Does anybody here think the Trijicon VCOG 1-6x24 is worth $2300??? Maybe if I am a mercenary who will HALO jump into some hell hole. For the rest of us, that price tag seems insane.

Vixen is a little known brand in the US but much more reasonable, and made at Light Optical in Japan right alongside the $2-3K traditional high end brands. Best deal out there in high end stuff right now IMHO.
If you go with one of the 4x fixed jobbers just be careful to check eye relief. Some of them are not good in that department. Genuine thing will probably be fine but some of the similar prismatic scopes, even the more expensive ones, can have very short eye relief and that gets old fast.
For the 2nd rifle , I love My Trijicon MRO. Put it in a Geisselle mount since I don't need QD.

The MRO (now the mro patrol) is about 5x as heavy, and has a much larger FOV. The RMR fits onto the top of a pistol slide, whereas the MRO probably would be pretty hilariously unwieldy in most similar applications. The RMR has anywhere from a 1 to a 13 MOA dot of varying colors and designs. The MRO has a red dot. Not sure on size, probably about 2 MOA. The MRO Is likely to be better suited on an AR15 or other MSR, but you could use either one if you had a strong preference.Any chance you know the difference between the Trijicon MRO and RMR? Why pick one over the other?
Right now, I think I am leaning toward the MRO with a low mount QR base for the SBR. I am going to use offset iron sights on the rifle, so no need for co-witness mounts.

Primary Arms 1-6 acss with the horseshoe reticle. They also just came out with a 1-8. These are both extremely good deals.
I really want the Trijicon MRO for my SBR. But I think there are better deals to be had.
If money is not a major factor, get the Accupoint and the MRO.
