I got the 3MOA, but this thing is REALLY bright. It's much brighter than the DPP 2.5MOA. I'll be sighting it in later this afternoon... WOW! The DPP 2.5MOA is damn bright. I am now interested in the Pro 3MOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillR1 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 So I got to shoot the 3MOA R1Pro and my new 6MOA R1T yesterday side by side. The dots are remarkably similar. Both come with a steel shroud and the new-style cover and battery tool. Both dots are seriously bright! I was shooting into almost direct sunlight for a test. I could still see the dots easily even a couple of clicks down from max brightness. The only differences I could see in the two sights (besides the dot size) are the R1T has a slight bluish tint on the lens (invisible when shooting) and the R1Pro is a little longer to fit the Legion cut. That's it! I have the R1T on my original X5 and the Pro is on the Legion. I don't really have a preference at this point which size dot I like better. They both are easy to pick up at speed during draws and transitions. Even during group shooting, I didn't notice one dot moving around more than the other. The 3MOA Pro seems a little more precise at 20+ yards, but up close they're both great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitman_usmc Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 EuroOptics has always been awesome. I've purchased several high end scopes for precision rifles from them and there has never been an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokarev Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 So other than the brightness/power controls being outside the viewing window what would prompt someone to but the SIG over the Leupold? Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eboadway Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I'm putting a RomeoPro on my second Legion as the DPP contact keeps sliding backwards. I'll send it back to be repaired once the Romeo arrives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I think 6moa is perfect for uspsa. The dot is only covering 1.5" at 20 yards, you should still be able to get A zone head shots with that margin. But I'm old with crap eyes and the 6moa is what's visible to me hahha. 2.5/3 might as well be invisible hahha. My local gun shop called me as they had a couple 1 Pros come in and were on the shelf.

George16 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I got rid of all my 3 and 3.25 MOA red dots and bought 6 moa dots at the beginning of the since my vision got worse. It’s only going to get worse too as I get older . Check out Impactguns.com. They had some yesterday. I don’t need one so I didn't order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
