Trijicon RMR?

[JHC]

Excellent info. Thanks much.

Riverine, thanks, I'll have another look around Larue's site for it.

Just looked and did not see it.

Well, I have time to wait on a good mount now since I missed the deal on the RMR.

Navigating Collapse- Have you used the the LED version or just the FO one?

I'm heading into the barn tomorrow AM to snag some gear, I'll look at an MDO and get the model# for the RMR mount.

Sounds good. Thank you.

Sorry for the delay, looking at it now. It's the LT726.

In our case, it's used to mount it to the Machinegun Day Optic, and may be removed. Looks perfect for, say, a 1 o'clock offset mount in conjunction with a fixed-magnification primary optic, which makes a helluva lot more sense than sticking it on top of anything.

MILWAR, can you explain why Trijicon has not made the RMR with their 14 MOA chevron reticule? IMO this is the best reticule pattern they have.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has to do with the miniature size of the optic. Just from knowing how those are built it takes a lot of sophisticated engineering to get that small package to work. Trying to get the reticle to be a specific "shape" might not be possible in a sight that small.

You can be rest assured that if Trijicon "can" do it, they're probably already working on it. They've got a couple of different reticle types on their larger Reflex sights.

MILWAR,

My first choice for mounting the RMR would be to use the AK mount that KVAR sells which would mount the optic over the receiver. I know that in that area heat would not be an issue. My concern is, if mounting it like that does not work out I would have to run it on an Ultimak. If I remember correctly the T1’s temp range is only a bit higher than the RMR and the T1 holds up great on the Ultimak. I’d hate to spend $500 on an optic only to cook it after a few hundred rounds.

If the Aimpoint T-1 can handle it, the RMR can probably handle it too. With the Aimpoint T-1 the "interior" of the optic is really close to the rail. With the RMR you'll have rail mount inbetween the RMR and the rail (the RM33 is the lowest, but it still adds around .25 to .50 inch height to the setup). So you'll have the "mount" as a buffer to absorb and diffuse heat.

I can't make any guarantees though. Extreme heat with any optic is usually not a good idea....lol

I have shot a TA 01 with a Mini Red dot sight on it. Not a fan. You just have to shoot it to understand.
the ACOG is great. your eye relief and cheek to stock is the same every time. If your add the red dot sight to the top, you have a different feel to how you shoot. Shooting is muscle memory. Same way you bring the but stock to your shoulder , align your sights up to the target, same way squeeze the trigger. You don't get this with the red dot sight on your weapon.
Alot of folks don't know you can shoot the ACOG with both eyes open. you can do CQB looking through your ACOG with both eyes open, it takes a lil bit of training. I suggest you go with an EOTech!
