as mentioned before, the PRO has a weird "just shorter/lower than 1/3" height mount
the QRP2 is a beast in terms of size but actually weighs decently light. mine holds fine; am considering the riser for $40 someone linked to as my wife prefers the larger window on the PRO over our Micros
the issue is that the rear sights do get cluttered using the "too short for lower 1/3" mount height on the factory QRP2
honestly think you're better off just getting a Micro H2 or H1 (new from a vendor) on a Larue LT660(so many used ones on EE)
for how large and heavy the PRO is (unless you're wanting the 30mm window), it's just worth the $$ to get less weight and bulk IMO

stock aimpoint pro with DD 1.5 is the way to go!
also skip the PRO if you're a lefty. I learned this a few weeks ago in discussing optics with a lefty.
what do you suggest for a lefty?
something that doesn't have a giant battery compartment protruding on the RIGHT side
blocking the LEFTY shooter's right eye
I've never owned an MRO, so I won't rec it. I've used it at the range, but that's about it.
I loved Aimpoint Micros, solid and great for Leftys as well.
Aimpoint PRO is a solid and reliable optic, mount is a weird height (hard to co-witness with), but great otherwise. Overall is quality kit, but for a red dot, you don't need that much weight and bulk unless you want the window. Yes, I do notice running the gun the weight difference between irons only, Micro, and PRO. Not huge, but noticeable difference in handling.
For the 1/3rd price, the Primary Arms and other clones aren't worth the $$$ compared to what you can get for 3x the price in the Micro.
I dislike them personally for anything but comp or plinking, but the variable optics are very useful outside of CQB range. (please don't turn this into an RDS vs Variable thread, just my opinion). PST Gen2 1-6x is great for the money, Razor 1-6x is solid but heavy and pricey, Steiner is the standard in my area but I haven't liked the 2 I used
Maybe not fixed sights, but the Magpul PRO MBUS are very high quality folding sights. I don't own them but they are highly regarded by people I know that replaced their Troys with them after using them for a while.
I have an aimpoint PRO and DD 1.5 rear fixed sight. It's been a decent combo for me, and have no plan to change it.
I had an Aimpoint Pro and DD sight setup and it worked well with the ScalarWorks LDM 1/3 co-witness mount. The stock Aimpoint mount was alright, but just slightly lower than where I wanted the dot to be.
