Posvar Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Where can an XL be purchased at a decent price these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posvar Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Is the XL any longer in front that it may not work on certain mounts? I have a Limcat RTS2 mount on my SaberCat and would like to just drop one on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call them for options. It will not drop right on the Limcat mount.

BigBamBoo Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 The latest Cheely mount works within the XL, RTS2, etc. it is longer and has a “cut out” in the front to accept the XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The V2? I heard last week that a V3 is in the works now. Maybe that is what you are referring too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJM Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I have been running a R3 Max as primary on a G34 CO pistol for just over a month. Prefer it to the SRO. Yesterday, during a match, the dot failed. Will be sending back to Sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First reported failure I've seen (obviously there's more, but I haven't seen or heard of any and haven't been looking at many forums other than Enos). What happened?

GJM Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Dot went out. I shook it, fired a shot, and worked the slide, but couldn’t get it to come back on. After a dozen or so shots, using just index, it came back on. My wife and I have five between us. She had one where the dot went intermittent, and it stopped holding zero in windage. That is back with Sig for replacement. We love the optic — bright, great in a forward sun angle, little frame, and lots of dot intensity adjustment in the usable range. Do wish the up and down buttons had more resistance, as you have to be careful how you grab it. Also, for competition use, wish Sig ditched MOTAC, as it is just a possible failure mode.

I'm not big on MOTAC either. I have no problem shutting it off when I'm done shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
