    Aimpoint Pro vs Trijicon MRO

    Which do you prefer and why?

  2. #2
    I’m not an Aimpoint fan personally. The color they use is kind of a washed out amber, and I struggle with it each and every time. Loads of people love them, could just be me. I love the Trijicon’s; but again, not the amber.

    Had a Pro moved to the Micro. Sold most micros and now have MRO. My last Micro is on my AR pistol.
    Micro and MRO have better battery life than Pro and are a lot smaller and lighter. The Micro is optimized for use with a magnifier.
    I prefer the MRO over my Micros because of the better field of view. Early serial number MRO’s could have some electronic issues. Middle 15k and up MRO have a 1.1x magnification. I saw a video with the Yeti and he ran his MRO towards the back right in from if the back up rear sight. I tried it and it’s great. The larger housing of the MRO disappears and the bigger objective vs the Micro opens up your FOV. I have read that the latest MRO’s out now are true 1x which would be good if you wanted to mount them further up the receiver and use a magnifier. The 1.1x ones would give me a little fish eye at very close ranges if mounted up the reciever.

    There are some great deals on the MRO and in that regard it blows the Aimpoint Micro and the PRO out of the water.

    Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions

    I like the MRO better for its wider field of view and larger objective lens.

    I sold my pro for an mro and I am happy. Pro is good but much prefer the compact size of the mro.

    By “middle 15k and up” are you referring to SN?

    Yes that’s it. Also they did a change in lense tilt and coating color vs. the earlier serial number.
    I read on another site that it was closer to 1.1 but in any case there was some magnification. Thanks for finding that.
    Maybe it’s me eyes but when going back and forth between my Aimpoint Micro and the MRO I swear the Aimpoint actually has a reduction vs a true 1x.

    And thanks for pointing that out. My MRO is pretty early, 12000ish serial.

    I just today (12-5-17) received an MRO bought from Optics Planet with SN 86712.

    How noticeable of a difference is there from your new mro and old?

    I haven't put them side x side, but since my new SN is < 89000, I'm guessing there is no difference.
