RangerDLA Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Took me a week. Had a brand new one. I have two (both 1 MOA). Zero issues and 1500+ rounds through each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerDLA Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) One was good from the go. The second was RMA'ed because the auto brightness didn't work. To be clear, I only had to send one back. Edited October 28, 2019 by RangerDLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazborgufen Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Trijicon replaced mine in 8 days. I RMA'd my first one because the auto-brightness didn't work. I received a new one (different serial number) whose auto-brightness also didn't work. I also reported that the replacementdied after the first shot I took with it to zero it. I need to update that report. I called Trijicon and was informed by the tech that the battery covers are sometimes not tight enough from the factory. That could have fooled me because it was very tight and somewhat hard to get off when I was trying to remove it at the range, but fair is fair and I decided to give it another go. The tech suggested that I really crank it down because of the gasket, so I grabbed a nickel (which fits perfectly in the slots on the cover) with needle nose pliers and torqued that cover down. The dot came back and I was able to zero the optic. I put at least 400 rounds through it and so far, so good. So now it's fine. The auto-brightness doesn't work, but I don't really care. Maybe I'll RMA it again if people start reporting that the auto-brightness has been corrected, but for now it does what I need it to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, when I went to remove it the first time, I thought I was going to strip it out it was so tight...even bought two replacements @ 50% off, as it seemed inevitable after only removing it once.

Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 You’d think these issues would be cleared up.by now. Love to see a company come out and say. “We rushed this product out because the market wanted it ASAP and they weren’t 100% but we’re going to make it right “ I’m dreaming right ?

How long did it take until the 'Type 2' RMRs were released? I think we all accept the inherent risks of getting aboard before sea-trials were completed and a type-2/v2 is released.

Chompion Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 How long has everyone's sro battery lasted? My factory battery dimmed out twice during a range session then ultimately died during a uspsa match the next day. I installed a new battery and had no issues. Ive only had the sro since august, maybe shot 3 matches and a handful of live fire sessions with it. Seems a bit short for battery life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mveto Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 My brother and I each have about 1.5k rounds on our SRO’s and dry during about 4 days a week for the last 2 months and zero issues so far. Battery has been fine, but I do need to pick up a spare just in case. Really happy with the SRO so far. It did take a bit of time to get used to the shape of the lense but it’s much better than any other dot I’ve tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyF9 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I've had mine since August and it's burned through 2 batteries. I've only taken it to the range once and it spends most of it's time in a drawer in the dark not moving. I think my auto mode isn't quite working right either, so I'm going to attempt to RMA it.

Yeah, my first 2.5 MOA SRO battery lasted 5 1/2 months with a 12 or so trips to the range and regular dryfire at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for any info. One friend said there’s a place that can 3D print one for it. ? Don’t remember where tho. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Goggle DreamPlastics. They have very nice slip on rubber covers... 2 for $10. Shipped by mail. Call them and ask for Jinny. She will take a CC over the phone. I have used them on my RMRs, and they work well.

Hazborgufen Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I have a red cover from Range Panda and it is pretty sweet. Just be aware that there's a little pull-tab on the back of it that might get in the way of you have rear sights. I simply cut the tab off with my pocket knife and it's all good.

That must have changed very recently as I ordered mine at the end of August. Regardless, the cover is nice and sounds nicer now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My SRO is 2.5 moa. No problems at all yet. I've run at least 700 rounds through the Glock 34 with a dovetail mounting plate for the SRO. I will soon purchase another glock 34 gen 4, but an MOS version this time. That will make this gun my back up rig, and the MOS the main runner. I'm running an 11 lb. Recoil spring 4.5 lb striker spring and "The Edge" trigger group. No other mods really. I've since added a tungsten guide rod made for a S&W M&P Core. It runs sweetly! probably well over 1000 rounds now with No Trouble from the SRO or dovetail mounting it. So far so good for 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_RAD Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I noticed the SRO seems to distort what your looking at. Not bad but just a little. Not sure if distort is the right word but it does look a little different. Not a huge fan of this dot but if it last longer than others, I might have to get over it. Still testing it out.

The only way to make such a large window with that short of a footprint is to have a very curved lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It adds a little bit of magnification. The DPP isn’t as y’all so it doesn’t do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
