o27 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 As topic, which other red dots have a similar large Field of View like the SRO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT_Schultz Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) It seems the Leupold Delta Point Pro and the SIG Romeo 3 Max are the closest Trijicon is king when it comes to reliability Edited November 22, 2020 by SGT_Schultz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTrace Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I've got an SRO and the DPP. My SRO is still going strong and if the DPP ever dies, it's getting replaced with an RMR or SRO. The dot is much clearer on the SRO for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahfox32 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I like the FTP Alpha dot. To me it has a good field of view, nice dot, and is less $$$ than the SRO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe more I do not know of if customer dealt directly with Trijicon. Compared to RMR which I have sold several hundred over several years with not a single known failure.

I have three of these and they are working great. I have about 5-6 friends who bought/use these since I told them about them earlier in the last year. They sell out fast though.

How many have you sold to determine "Trijicon is king when it comes to reliability"? Please share with us your statistics. My stats are way more than 5 failures in way less than 128 samples of the Romeo 3 Max, the Deltapoint Pro and the SRO. Many thousands of rounds through all of them. Of the competitors in that space, SROs are the king of reliability. Romeo 3 Max's break 4x as often and Deltapoints at least 3x as often. I don't have personal experience with the RTS2, but I've seen those break more than SROs too. The FTP I have no data on but heard mostly good things.

Are they breaking under use, or as a result of defects? 4 of the 5 SROs I know of just failed to power up after having worked at least once prior. Only one failed during shooting.

Hooked Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 RTS2s have worked ok for me on open guns but not on slide mounted guns - they have failed quickly on production optic guns. Plus the dot quality/brightness of the RTS2 is not as good as other dots. I have had no issues with 2 Romeo 3 Max XLs on open guns, and 2 SROs - one on an open gun and one on a production optic gun. I did have one SRO arrive DOA and was returned to the vendor. I have a DPP on my S2 OR that has close to 35k rounds on it and it continues to run with no issues but it is only a 2.5 MOA dot and not as bright as I would like. I currently like the the Romeo 3 Max XL the best so far due to dot quality and field of view. The SRO comes in second. Dot quality is good, but field of view is taller vs wider like the Max XL. The controls of the SRO are not as easy to use as the Max XL either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o27 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Will probably try out the Delta Optical Stryker in 8 MOA - seems to be a Carbon copy of tha Alpha 3, just available here in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarker13 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I've had great luck with the SRO. Been using one on CO guns for about a year. Before that, I had a rotation of 3 DPPs that were in and out of customer service on a pretty regular basis (at one point they had 2 of my 3 optics at the same time). Great customer service at Leupold, by the way. Just not something you want to have to keep using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcc7x7 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 They all seem to be problematic, nature of the beast. I've used them all, some hold up great others don't I've settled on the Sig's cause I've got three that have lots of rounds on them and have no problems. One DPP going on a new build We'll see how it goes, other DPP's have been good overall with 1 going back for service, It's like reloading to me, if you're going to shoot a lot you have to reload a lot. If you're going to shoot slide mounted optics you're going to have to replace them occasionally. FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7VY Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I’ve got better than 14k on a stock2 using a SRO and an egw plate on top. Only issue I’ve had is a plate shearing a boss and screw. EGW replaced the plate right away. I’ve put a rmr on my open slide using the same EGW plate. Only 25 rounds through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Well, the first of my three went down two days ago. It was frame mounted on a Open gun. Dot turned off after the first shot and could not be turned back on again. I took it home, changed the battery and fiddled with it. Got the dot to come back on. Went to the range. Dot went out after the fourth shot. It's on the way back now. Trouble is they estimate 8 weeks for repair. I robbed one from my PCC. I put the Railway back on. Bummer.

JDIllon Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Anyone shooting the Sig Romeo3 XL? and if so do you know the screw pattern? I really like red dots with lg windows. It's an age thing. Thanks, JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not bulletproof. It’s just another dot. Source: at least half a dozen guys who run one hard that I’ve talked to have broken one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
