Trijicon RMR Type 2 Leaked Released

Tuesday, June 6th, 2017

The bad boys at G&R Tactical shared this image of promotional literature for a new RMR Type 2. It’s now available on Trijicon’s website.

According to the product sheet, Trijicon has improved the battery contacts. Additionally, there’s a button lockout mode as well as a battery conservation mode which auto adjusts to ambient lighting conditions after 16.5 hours of inactivity.

As far as settings go, there are eight settings, including two night vision and one super bright setting. The CR2032 battery will last for four years on brightness setting four, or for five years in dark storage.

Finally, the RMR Type 2 still features a 3.5 moa dot. Their unique housing shape also resists damage to the glass in the event it’s dropped and the RMR Type 2 is still waterproof to 20m.  And yes, it is compatible with all current RMR mounting solutions.

MRO Patrol

IMG_0105

So, how did Trijicon update the MRO with the new Patrol model? The major change for the Patrol is Trijicon added internal threading to the housing around the objective lens which allows users to mount a kill flash/Anti-Reflection Device and/or Objective Cover to the MRO, and they included an ocular lens cover. Trijicon also now offers a co-witness mount with a one-handed quick detach for the MRO.

The Machine Gun Reflex sight is designed for medium and heavy machine guns, providing a wide 3″ x 2″ view window and 3 MOA/35 MOA reticle to increase probability of first-round hits. The MRGRS is made of 7075-T6 aluminum, is waterproof to 2m, and is powered by a single CR123A battery which can provide over 1000 hours of continuous use on setting 6 of 7 at 70F. The MGRS also has a 3x companion magnifier called, appropriately enough, the MGRS MAG, which interfaces directly onto the MGRS body.

Designed for a variety of contemporary pistol models, the HD XR Night Sights consist of a “U” notch rear with tritium lamps, and a front post with yellow or orange outline and tritium lamp. The front post on the HD XR sights is slimmer than the standard HD sights, promoting a larger field of view for improved target identification and engagement at longer distances. The steep hooked front surface of the rear notch is optimized for one-handed slide manipulation.

AUSA – Trijicon Machine Gun Reflex Sight

Monday, October 3rd, 2016

The Trijicon Machine Gun Reflex Sight has been popping up out there for awhile, but it’s now officially released at AUSA. Think of it as an RMR on steroids.

At 5.22″ tall, 8.78″ long and 4.17″ wide this isn’t some tiny reflex sight. It is 66.9 oz with battery and mount.  The glass is 2″ x 3″ and incorprates a 35 MOA segmented circle around a 3 MOA dot reticle. It’s uses a single CR123A, made from 7075-T6 Aluminum and waterproof to 6.6′.


The MGRS offers ranging knobs for the M2 and M240 which can be easily swapped out. For adjustment there is 100 MOA of azimuth and elevation. They are suggesting customers use the AN/PAS-13 mount.


Additionally, they’ve integrated a mounting option for a 3x magnifier into the housing. The magnifier is articulating and can be swung in and out of battery. There are no buttons to push or levers to pull. The magnifier locks into place and it takes a good bit of force to move it from one position to another. It can be mounted to the side Picatinny Rail mounting point. The MGRs sports three of these Pic rail mounting points.


Made in USA!

Tuesday, March 8th, 2016

Based on consumer concerns over point of impact shifts across temperature ranges after the EOTech debacle, Trijicon has been offering this statement to their customers regarding the new MRO’s performance. As you can see, it was written in late 2015 and hasn’t been out in the public domain. Trijicon wrote it simply to advise customers and not to shine a spotlight on other brands.
