I am looking to replace my returned Eotech on my AR-15 (LWRC M6A2). My first inclination was to go with the Aimpoint Pro. However, I got to handle a Trijicon MRO and I have to say I am very impressed by the MRO. Not only is it smaller, but it weighs almost half as much.
Comparing
MRO vs Aimpoint
Battery CR2032 vs Type 2L76
Bat Life 5 yr vs 30,000 hrs
Weight 4.1 oz. vs 7.8 oz
Length 2.6" vs 4.5"
Width 1.7" vs 2 3/16"
Warranty 5 yr vs 10 yr
Controls Good vs Not so good
Cost ~$100 more for MRO
I realize the Aimpoint has a long history of being very dependable and near indestructible. At the same time, Trijicon products also have a very good history. I am strongly leaning towards the Trijicon MRO. The $100 price difference is a factor, but this thing is going to last me for a long time. The controls on the MRO are well thought out.
Does anybody have any first hand information on the MRO?
Which mounts are preferred for allowing co-witnessing?
Thanks
