The 6moa Romeo 1 is the only one I know of that is available now. But pretty sure everything will be getting extra brightess. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Interesting. How will we be able to identify a “new” model Romeo 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Interesting. How will we be able to identify a “new” model Romeo 3?I dont have any knowledge of that. But I'm sure when stuff comes out it will become obvious. Will be some kind of difference. New model etc.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacivilian Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 New optics have been rumored to come out at shot show and then release for sale in March. Max has designed a new dot that was created to meet the needs of competition shooters and I know someone who has seen it in person and they believe it will be worth the wait as it combines the R1 and R3 while having an even bigger lens.

vgdvc Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Thanks to all who responded to this thread. I received my Romeo3 today. Only had it out of the package turned on next to my Cmore slide ride but Wow! Looks very promising! I have to decide on n a mount. Either Brazos slipstream or Atlas/RHT with blast sheild. I have a 5" barrel Brazos pistol with 4 popples so I may contact Brazos and see if I need a sheild or not. It was also glad to see Romeo 3 is made in Japan. Good optics and QC compared to China etc. I'll report back once it is in use..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would get the Atlas with blast shield solely so that you won't get oil flying up on the lens, gas isn't usually the issue. 4 popples means 4 holes for oil to slip through and get thrown onto the lens.

If anyone has no use of their romeo3 low Picatinny mount I would be interested in it to put it on my Vepr 12 - PM me or respond here if willing.

Knguyen1904 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 On 12/16/2018 at 6:53 PM, lacivilian said: It is essentially a slightly better version of the RTS2. Same mounting pattern and Atlas sells R3 specific mounts. Every DPP shooter that has played with my R3 has been an immediate convert. It really is a very very good option. I kinda disagree with this . I ran the R3 for a little over a month and shot maybe 3k rounds before it broke. Kept shutting off in the middle of stages randomly. Happened twice at a club match nd once at a sectional . I also had a similar experience with a DPP but that took maybe 6k before it broke. Been running an rts 2 since and it has over 10 k with zero issues. And i see most people running rts 2 s around my area and have had good results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, selling a broken red dot to a member on this forum without stating it is about the shittiest thing I can think of. I would be ashamed to shoot with or against you one day.

Garmil Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Do you know the one he sold is the one he was referencing and not a replacement or a different one? You're acting like it's news to you so the one you bought must be working.. seems like a bunch of people are assuming a little too much to me.

Shmella Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) I have put very limited amount of rounds through the gun with it. It came well used looking so I’m assuming it’s the one. Also have noticed the brightness dropped to the lowest setting one time mid shooting. Maybe it’s not the one he’s referring to but I think it is...

The one I was having issues with I threw on my at pistol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knguyen1904 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 For the record I messaged shmella offering to buy it back if he truly feels I sold him a knowingly broken dot . The one I sold him was off my backup practice gun which had not been giving me any issues . Again the broken one is now on my AR rifle I just plink with .

Shmella Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I take back all the mean things I said. Not every mean thing I have ever said, just the ones about Knguen1904 selling me a broken dot. Sorry for jumping to conclusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetAwayDriva Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 If you have a Romeo 3 that shuts off while shooting, try tightening the tiny screws on the underside of the optic. I had a Romeo 3 that was shutting off. I called Sig and they said that was usually the reason for that particular problem. So I took the dot off the mount and sure enough every one of those tiny screws was loose. Tightened them back up and haven’t had a problem.
