It seems to be working fine now. Interesting that sig comes out with the p320 Rx and he switched the optic. Surprised they didn't put a Romeo 3 on it at least instead of the rts2.

MHitchcock Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Pretty sure Max is sponsored by c-more. Replacing the optic is a happy medium to keep everyone happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmella Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 http://www.eurooptic.com/leupold-reflex-sights.aspx Looks like they still have them in stock. I wish this was available at this price when I bought one. This is the cheapest I have seen these. I could have saved 70$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abb1 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 It is interesting seeing the DPP being suggested over the RTS2. Everyone I talked to praise the RTS2. Can the DPP be used with the same mount as the RTS2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzt Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 abb1, the DPP and RTS2 mounting hole and pin locations are in completely different locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter1998 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 The Problems with the RTS2 seemed to be resolved, but I think a traditional slideride or railway would be a better sight for a Carbine. Field of view and larger glass will help you with speed. I went with an AImpoint comp m4 compared to smaller T1 because larger field of view.

bigboy69 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I've been shooting the RTS2 on my open 38 super. It has the V4 board in it and I have no issues so far. I also know a guy that has the original RTS2 and has no issues on his 9mm open gun both shooting major PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teros135 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Me, too. Two RTS2 V4s, on Open guns, no problems. Like them a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside to the DPP, imo, is the amount of bulk in your view, just not as clean and minimalistic as the RTS2. You gotta make your own call unfortunately. Why is the RTS2 superior to the standard Slide Ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teros135 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Reliability? RTS2 v4 is as reliable as anything out there. Advantages include the lower sight height and the short body, which reduces (or prevents) hits by ejected brass in 9 major (also 38sc, which is a problem for some). Also, battery life is vastly longer than the slideride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battery life actually had me concerned as with the slide ride, you always have it off until you are ready to shoot. With the RTS2 the cap is the off switch. Do you remove the cap at the start of a match or take it off just when you are ready to shoot? I think most would take it right off and put it in their shooting bag so that it won't get lost, and leave it open throughout the match, leaving the power on.

BoyGlock Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Wish/hope any claim of reliability can be accompanied with number of rounds and caliber if major or minor loads shot with the sight in consideration. Anything less can be misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the cap is simply a cover, to protect the lens. You turn it on or off by holding either of the intensity buttons in for 3 seconds. You can leave it on for the whole day, or turn it off between stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't like the looks of that set up. The RTS2 looks sleek and fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The bulk of the 90 cmore was never an issue for me vision wise (never noticed it while shooting, all my sliderides are grey which may help). I liked the low to the bore dot and I liked the totally clear ejection port. I also loved the big glass and the ability to change dots (I have 6s, 8s and 12s) What ultimately made me want to change to rts2 was: zero adjustment- the slideride adjusts zero by putting pressure on the plastics frame that holds the glass. This is vague at best. It also means changing windage effects your elevation setting. Not cool. It's also prone to zero drift from time to time. The rts2 has proper adjustment in 1moa clicks (1/4 inch at 25yards) and moves the dot module NOT the glass. Batteries - cmore batteries are not available everywhere and are a bit expensive. Rts2 batteries are cheap and easy to find. space for weak hand thumb - this was a big one. I have found with a high 'thumbs forward' grip my wh thumb was getting crowded under the leg of the 90 mount. It was even worse with a thumb rest on there. I now have a permanent split on my wh thumb nail from it getting split by being up against that leg. It now grows pre-split! D'oh! weight - the slideride is 3x the weight of the rts2 and its up high on the gun. Looks - the 90 cmore makes it look like you have some kind of fruity ray gun toy. The rts2 is much sleeker and smaller. Racker - I needed a giant racker to clear my 90 cmore. It was great for table starts but otherwise was ungainly. I have a nice short brazos zigracker now So so far the only real downsides I've found are: non replaceable dot - it comes in 3,6 and 8 moa. Pick one (mine are 8's). Slightly smaller glass - not really an issue I've noticed. I have noticed the rts2 glass is a bit harder to clean right to the edges as the shroud makes it hard to get your finger right to the edge. Cost - it's twice the price of a slideride. Overall its a positive move. The improvements outweigh the few negatives. I'm loving having all that real estate on the left of the gun again. The brightness on my 8moa rts2 has plenty of range even in direct sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
