Duration: 8:33

This comprehensive range after-action report, led by expert Travis Haley of Haley Strategic Partners, details the performance of the Trijicon MRO (Miniature Rifle Optic). It covers zeroing, adjustment clarity, dot visibility (including for astigmatism), performance in extreme bright light, compatibility with magnifiers, lens tint, speed drills at distance, parallax assessment compared to the Aimpoint T2, and expectations for battery life and durability. The analysis highlights the MRO's strengths in practical shooting scenarios.

Quick Summary

Expert Travis Haley evaluates the Trijicon MRO's performance in intense desert sun, finding no glare or ghosting. He discusses the 2 MOA dot's clarity, noting potential astigmatism effects, and confirms compatibility with magnifiers like the Vortex VMX-3T. Parallax is assessed as negligible for tactical needs, and the optic's durability is highly regarded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Trijicon MRO perform in bright sunlight?

The Trijicon MRO performs exceptionally well in bright sunlight, even in extreme conditions like 110-degree desert heat. It shows no internal LED glare or 'ghosting' when pointed directly towards the sun, a common issue with lesser optics.

What is the dot size of the Trijicon MRO and how does it handle astigmatism?

The Trijicon MRO features a 2 MOA red dot. While precise, users with astigmatism may still perceive some distortion, which is typical for most red dot sights across different brands and models.

Can the Trijicon MRO be used with magnifiers?

Yes, the Trijicon MRO is compatible with magnifiers. Testing showed it works with magnifiers like the Aimpoint 3X and Vortex VMX-3T. Notably, the Vortex magnifier seemed to improve dot clarity for a shooter with astigmatism.

What are the key differences between the Trijicon MRO and Aimpoint T2 regarding parallax?

Travis Haley noted that the Trijicon MRO has a slight amount of parallax due to its wider field of view, but considers it negligible for tactical use. The Aimpoint T2 is generally known for having very minimal parallax.
