The Trijicon MRO (Miniature Rifle Optic) is ideal for tactical rifles, carbines and shotguns. Now a green dot version is available in addition to red.

MRO Goes Green

At NRAAM 2018, Trijicon released a green dot version of its well-known MRO. Everyone's eyesight varies, and some people see green brighter and easier than red. Trijicon also says the green dot offers “a greater contrast against forest, grassland, and jungle environments.”

The Trijicon MRO Green dot intensity can be adjusted to eight brightness settings, including two night vision-compatible modes.

End-users can choose from several mounting options. One of the MRO Green Dot mounting options is a lower 1/3 co-witness levered quick-release mount.

Differences Among the Tiny Trijicon Red Dots

Other than the dot color change, the differences between the red dot version are minimal. Due to a different coating on the objective lens, the green dot uses more battery life than the Trijicon MRO Red Dot. On the brightness level of “3,” the continuous battery life is one year, while the red dot is five years.

The MRO Green Dot is expected to start shipping in late summer. Depending on the mount selected, MSRP is $613 to $749.
