Trijicon will soon start making the USMC Squad Common Optic as its VCOG 1-8x28 optic that has been selected by the Marine Corps Systems as announced last month. The contract is worth US$64,000,000 Trijicon will begin delivery of units in 2020. The company will manufacture the SCO at its Wixom, Michigan factory. Press release from the US Marine Corps below:
For long range shooters the new Ventus device from Trijicon is a godsend as usually these types are available for military use... "Powered by WindPro™ Technology, the Trijicon Ventus™ provides shooters and hunters with previously unattainable data about their environments to improve long-range accuracy. The Ventus™ is designed with a Doppler LIDAR engine that can measure headwind, tailwind, crosswind and vertical wind components at six different distances in front of the user. In any weather condition.
New release from TangoDown, the iO Cover for the Trijicon MRO... "Combat optics, like the rest of the weapon system, need to be ‘ready to go’ at a second’s notice. Guarantee that readiness with our new iO MRO Cover. Trijicon™ offers up a first-rate Reflex Sight with unique features, make sure you protect its lenses from dust, rain, mud and snow.
Trijicon announced at the SHOT Show 2017 the HD XR Night Sights for the Pistols... "With the challenges of the changing landscape in law enforcement comes the next evolution of the Trijicon Night Sight line. Building on the features of the current HD™ Night Sights, the Trijicon HD XR™ night sights are for the next level of advanced target identification and engagement at increased distances.
A version of the Low Drag Mount for the Trijicon RMR has been released by Scalarworks... "Scalarworks, manufacturer of high-performance firearms accessories, is pleased to introduce the Low Drag Mount™ for Trijicon RMR sights; the lightest quick-detach Trijicon RMR mount in existence – weighing only 1.27oz, including sight screws.
A new optic is launched by Trijicon specifically aimed for use of machine guns, the Machine Gunners Reflex Sight (MGRS). It has two interchangeable knobs for the M2 and the M240 machine guns so the gunner can dial in target distances and it is claimed that it increases the probability of first round hits.
Looks like it is something for airsoft players to wait for a replica version. Press release below:
The Scalarworks Low Drag Mount for the Trijicon MRO is something you need for quick detach and reinstallation of the Microsight... "The Low Drag Mount’s precision guided telescoping clamp holds zero on every re-installation, and under the heaviest recoil. Guaranteed. Engineered to be the lightest Quick-Detach mount possible, without compromising an ounce of strength. The LDM/MRO has been reinforced inside and out, making it the toughest Low Drag Mount yet."
Warpaper purchased a brand new RMR replica red dot sight which comes with markings which they installed on a Tokyo Marui Glock that is kitted with the RMR kit. Looks like it's poorly made as the lens fell off after 10 shots. They get another RMR repluca made in Taiwan and the lens still are still on the sight even after 80 shots. The cons they find is that it doesn't have markings and red dot offset caused by the blowback action.
Perhaps Tokyo Marui would want to look into the Origin 12 once they release their airsoft version of the AA-12 Shotgun. In this video by Oleg Volk Photography, the shooter shoots 30 shots in 8 seconds with an Origin 12 Shotgun that has an AR15-like ergonomics and lower recoil. Also seen in the video are the Trijicon RX30 sight and the Silencerco Salvo Suppressor.

Here's the second part on the review done by Travis Haley of Haley Strategic Partners of the new Trijicon Miniature Rifle Optics (MRO). This is a compact optic designed for rifles, carbines and shotguns for fast target acquistion as it has a large aperture in a small body... "Haley Strategic takes the Trijicon MRO to the range for the first range session."
