake (according to other reviews) but I called Trijicon and they confirmed it was legit! It was also the newest model! Great optic, great price and got it in 2 days.

The MRO I received from Billy Bob's Bass was a confirmed counterfeit.

This item needs to be recalled. Trijicon acknowledged the issue and fixed it on newer models. Lens has: 1) Blue tint 2) fish eye lense on the outside circle 3) 1.05x magnification t As a result this makes two eye open shooting appear as if you are wearing glasses with 1 prescription lens. For a while if you contacted Trijicon they would replace this for free. Then they started charging $80 per MRO to fix. Now it's $50 each lens. I hope they get EOTech'd with a class action lawsuit. It is very difficult to get a photo of the fish eye and magnification but the blue tint is shown here.

Works great Nice field of view

Badass scope, no complaints at all. Makes my PS90 look sick af, I Love it!

It's a trijicon. It's a high-quality optic priced reasonably well. Bought a second one! Pro: 1. Small 2. Lightweight 3. Clear optics 4. multiple dots & modes Cons: none!

Great Quality, Reliable, and Rugged. Adjusted correctly and sighted in correct and you won't miss... EVER.

I put this optic on my 9MM CZ Scorpion and liked it so well I bought a second one and replaced the red dot optics of my 9MM JR Carbine. Not the cheapest on the market but you get what you pay for. Excellent quality!!

MRO is the solution if you want rapid target acquisition in all lighting conditions, and don't care about magnification. In that sense, it's great primarily for home defense shotguns and carbine-length rifles. Perhaps the most significant downside of the MRO is that optically, it's OK, but not particularly amazing: it's a very simple contraption that uses a reflection of a side-mounted LED - and so, if you crank it up to maximum brightness in a dark place, you're going to see a lot more glare than you'd expect from a scope. You will have more glare if you mount the MRO closer to your eye, so where possible, you want to mount it closer to the business end of a gun. Still, given this, it stands to reason to ask yourself if it's worth paying $400 or so for this product, when quite a few other brand-name products of this kind are available closer to $100-$200. The main argument in favor of paying more is that this product is just ridiculously tough, with a hefty cast-metal body that likely can be dropped on hard surfaces from a good height without breaking. In addition to many similarly-looking tube-style red dots, the MRO also faces some competition from the LED-powered variants Trijicon RMR, which have the huge benefit of automatic on-off and brightness functionality, saving you time on fiddling with the knobs (although works best for firearms that are stored in the dark); and with cheap open-frame red dots, such as Burris - which tend to fly off shotguns and generally don't hold up well to abuse - but don't obstruct your view as much.

Updated* JUST NOTICED FRONT LENSE IS CROSS THREADED BUT!! ( I called Trijicon and this is actually the correct installation. The lense is installed on an angle to bounce the red dot back to the user and does not effect the product's water tight design. Trijicon says many customers call in thinking it's a cross threaded front lense. ) Seems very durable but I haven't taken it to the range just yet. I made this purchase due to the MRO's track record and trijicons good reputation to deliver a high quality product. One design flaw that didn't hit me until I had the MRO in hand is the lack of flip cap lense cover options. They're available for the front lenses but there are no options for the smaller rear lense. I purchased a trijicon neoprene MRO cover for some protection until I can buy a set of the rubber tango down covers though they dont seem as reliable as a good spring loaded flip up lense cover. If I would have known what I do now I would have just bought a "MRO patrol optic" that is made with spring loaded flip caps.

If you have astigmatism do not order this sight. All you will see is a red blur. Nice optic though I don't like the dial on top.

This is my 5th MRO, works great delivery was excellent.

Arrived broken.

Received the Trijicon MRO and was excited to mount, but noticed that the Optical Lends was mounted incorrection. Was totally crooked; so had to return. Definitely going to re-order once I am credited for the return, but disappointing to have poor QC on the unit for this price.

Incredible deal on this optic. I wish it would've come with the mounting screws, but still an unbeatable deal. Pinpoint accurate! Easy to adjust using brass casings if needed (I did).

This optic has me seriously considering replacing my Aimpoint T2. It is an excellent, “fast” (sight acquisition) optic. If you are an occasional or recreational shooter, then you may consider other options. However, if this optic will be used in a close to medium range life defense situation, or if your just serious about your shooting, then it should be given serious consideration. I paired this with a “Scalarworks” LEAP mount, which enhances the broad sightpicture benefits of the MRO. If it is in your budget, you will not be disappointed by this RDO.

Good visibility. Build is good. One thing that I hate is cheap screws. While I was adjusting the scope trying to figure out the best location on the rifle the screws are already grinded to the point hat it's impossible to unscrew the scope.

Everything you'd expect from a Trijicon optic. No problems sighting it in. Has held its zero just fine. A year later still on the original battery. Id knock it for price point, but as much as I wish they cost less, I cant say I've ever had any regret paying out for their stuff. Looks great on my CZ Scorpion SBR.

This is a very rugged sight, but it has some limitations. My biggest complaint is internal red glare if there is bright light coming from behind you. I notice this the most inside my house and using a weapon light does mitigate the glare to some extent. Using the sight outside at the range didn’t present any problems, but I haven’t had to contend with light coming from behind me there. My other complaint is the brightness settings. The MRO has several night vision settings that are worthless to 99% of the people who buy them. There are only 4 (3,4,5,6 on the dial) daylight settings and ‘3’ isn’t very bright even indoors. So, you really only have 3 settings for use outside in sunlight. In my only range visit with this sight I found myself wishing there was more adjustment between not quite bright enough and too bright. I like the form factor of this sight. I also like the fact that it is much cheaper than an Aimpoint T2. If I had to do this again though I’d either opt for an Aimpoint PRO or save more and get another T2.

Pros: Built like a tank, battery life, easy access/adjustment knobs, large field of view. Cons: Slight blue haze looking through, dot is not as crisp, slanted glass. Overall: Hesitated about returning it but ended up keeping it, I wouldn’t get another one though. Comparing the MRO to another red dot I own, a Holosun HS515GM...the Holosun wins!

Socom 16 and Trijicon a match made in heaven! Purchased this optic to mount on my M1A for sub 300 yard shots, combined with the low mount it makes for the perfect combo for a rough and tumble brush gun

Great optic at a good price. Less expensive than some of it’s competitors, the quality is just as good, and it’s light-weight. It’s clearer than my two Eotechs.

Product looks nice by being this a Trijicon, I expected better quality. The front lens came tilted

Too inaccurate for hunting small game or target shooting. Unless you can guarantee that your eyeball is in exactly the same spot directly behind the MRO for every shot the parallax makes this optic too inaccurate for repeatable shots past 50 yards.

Product new in factory packaging exactly as described. Fast simple service with seller 100% recommended

Bought from ABCD Sales and no fake! Genuine Trijicon MRO at a reasonable price. Good 1. Lightweight 2. Small profile 3. Little tube effect unlike the Aimpoints. The larger objective lens helps minimize the tube effect. 4. Cheaper than an Aimpoint. 5. Henderson Defense out in Las Vegas (machine gun rentals) have used their MRO for years and 100,000+ rounds in their MRO and it still runs like a champ! 6. Long Battery life! 5 years on setting 3! 7. Protected diode. RMR’s, Fast Fires etc have an exposed diode. If dirt/mid gets in there you are out of action soldier! This model protects the diode and a wipe of the lenses and you are back in business! Bad: 1. Parallax. While not as bad as models under serial number #89,000 there is still a bit. 2. Slight magnification. Not as bad as early models but it is slight. Good news is you have to look for it, probably wont notice it. 3. Does not come with a scope cover like their ACOGS do. 4. Slight bluish tint. Interestingly, the closer the red dot is to my eye, the more the blue tint disappears and with both eyes open and dot closer to my eye, the weaker eye picks up more situational awareness/terrain/threats around the scope I’ve looked at lots of red dots and this is the lightest non tube effect red dot on the market! ACOG strong and red dot fast!

Great optic for a short range system.

Great field of view, have run several thousand rounds through the gun with this mounted and as I expected from this company, no issues. The only downside to this optic is that there are no discernible clicks when you make adjustments. Not a big deal if you pay attention to what you're doing though.

This is an awesome site

This is the best value serious use red dot sight on the market. The field of view is much better than a t1, t2 or pro. The glass has a slight greenish tint, and the fishbowling often talked about is very nominal as to be unnoticeable while shooting fast. The dot is very usable with night vision settings and gets bright enough for midday use. The adjustments are slightly mushy, but they are set and forget and do not have caps to loose and will not get bumped on accident. The brightness adjustment is ideal as it can be operated with either hand. Battery life test is in progress, I keep in constant on at setting 4. The included mount is solid, the only reason to upgrade would be for a QD mount. When switching from this optic to a smaller one you feel as though you are looking through a tube. The 2moa dot allows speed up close and precision out to max effective range. Dot is crisp and clear. Overall, this is a great serious use rds, and at the price only competes with the pro, while punching above its weight at optics like the aimpoint comp and t series micro dots.

i trusted my life in iraq with a trijicon optic, it NEVER let me down not once Sgt McGuire US ARMY 1-64 Armor 3rd Infantry OIF MOSUL 2009

Had high hopes. Unit arrived with no battery or wrench. Mounted it, seemed fine. Took it to the range for sight-in. Zero adjustments worked for either elevation or windage. Suspect it may have been a knock-off, should have checked but returned it.

Got it sighted in and is staying there.

Small, light weight, easy to dial intensity with the knob on the top. Glad I got it.

Works as it should

Got it and it’s not like the other real MROs i have. Led in the wrong location. Objective lens isn’t crooked(like it’s supposed to be)

Awesome

I messaged Billy Bob's Bass about the MRO to see why people had commented they received fake items. They assured me it was legit and i placed the order 11/4/19. The item shipped an hour later and was at my door the next day. 100% brand new genuine Trijicon MRO. 123xxx serial. I have another from B&H and it is identical. The item ships from Molly's Place in Maryland which is a highly regarded store. They also happen to be a preferred Trijicon dealer. Buy from Billy Bob's Bass with confidence. Trijicon MRO is great and this is my second. Love them.

Worth the money

This is a knockoff I returned a month ago and apparently they just put it back up for the exact dollar amount they sold it to me for and apparently I’m not the only one I wonder if I got the knockoff the other guy reported in 2018

Received a fake knockoff at first based off of a YouTube description about the lens needing to be to tilted. Got the real thing as an exchange. Look up how to spot a fake on YouTube just in case you receive one without the tilted lens.

I should have known by the fact that this optic was $20-$50 cheaper than others on here that it was too good to be true. Shipping was fast, but I received an 84,000 serial number optic (one of the old discontinued models) with a dead battery and scratches on the battery cap. No telling how long this old model has been floating around out there.

Not quite as good as Aimpoint but damn close. Such a quality contender. I'm quite pleased with mine.

Trijicon has a reputation of putting out quality and you get what you pay for. Durable, easy to see dot, holds zero and excellent battery life.

I have dealt with eurooptic for many years and they have always been an outstanding supplier. The owner is a straight forward, honest, and honorable individual.

Sight looks very bright even in daylight and am sure it’s a great sight for most people. But with eyesight, I just found a lot of parallax shift. I have other reviews which complain about this. I’m not saying it’s a bad sight, just didn’t work for me unfortunately.

good quality I have two

Great product at a great price. I received it in a hard case with everything in great working order. Trijicon has a much better packaging and product than most any other brand of optics.

Running it on ultimak, no problems with heat or poi shift.
