Trijicon RMR news from SHOT

[DeltaKilo]

Great. Just great. I'd convinced myself not to try one of these things on my pistol because they just don't have the Delta reticle that I like. Anyone wanna buy a kidney? part of a liver? I need to get one of these now.

[Armati]

Holy crap they did it. I was hoping they would do this. I was sort of hoping for auto-adjusting battery powered system like on some of the other RMRs.

However, I think you will find that the top mounted fiber optic pulls in more light than the old front mounted fiber like on the RX series.

I must put one of these in my hands. If the washout is improved over the RX I will replace nearly every optic I have with these. The only issue is suggested retail. I think $400 might be the right price point.

Steve, you are not a good man on someone's pocket book. You know this, right?

Forgive my ignorance, but can these(are they meant to) replace my Eotech/t-1?

Thanks,

Depends on whether or not you feel they offer anything the T-1/EoTech does not.

The lack of batteries is a huge plus for me (Dual-Illuminated Versions).

Right now, on my one and only AR, I've got the RM04-33 on a Vltor CASV-M. It's something like an upper 1/3 cowitness. Previously I was using the RM05 on a Ruger SR-556. The gun sucked, but the sight was awesome.

You won't get the FOV you'll have with the T-1, and there aren't (currently) a lot of mounts available. That being said, the sight weighs just a fuzz over an ounce. With the rear flip-up deployed, the sight picture can be very cluttered.

I was always a big fan of Trijicon's RX series of sights. I look at the RMRs as smaller, brighter, versions of the RX line. YMMV.

Yes. I whole heartedly agree with this. And if this optic works as advertised I will be replacing my EOTech 551 and 552s (all A65A1 NVG types), J-points and Dr. Optics with these. Most likely I will keep my RX06's but they will be for two loner rifles.

[Armati]

A few more things.

I like the red chevron on the TA31 but I know a some folks feel it is too bright under some conditions.

I also like the amber triangle/chevron.

Has anyone shot the green triangle against a .mil type 'E' target or one of the newer commercial Multicam targets? I am worried you would lose the reticule on the wrong color background.

[Outlander Systems]

This is way off topic, but, the fact that Trijicon offers so many reticule colours got me to thinking:

Why has NO ONE offered a blue reticule option? In my theoretical wonder-world, a blue electric dot would surely contrast pretty wickedly against just about anything I would be shooting at.
