I like the Max, but the SRO has proven reliable so far, so i’ll probably use that through nationals. The dot on the Max is way more adjustable, and the thinner bezel is nice. That said, they are fairly equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the max proves to be as reliable does the bigger window and thinner bezel give it the edge? Does the sro sit noticeably lower to the bore?

bomadera Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Sig CS just told me that the Romeo3Max not only will not fit my X5, but will not fit any Sig pistol. As I understand it, Max designed it for his X5, what's the logic behind Sig producing this and not fitting any of their guns? The CS guy told me I'd have to buy a Springer adapter plate to install it on my gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 5 min SRO and a 6 min 3 Max on two otherwise identical Open guns and now around 1500 rounds through the SRO and about 600 on the Max. I think the Max has a slight edge in that application, but I can swap back and forth instantly with no noticeable change in times on drills, so will probably put the SRO on my CO gun if the Max holds up.

Akkid17 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Really interested in the longevity of the SRO and MAX, it's a pretty neat time to be getting into CO and open with all the new mini dots coming out. Hopefully they don't become a crap shoot like the DPP's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverscooby27 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Unlike CO, Open is not about the optic because the C-more stuff works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJK Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Thanks for sharing, beautiful optic. Does r3max have a conspicuous blue tint on lens as well? Is it more blue than sro or less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyr264 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Anyone had an idea when this optic is available? Also, if I read this thread correctly, it will not fit an M17, is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Romeo 1 if you drill out the scope holes a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyr264 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Thanks. Sig sure doesn't make it easy to keep track of what fits where..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOF Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 SIG dropped the ball on direct slide mounting. But.. on a Picatinny rail it is an AWESOME sight for Open, PCC, RFRO, RFPO, and anywhere else a Picatinny mount fits. I have one... and have had it on a PCC and RFRO. Love it!

Slide4949 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) I had a issue this week at a match with sun glare on my SRO. Has anyone experienced that annoying issue? Thinking about getting a SIG max, could your experience the same thing with it? I did dialed the brightness down.

Posvar Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 My 6 MOA max showed this week and I can’t wait to get it on my open gun. The quality of dot, crisp glass, thinner bezel, and easy and positive button function and adjustments are very impressive. Hope it holds up!

Dazhi Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Anyone care to update on their R3 Max reliability after 10k or 20k rounds? Seriously considering going the R3 Max route over SRO. The ghost dot under certain sun angel on the SRO is too much a problem for me personally. R3 Max does not seem to have that serious of a problem.

Posvar Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I only have 1500 rounds on mine but I can tell you that shooting into the sun is not an issue. The glass is extremely nice and I wish I would’ve found this optic sooner. I will continue to update as I get more rounds on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I have 4 R3 XL's which is similar. 1 has over 10k, 1 about 5k and 1 about 2k. No issues at all, even shooting into the sun. These are mounted on open guns with barrel holes. Edited February 29, 2020 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still using the original battery and haven't done a hard shut down so I can see how long the battery lasts. So far it's been about 4 months.
