Hawk21 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 SRO 5moa showed up today and I would like to stay with a double sided mount. Anyone know of a builder making these that hasn't hit the market? Only option I have found to date is single sided Cheely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robb315 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I think Akai has a double sided Trijicon mount available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering one myself, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Not the OP, but I've been running a 5 min SRO in Open for a few weeks on a modified Dawson mount. I'm pretty happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgdvc Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Thanks Hawk21 and shred. I put a Romeo3 on my Brazos Custom Open(38.super). I like the handling ,feel ,size ,looks Etc but the 3 moa and the fact that it could be a little brighter has me regretting taking the 6 moa Cmore Slideride off thus far.

Hoping to find a small body, large window optic to take the place of the Romeo 3 I am in the same boat. I ran a Romeo 3 and now have a 510c. Both are a bit hard for me to track in certain light conditions. I just took the 2032 battery out of both of them and put in two 2016’s. Much brighter. Haven’t tested yet. If it doesn’t help I will probably try one of the new dots(SRO or Max)..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn’t help I will probably try one of the new dots(SRO or Max)..... I bought a 510c to run on my PCC. Could not find the small dot quick enough and did not like the dot/circle combination so it is now back in the box like new. Put a 6 MOA Cmore railway on it all is good with plenty of precision out to 50 yards plus. I'm hoping the 5moa SRO is the solution for my open pistol. Test reports have said how easy it is to find the dot even on awkward angles, leans Etc. Of course it will be interesting to see how it compares to the new Romeo Maxx....

shred Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 The Max is a little larger with a thinner 'surround' on the lens. The SRO has a bit more 'tube' to it, which can be handy in awkward positions if you like that sort of thing and feels a bit more rugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The 3 Max I have is extremely bright with the regular battery. It'll flare-out the dot even in full Texas afternoon sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
