Almost exactly what I have been saying to everyone that is nit-picking a product no one outside of Vortex or higher up in the industry has even got to glance at yet.

I can't wait for this optic, I was a huge eotech fan, but I had one "loose purging" on me so I had it fixed and then sold it. Look forward to trying out this new holographic sight. People are going overboard about the weight, it's about the same as Aimpoint Pro, suck it up, soldiers have been "lugging" Comp M4's for a long time.
Yes, and I lugged an ACOG around for a long time. However, I was merely expressing my disappointment with it's size/weight. I was hoping with Vortex's new technology as well well as lessons from the old tech, that size/weight would be smaller. I'm not knocking Vortex as I mostly exclusively use their optics. I just hoped it would have less of a footprint or different co-witness heights like all of their other red dots. I was excited, followed closely, and when specs were revealed expressed why I was no longer interested. Again, not at all bashing them or their product as I'm a huge fan in general.
Oh, one more question, is there an included rechargeable battery with the sight, or can any old 16340 work for the sight? I am flush with 16340's and need something to stick them in! A 16340 sight that stayed on all the time... Whew, I think I need that in my life, and I just fell in love with my MRO too.
We are not including a rechargeable battery with the sight, but we are including a standard CR123A.
One thing to keep note of is that if you choose to use a rechargeable battery, use an LFP123A not an RCR123A.
In our testing RCR123A's only lasted about 200-300 rounds before the recoil killed them. When we tested LFP123As we quit testing at 10,000 rounds and they were still working.
