I thought the sigs were the same mount as RTS2 - which needs an adapter plate? It must be milled as the optics are a good bit longer in front than the RTS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Hello: If anyone is looking at one of these I would suggest you look through both of them if you can. Better still shoot a pistol with one of these on there. I am still torn on which one I like better before I buy one. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas45 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The Romeo 3 XL IS is big to fit plate on CZ. I contacted Stuart at CZC and he said they do not make a plate that fits the 3XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posvar Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Agreed. You have to have to slide milled if you want to use that optic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissCM Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I tested yesterday the Max in 3moa. It's amazing, very happy with it. I broke two Rts2 in the past 10 months. Hope the sig will hold for some 100k rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covfefe Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Can any R3 Max owners provide a durability update with a couple seasons under your belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been using romeo3s since they came out. Pretty much I get between 10-25k live rounds through the optic, and then it’ll have problems with the buttons. Generally I send it into sig, and it’s turned around in 2ish weeks. the button problem is something you can see coming a mile away. and it’s not something that will tank a match. So, I’ve just gotten into a routine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 They last a lot longer on frame mounts where it seems the buttons stop working is the main failure mode rather than moving windage they'd do on slide mounts. The two I put on open guns in 2019 are both needing replacement/repair now. Probably ~30K rounds each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJM Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Early on, they seemed to lose zero, with the fix being to go in and tighten a screw. Sig seems to have fixed that, as mostly all I see are the buttons stopping to work properly, the display lens cracking from impact, and recently one of mine developed a halo around the emitter.

JM_ Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I had one of mine mounted to a Volquartsen pistol and always used a cover when bagging it. A little chip on the glass occurred around the top and sent to Sig and got a new one back in about 2 weeks. They even tell you to keep the mount and battery trays etc, everything but the optic itself. VERY please with the RMA process and will continue to use these dots even if they are a tad fragile.

The halo may be dirt. You can get a zillion-pack of tiny plastic "micro-applicator" Q-tips off Amazon (sold for eye-lining or something so you may get interesting ads for a while), and bend one to get in there and clean.

Mine get that way and I clean them with a little foam window cleaner and a small q-tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
