So if you have a blast sheid on your mount that goes right to the front of your RTS2 it might be an issue. And maybe I was mistaken about the RTS2 I was looking at but It seemed damn bright. The Sig's are definitly everything I would want in an optic though, big glass and the dot is bright enough that you would never need anything brighter.

echotango Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Pic of how much longer the XL is over an RTS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there should be an industry standard footprint so all optics fit all mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Nothing I would want to shave off a $500 optic. just buy a new mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sharpied the rts2 mount, put the sig scope on the mount and lightly screwed it down, and scribed the mount around the base of the optic... I then took the optic off and trimmed the mount up to the line (always cut on the cheaper part.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
