Trijicon RMR as a primary optic for an AR?

[lairdski]

Just wondering if anyone out there uses a RMR as their primary optic on an AR-15. I can't decide which red dot to go with and don't see very many RMR's used in this application. Thoughts?

Haven't done it, but sounds like a great low profile setup and could be very light if you took a minimalist approach to it.

I've seen pictures of Pat Mcnamara using that setup, seems to be working quite well for him

Check these out for a little added entertainment/ badassery haha....

Hope I didn't derail the thread, but yea he runs it and it looks pretty sweet. I'd give it a try and see what you think.

Looks like he seems to like running the RMR.

Does anyone here run one as a primary optic?

I currently run the RMR as a primary optic on both my Ps90 (10" barrel) with dot reticle and Swiss Arms CQB with triangle reticle and am awaiting the new green triangle reticle model for one of my ARs. All my RMRs are the dual illumination models meaning no batteries. They are tough as nails and lightweight to the point that they add virtually no weight.

I have owned:
EOTechs (virtually every one made)
Aimpoints (Comps, T1, PRO)
Trijicon RX30
Mepro

The RMR is by far my favourite.
