Do you experience the same thing when the sun is behind you? im hoping they would come out with a bigger moa so the dot will be easier to find I have not had that issue yet. It’s sunny here most days that I shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionshooter Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 I decided to give the SRO a try and if I feel like I am wanting more out of the optic the Romeo will be the next try.... Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A key factor was the mounting plate and it seemed to me like there were more options in the RTS pattern than others AND I wasn't interested in $800 optics. The FTP (so far, knock on wood) has been solid. I figured if these guys can source/make tricky parts for cars, why not trust them to make a decent optic. Also consider the FTP Shooting Sports optic. It is basically an updated RTS2 with an bigger window, much nicer buttons and 8moa. It is also brighter and has more available brightness settings. The new Sigs are also very nice but expensive and made by the same place that make RTS2 and FTP. I have used the DPP for years but am switching away from them this offseason.

fatjoe123111 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I have been liking my Holosun 510c a lot. It does get dirty and you have to clean it through out the match but its not that big of deal. Dot is a great size for me and it is very bright. If I were to look for a new dot I would check out the R3 XL. But for now I'm happy with the 510c so no need to spend more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echotango Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I have handled both and for a frame mounted open gun, I went with XL's. Very happy with my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to upgrade mine. If yours doesn't have a blast shield you're fine but if it it does the XL needs more room infront of the glass than the RTS2. The XL has been awesome for the past few months I've been using it. If the longevity is there I won't ever use another dot but the XL or Max.

echotango Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Yes, either an RTS2 mount w/o the blast shield, an atlas or cheely xl/rts2 mount or modify an rts2 blast shield mount. Here is how much longer it is than an rts2. Edited December 18, 2019 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeycor22 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Here’s a photo comparing size: from left to right holosun, sig max Michel, sig Romeo 3 xl, sro, delta point, vertex, cmore, vortex. I went with the cmore as I got an awesome deal on a open box but never used optic. First choice was Romeo 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvmojo Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Picture showing relative sizes is very helpful, thanks for posting. I'd love to see a c-more railway in the group just to have a reference - I shoot a 12 MOA dot for SCSA, and Action Steel - love the big window/big dot!

MadBomber Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I may be getting old, but I still prefer the good old fashioned C-more. Been running one for over 20 years and it just keeps running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunelty this is not my photo, I took a screen shot down time ago so I wouldn’t be able to add the big cmore to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tke37617 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I have several brands and recently went with the Holosun on my open gun. I think the large window and large outer ring (65 MOA) makes target acquisition much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the solar panel on it and the shake to awake option is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it about the C-More that people don't like ? What is the improvement with the Holosuns, etc ? Size and less bulk? The smaller red dots sit much lower to the barrel then the original cmore vertical mount and are much smaller. I know a lot of people use the horizontal mount to get the dot much lower to the barrel. I have seen people completely miss close head shots for the height over barrel and how they zeroed it. That’s just my two cents anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Yeah, you have to aim high up close with a C-More, but you get used to that ... I can see less bulk on a carry gun, but on an Open gun ? And, C-Mores are less expensive (and last forever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvmojo Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I have my C-More mounted horizontally so the dot is essentially where iron sights would be. I also zero it at about 16-17 yds so close shots aren't a problem. If anything, I try to aim a little low on the 35 yd shots - if I think about it that is!

race1911 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) an open gun with a mini red dot is way more balanced, less bulky, and unobtrusive to the field of vision than a full size CMore mounted horizontally...I went thru the whole process from early days of mini red dots in later 90s, to the regular CMore upright, then mounted horizontally which was way better as it was alot closer to the bore but left it unbalanced, bulky and without a clear field of vision.........once I went back to the more advanced mini red dots I knew I would never go back to the full size CMore....even less reason now that mini red dots are approaching the size window of the regular CMore, becoming more dependable than they used to be, and added features such as auto turn on/off, some with night vision modes etc (which the regular CMore has failed to advance with) plus the adaptability to other types of handguns (instead of just Open div raceguns) as well as AR15s, PCCs, and shotguns Edited January 1, 2020 by race1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
