Anyone Experiencing Issues with the Trijicon MRO?

[Tigereye]

No issues at all.

No issues with mine. I have it on my hd / primary rifle and never notice the tint or slight magnification when shooting.

I was so impressed with the field of view, I got one yesterday. Seems like a solid optic. I guess I will know in a few thousand rounds.

Have one on a "house gun"- zero complaints.
Even with old dufus eyes, hits at 200 are doable.
The MRO is only 5% quicker than a quality LPV (Trijicon 1-4 Accupoint as example) for me, but I shoot the LPV's a lot.
I appreciate the "just leave it on" ability of the MRO.

I'll mention a cautionary tale. It hasn't happened to me, but it looks like a "weak point." I actually saw a YouTube video where a guy broke his MRO in this way.

The manual is very specific about being careful how you install the battery or you may break off some of the contact tabs sticking up in the battery compartment.

After watching the YouTube video I could see how the average ham-handed ape might very well try to install the battery with a little too much force and break one or more of these tabs.

The sight comes with battery already installed.

That's true, but it's best to know how to change it because you eventually will.

That brings up another question: If I were to order a "spare" MRO, should I remove the battery for storage? Do coin Lithium batteries tend not to leak over time?

Just curious.

[mebiuspower]

Lithium batteries are much less likely (if ever) to leak compare to Alkaline batteries.

I would remove it, not saying it would hurt to not but if a spare MRO that is what I would do

I tend to agree. Why take a chance? Even though Energizer has a "No leak" guarantee the only purpose for having a spare MRO is because "two is one; one is none". I always err on the side of having a backup.
