MRO vs H-1

[DT556]

How does the MRO compare to the Aimpoint H-1? I'm looking at purchasing one but want to hear some feedback. Thanks.

Get the T-2. The MRO has slight magnification to it. IMO the bread and butter of Trijicon are their ACOG's. Leave the red dots to Aimpoint.



And, before the MRO fanboys come to tell me im wrong:

The T1/T2/MRO are all magnified. Whether you notice it or not is a different issue. I shoot an MRO and T1 - would be comfortable with either one.

Its not nearly as noticeable as the MRO. If the micro is magnified, its 1.0000000100001x

1.02 vs 1.04 (third party testing). The above link hashes out most of the pros and cons OP.

Thanks for this thread, gonna take a look. I like when im proved wrong, always learning something

If the aimpoint is magnified, I've never noticed.

H2. Cheaper than the T2 - same quality, but no NV settings to never use.

Yeah, I'd never use the NV settings. What are the differences between the H-1 and H-2?

I've got two T-1s, one T-2, one PRO, and one MRO. The H-2 is probably a T-2 without NV settings. I don't know how the H-2 and MRO compare price wise, but you can get a MRO for $424 with 1/3 co-witness non-QD mount, and it comes with NV settings. That is actually a very good deal.

I really like the Aimpoints especially the T-2, but the MRO has a MUCH larger and wider field of view. Also, $700 H-2 with a LaRue mount is a lot of dough.

IF you are a serious and super picky shooter with a serious rifle, it might be worth it. (I put a T-2 on one of my SCAR 17s) But if you want a high performance sight without lens caps and would rather spend the extra money on ammo, take a look at the MRO.

I've had my MRO since just after they came out and I've not understood the Internet whining about it. (I was involved in the early M4Carbine discussion thread.) The MRO is a very good RDS. But if you want the absolute best, spend the money and get a T-2 (or H-2 if you want to save a couple bucks...check the LaRue site combo price)

I own the MRO and It is IMO Awesome! Haven't tried the H2 or T2 though.

The Aimpoint and the MRO both have very small amounts of magnification, but the reason there seems to be more in the MRO is because of the MRO construction. It has a much larger objective lens.

It is a stupid debate factually disproven and due to subjective opinion. The large lens in front makes for a larger curve. So when you are sitting on your couch looking through the lens at your TV or other objects up close you can detect the curvature which many take for magnification.

But when you are out shooting like you would from one target to the next you will never notice the lens curve, but you will notice the much larger field of view.

So, bottom line: In real life the larger field of view out-weighs the curvature you might notice while obsessing over it on your couch.

The dot on the H-2 is more crisp (and apparently better when magnified), and it comes with front and rear clear removable lens caps. Also, the adjustment knobs aren't exposed.

save money...and go with a used not abused T-1
These are red dots for closer shots anyway....

Have an Aimpoint Micro on my AR, MRO on my SCAR. I prefer the Aimpoint. Everything about it is just done right. No complaint about the MRO really, but it is ugly. Between the two I'd recommend the Micro. The MRO's larger FOV is mooot for me.
