Trijicon®, Inc., global provider of innovative aiming solutions for the hunting, shooting, military, and law enforcement markets was selected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), to provide the RMR® HD and MRO® HD optics for the Rifle Red Dot Sights and Mounts solicitation.
The Trijicon MRO HD received a maximum threshold award of $7.0 million within the large objective lens category and the Trijicon RMR HD received a maximum threshold award of $4.0 million within the standard objective lens category. The IDIQ contract will be filled over the next five years. All products will be produced in Trijicon’s Wixom, Michigan factory.
Built on the foundation of the Trijicon RMR Adjustable LED model, the newly introduced RMR HD features a large, clear lens made from tempered glass and has the same footprint as the RMR. The larger lens provides an unobstructed view of the target and aids in finding and tracking the reticle more easily.
The new RMR HD reticle allows the user to toggle between a 55 MOA segmented circle reticle with a center dot, or a crisp dot-only option, both of which include a new super bright setting and an additional night vision setting. Models are available with either a 1.0 MOA or 3.25 MOA center dot.
In auto mode, the RMR HD optic’s advanced forward-looking light sensor automatically adjusts dot brightness to the target environment for effective use in any lighting scenario, including the use of a weapon light. The auto-brightness range can also be customized so that the auto mode will vary in a higher or lower range depending on the user’s preference, and a button “lock out” mode will keep the RMR HD in auto mode even if a button is inadvertently pressed.
With nine brightness settings, controlled by larger, more responsive buttons, the user can also easily select which brightness level they would like when in manual mode and “lock-in” that setting indefinitely if they choose.
The RMR HD features a top-loading battery compartment, allowing the RMR HD’s single CR2032 battery to be replaced quickly and easily without the need to re-confirm the zero of the optic. The battery will provide over three years of continuous use at the dot-only brightness setting 5 of 9 at 70ºF.
The RMR HD is compatible with all existing RMR mounts and optics-ready pistols and is designed to fit many existing optics-ready duty holsters. The RMR HD is also sized to work with optic-height co-witness sights built for the current RMR or SRO.
The patented RMR-shape of the forged 7075 T-6 aluminum housing absorbs recoil and other impacts and diverts stresses away from the lens. Built with Trijicon’s precision engineering expertise, the optic’s elevation and windage adjustments are audible, precise, and repeatable, without the need for any special tools. The optic is waterproof up to 66 ft., is drop tested, vibration tested, and will operate in extreme temperatures.
Trijicon’s MRO HD has set the standard for red dot rifle optics by providing dependable repeatability, rugged construction, and unparalleled clarity and field of view. The MRO HD has infinite eye relief for quick and accurate engagement no matter your shooting position. With its larger objective lens and shortened optical length, the MRO HD virtually eliminates the “tunnel vision” or tube-effect common to many red dot sights. The 2.0 MOA center dot and 68 MOA segmented circle are bright and crisp, and are perfectly sized for fast target acquisition. The segmented circle can be toggled on or off, depending on the user’s needs.
The MRO HD features eight brightness settings for each reticle, including two that are night vision compatible, five daylight settings and one super bright setting for use with weapon lights or in very bright lighting conditions. The battery will last 2.5 years with continuous use on the dot reticle, setting three.
Trijicon is proud to count among its users all the United States Military Services, including Special Operations Forces, as well as the United States Government, state, and local Law Enforcement, and many of America’s allies.
