This brings their products into compliance with NATO and U.S. military specifications, as well as international MIL Standards.
Needless to say, this sets the bar high for the product.
The Details
So, we have clearly set our expectations here.
Rifle optics are more popular than ever. The author reviews the Meprolight Tru-Vision red dot optic in this article.
Would the Tru-Vision live up to them?
The result is a compact design that is also quite lightweight, weighing in at just 10 ounces.
When first unboxing the Meprolight, I noticed immediately that the packaging was top-tier.
The author found the Meprolight optic mounted quickly to the Picatinny rail of hisSpringfield SAINT rifle.
Atop the sight is a nice soft dust cover to protect the optic in storage.
Does packaging matter regarding the actual capabilities of the product?
So, from the start, my initial impressions were good.
When shooting from the prone and supported positions, the author achieved excellent groups using theTru-Vision optic.
The optic is an enclosed sight with lenses featuring a crystal-clear non-reflective display optic windows.
There are 12 daytime prefs, and four night prefs.
The buttons are recessed, which is nice as it helps prevent accidental activation or adjustment.
When you do your job, the optic will do what it should as shown on thisSplatter Shot reactive target.
This feature is fantastic if you like to paint your optics.
When testing optics, the first thing I test out is the brightness of the optic.
Naturally, I also tested that out.
The author believes the Meprolight Tru-Vision is a duty-quality optic that is rugged with a bright aiming point across all light levels.
It looked great under night vision, remaining crisp and clear in the four night-vision brightness options.
This sensor allows the emitter to auto-adjust the brightness of the reticle.
I found that this helped immensely when in a room and aiming out through a window into brighter conditions.
The Meprolight has a light sensor to read ambient light levels on the front of the optic. This sensor auto-adjusts the brightness of the reticle.
I was also pleased to learn that the optic has high-quality turrets to adjust the point of impact.
The turrets adjust the point of impact by using a flat head knob of 0.5 MOA per click.
The click adjustments of the turrets are stiff, but not too stiff.
They have very nice positive clicks that are both felt and heard as you adjust the point of impact.
That means its easy to count out the adjustments as you feel the sturdy clicks.
Needless to say, my first impressions of quality were born out to be true.
But what about durability and performance on the range?
To find out, I started out by getting a good zero at 50 yards.
I dropped the gun twice in the grass and saw no point of impact change.
Then, we moved to a harsher test, dropping the optic onto limestone from six feet.
The optic had zero damage to it besides one scratch on the polymer housing.
The glass was still perfectly clear with no damage whatsoever.
The optics large viewing window is perfect for quick target acquisition and would be ideal for close-quarters target engagement.
