Bakerjd Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 At least around MI I see a lot more R3XL then anything else on open guns and SRO on carry optics guns. Personally I dont have enough experience with any of them but I went with the RTS2 for my open gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin_Joe Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I just switched from Rts2 to the 3Xl and so far I like it better. The wider window is nicer than the round IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Bumping this to see if opinions have changed. I'm now considering one of these to play with on a Carry Optics Glock. I was thinking about the new Holosun 507Comp as well, but can't make up my mind. Currently shooting SRO's, but I think I'm going to be needing another optic so now's the time to evaluate...

I would like to like the Romeo 3Max but I've had at least 3 (maybe 4 I've lost count) returned for warranty issues. Another local guy has gone through 6. One saving grace for the Sig red dots is what appears to be a no questions asked warranty return policy. Call them up, tell them the dot has an issue, they don't bat an eye, issue a RMA and a shipping label, get a replacement back in about 10 days. I was going to try an SRO over the winter and see how it fares. What are your thoughts on your SRO experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to try an SRO over the winter and see how it fares. What are your thoughts on your SRO experience? I have 3 SROs, all less than 3 years old. I have two mounted on Glock 17s (primary & backup), and 1 spare that I haven’t decided what to do with yet (covid panic buy) that I use for action pistol/USPSA matches. One of them stopped working at about the 1 year mark. When I opened the cover to replace the battery, a couple of the finger contacts fell out. They must have broken off the circuit board. Trijicon was great, and replaced the optic, but it took just over a month to get it back. Luckily I wasn’t waiting for it. I like the 5moa dot and have no complaints with the performance. I just wonder if I’d like the bigger window of the XL a little more??? Although, I didn’t realize how expensive they were. They’re almost $200 more than an SRO!! Does anyone know where the best deals are to find one in stock? Preferably somewhere that offers free shipping, and no tax? Maybe my best bet is to wait for Black Friday since I don’t really “need” it just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not always in stock or on sale check out Euro Optics. I have purchased all but one of my SROs though them, 2 Delta Point Pros, one of those was a refurbished unit, and they have all worked without issue. They have pretty good deals from time to time. I cannot remember the tax, but I think shipping was free. I think I bought an XL for $425 one time. I will say that was when the street price was around $600. It seems like the new street price is $699. If the only thing you are looking at is if the glass size makes a difference, in my opinion it does not. I have both SROs and XLs and a couple of Maxs and noticed zero difference on the clock. I switched to the Romeo 3 XL for the double dot issue the SROs have. No double dot on the Romeo 3s that you see with the SRO when pointed into the direction of the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefVanHauwe Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Several years ago I switched from C-More RTS 2 to R3XL on my 3 Open Guns. 2 reasons: 1) larger window and 2) excellent warranty, which I already had to use twice because: buttons did not work anymore, dot was gone. No hastle warranty. New R3XL's within 10 working days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick303 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I will say that Sig's Optic Warranty is on par with Vortex. I had issues with the very first one I bought right after release and got it back on the gun in under 10 days with a new optic. I also believe that is a lifetime warranty now.

I’m just not ready to pay street price yet. As for the wider window, I’m wondering if it will be better for me, since everything I see is “through the window”. I have a very narrow field of vision so I tend to not see what’s not in the window, or very far outside of it. I’ll have to che k one out at the next match, I’m sure there will be at least a couple in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Who makes a decent aftermarket MOS mounting plate for these Sig red dots? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdre352 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I started with a 510 on my PCC, then found a mount for my Open gun. Loved the large window. But then wanted to have the same optics for all my competition guns. I initially had both Max & XL to do a side-by-side comparison and run them. I eventually settled for the XL cause of the larger perceived window and have it on my open, PCC, Carry Optics, and rimfire Mark IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas33 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I have them both and I don’t know which open gun has which. Run them both and they’re the same to me. Can’t go wrong with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
