Why oh why could they not put a damn circle around that dot? ... But I'm still excited to see where this goes.

Boy, you're hopeful. This is Trijicon. We're probably looking at MSRP - $1800 View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Let me guess, MSRP $900. This is Trijicon. We're probably looking at MSRP - $1800 sadly, this. MSRP will be 1000 at the cheapest end. Street price 750. Dealer advertised price 849 |

I'd maintain, repair, and operate it real hard View Quote but would you RUN it? You have to RUN something like that on the rifle that you RUN. If prices are low enough, I'd be interested in one to put on my (sometime in the hopefully not too distant future) AK SBR or something like that. But I expect that you'll pay $300 or so for the optic and another $700 for the "Trijicon" stamped on the side of it. |

So question, where does one mount mini optics on the upper? I always see them mid way down, wouldn't it be better closer to the eye? Wouldn't bringing it close to your face increase perceived FOV?

If MSRP does turn out to be $500, Aimpoint just lost the market in that size class.
|

25mm is an improvement, but still puts it in the same class as the old RX01.
Offer a 42mm version like the RX30, and I'd be a lot more interested. |

I read that the MSRP was going to be right around $500 but would likely be found for the mid $400's once they have been on the market for a little while. If true, I'll give one a try.

Good. Hopefully this will make the t1 I need to buy soon drop in price.

I've been wondering when someone was going to finally compete with the T-1/T-2. They've been unrivaled for a while now.

this looks perfect to put infront of a night vision monocular.

Maybe I would consider it if there was an option for a green dot/reticle. Otherwise I already have a few Aimpoints that serve me well.

I like the larger objective on the MRO versus the T2. I would consider buying it, as I don't have a small RDS. I just hope it's not ONE BILLION DOLLARS. Open both of your eyes. That doesn't help, if you're too far off-axis for the dot to be visible. The whole point of having a larger objective is that it makes the dot visible over a wider range of viewing angles - and thus improves your chances of quickly finding it. |

View Quote I wish more manufacturers would use green dots/reticles, but green diodes are less efficient and likely more expensive than the equivalent red diodes. My Vortex Strikefire II isn't bad, it's just 4MOA instead of 2MOA. If they made a green Sparc, I'd buy a few of them. |

Fugly little thing. I predict another flop...a la SRS. Stick to making new & improved ACOGs and RMRs. Leave the aimpoints to aimpoint. http://www.gandrtactical.com/images/archive/Trijicon/MRO-Spec-Sheet-1.jpg http://www.gandrtactical.com/images/archive/Trijicon/MRO-Spec-Sheet-2.jpg View Quote Crazy. Stick man predicted an in between size a long time ago. |

I like it. Hopefully they're not high off their own farts when the price it
|

$500 seems to good to be true. If it's 500 hundo I'll buy one once they are released and easy to get.
|
|
I wish they would make these with an eotech style reticle. Same with aimpoint.
|
|
I'm guessing stupid msrp. We will see. There is a lack of optics that size of good quality under 700.

Really, it's the licensing, regulation, storage, EPA requirements, army of lawyers and second army of security. Very little actual tritium is needed for an ACOG. Solely by the value of the tritium itself, it has to be less than $25. |

That seems ridiculously cheap for a Trijicon product. IIRC even their 1.5x ACOGs are around 1K. Their 1.5X ACOGs have the same number of parts, lenses of optical glass, prisms, ect as their higher magnification optics. This is much simpler. So, common sense says they should be cheaper, but if Aimpoint can charge 700 bucks for a T1, I don't see Trijicon undercutting Aimpoint that much price wise, if they don't have to. |

Lots of interesting comments, has anyone actually seen or used one in person?
Second question, who was the one who announced it and started the thread in the optics section over here? |

Trijicon seems to have green reticles on some of their reflex and dual illum rmr models, nut I've heard some of those have issues qith washout. |

Hey everybody, stickman showed up The Djinn made me do it... Ok, maybe it was the Gin. Either way, I'm curious as to who has hands on this beastie, and who is just making guesses. I can see from the link provided that the other board has already posted information, and someone here did as well. It sounds like the factual side of things is that it is larger than a T1 in FOV but smaller than a typical 30mm (looks like 25mm). The other part sounds like dealers are saying "around" $500 street price, which means to me we should see MSRP around $599, and a street price of $525ish. If it was $500 or less, the dealer who was posting probably would have been touting that part. Waterproof to 100 feet. 5 years of use being left on (same as aimpoint) Everything I've seen from Trijicon has been rock solid, so if this works out with a low price, and slightly larger view, 5 year life, and waterproof, I think they have a winner. If they change the price, or dealers start charging Aimpoint prices, I think they will find slow sales as Aimpoint already has a strong foothold in this market... Kinda like if Aimpoint started to make 4x scopes they would have a hard time. . |

I would be into buying one for $500 or less. Looks like Larue is already making a mount for it. |

I notice in all the pics they show the large front objective but not one pic shows the smaller rear lens.
Anyways - I'll let others beta test. At best it's as good as an aimpoint but without the decades of use and street cred. They need to price it under the Aimpoints to get a foothold. Trijicon has hit it out of the park (ACOGs) but they have also had some less successful offerings as well (tripower, SRS). I've never dealt with them but I also understand trijicon has "meh" customer service when it comes to civilian sales these days. |
