Perfect weekend for shopping! I've already seen quite a few Labor Day sales being posted.

The irons on the MP5 sit really low, so I'm thinking of just using a QD mount and not worrying about co-witness. Worse case I can toss the optic upon failure and stay in the fight, so to speak.

That battle steel mount I linked back in my post cowitnesses with Aimpoint or Holosuns, not too sure about the MRO.

Not sure how the MRO will mount in conjunction with the sights. But with most any Trijicon product, it'll most likely outlast the irons.
If ya want, you're welcome to bring it up, we'll throw my MRO on it, and you can test it out on my range.

You know, I might just take you up on that. Maybe we could do a training class/optics testing?

I doesn't matter, get a low mount and run with it.
Save a few more bucks ,the MRO is the right move. You're already talking 3 bills just a little more and leaps in quality AND Labor Day sale dude, narrows that gap a little bit.
Very cool.

I've seen an MP5/MRO setup in person, and think it's about as good as it gets. Large FOV, crisp dot, ultra reliable. I didn't pay attention to the cowitness, unfortunately.
I say go with the MRO!

Let me get back to you on that. Holiday weekend and all. No real plans, but I'm not at a spot to commit. How many rounds would I need to bring?

I really like my trijicon mro. Seems durable. The dot is very good and i like the long battery life

Trij does seem to be the Gold Standard for this kind of stuff.

I've used the Aimpoint Pro. It's no frills, but rugged and does the job. My only complaint is that once you've gotten used to a smaller optic, it feels a little bulky.
My other red dot is a Sig Romeo 5XDR. I've heard some complaints about Sigs lower priced optics and I haven't put it through anything extreme by any means, but I like it for the price. You can also change the reticle from a dot to a holographic style sight.
Coincidentally I may be interested in parting with my Aimpoint. In great shape with original packaging.

The Sig Sauer Romeo 5, mentioned previously, is hands down the best value red dot in my opinion, and you can buy two on your budget. It is made by Holosun, who I believe also makes Primary Arms red dots. You can compare them all at primaryarms.com. At $125 shipped (link in post #2) you cannot go wrong!

A bit above budget--I wheel-and-sealed OpticsPlanet only down to $400--but for suckalicious eyes like mine I've heard DI Optical's recommended. It's not zeroed and hasn't seen firing yet, but here's mine:
with and without BUIS
Side view on the Briefcase Monster
So far it's taken the knockaround of briefcase carry in testing well...
