bulldog009 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Trijicon has just announced the new SRO. Same footprint as the RMR, with much larger glass and top loading battery. Euro Optics has it listed at $490 - Link MidwayUSA has it listed at an MSRP of $749 but is selling it at $600 - Link YouTube Video Edited April 25, 2019 by bulldog009 Price edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YVK Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Honestly, with all the problems I and my friends had with the DPP, if this optic is anywhere close to RMR's durability and reliability, I won't care about the price that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilNuff Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 My understanding is that price is $40 over the rmr. Actual store prices will be much lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Whomever makes the first truly durable dot with DPP-sized glass wins. The end. No one has pulled that feat off, as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) I just hope its got clearer glass and a crisper brighter dot. After shooting 10k through my DPP (C.O.) and my Holosun 510C (PCC) looking through an RMR makes me realize how awful they are regarding brightness and clarity.

Tampa-XD45 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Looks like 1, 2.5 or 5 MOA reticle options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too hopeful that they really have it in stock, everyone else has it as a preorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayBuster Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Which dot size? Like I said earlier I just ordered a RMR and CZC cut the slide on my Shadow 1 for it which is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I’ll probably hold off for a couple months until the bugs are worked out if there are any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YVK Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 5 MOA. I shoot a 2.5 MOA DPP and I keep wishing for a slightly larger dot, especially when it is sunny outside, especially when shooting a freshly painted steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome308 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Thats just not going to be as durable with as the RMR with that design, but good on Trijicon for going for a big window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I don't need the glass capable of hammering in nails, I need the electronics to not s#!t out after 400 rounds like my last red dot. If it works like a typical RMR I'll be super happy. Ordered one this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confess that I'm not a PCC or CO snob, but for me, as long as the sight is ultra reliable and tough, I'm not really worried about clarity.

Unfortunately until now we haven’t had a viable option. I hope you just bought one, so please keep us in the loop. I know you won’t hesitate run it hard - and discuss it frankly.

Fitzghan Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Ordered one as well from Arms Unlimited. With free shipping and no sales tax it comes out cheaper than EuroOptic and it says in stock.....though I'm not so sure about that. Looking forward to testing it out. I've had nothing but good experience with Type 2 RMRs. I have 7 of them with tens of thousands of rounds between them. Never minded the blue tint and changing the battery never really affected zero. Even if it did its a 10 round exercise at best to be back on. Hopefully this is an improvement. The top loading battery is at the very least more convenient and the bigger glass will be great for USPSA....although I again I have no problem with the RMR. Be interesting to see how it works in holsters and for concealed carry as well. Slightly larger but I think it will be manageable. I do wonder if the farther forward portion will require some holster dremeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
