Trijicon has released its new RCR or Ruggedized Closed Reflex optic, saying it is an extremely durable closed emitter optic that meets the standards for military and law enforcement users when a compact sealed emitter is required.
Trijicon took the RMR [Ruggedized Miniature Reflex] and updated the idea with the RCR. The RCR is said to be exceptionally robust both mechanically and electronically, setting a new standard. Constructed from 7075-T6 aluminum, the Trijicon RCR uses the RMR patented shape and absorbs recoil and impacts to keep the lens secure. The housing for the RCR is rated waterproof up to 66 feet.
The Trijicon RCR comes equipped with 10 brightness settings for the user to manually choose, in addition to the three night vision options and one super bright setting. Like the new RMR HD optic, the RCR is powered by one CR2032 top-loaded battery.That means there is no concern about having to re-confirm the zero when swapping out batteries. The company states that swapping batteries shouldn’t be much of a concern with a 6-year battery life for the RCR using brightness level 5.
The lens of the RCR provides a wide-band true-color light transmission that provides only a minimal change in the target area color. The 3.25 MOA red dot is easily adjusted for elevation and windage without special tools. For the adjustments, each click of adjustment equals 1 MOA, all the way up to 150 MOA.
In addition to all the features of the new RCR, the upgraded electronics are said to ensure performance and survivability in harsh conditions. It comes from the factory with a CR2032 battery, hex Allen wrench, needed mounting capstan screws, manual and torque guide with Loctite. The Trijicon RCR optic has an MSRP of $849.
