GJM Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 New Romeo 3 Max Pro Highlights -- DP Pro footprint, 4 or 8 moa, slightly bigger display than Romeo 3 Max, 2 night vision and 13 daylight intensity adjustments, slightly shorter overall length, same price as R3 Max. Will simplify mounting this optic on slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I did a drive-by on some FFL distributor websites and most of them don't even have them listed as 'coming soon' yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpeters11 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 That’s all I see so far. Does anyone know if we’ll see an XL pro, or is the MAX the only dot getting an upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guess that sig is going to exclusively sell it for a few weeks to squeeze early adopters for full retail price.. my distributor told me he can’t even order it yet.

Sawlsville Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Looking forward to getting my hands on one. Hope that an XL version is on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich406 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 For any interested here are some comparison pics to an old style xl. I don’t have an 1st gen max to compare it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 The pics suggest the window is similar in size to the XL. Is that your impression as well when looking at them both in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The max pro is slightly taller and wider with a different shape. I’ll measure exactly later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street price will probably be 550-600, which is still high comparatively. Edited August 1 by Rich406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Looks like the street price will settle down to about the same as the regular Max/XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich406 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 So a couple things I’d mention. 1. The optic does not correctly fit a dpp footprint. The size and mounting holes line up. But the holes for the mounting lugs aren’t right. I had to do a significant amount of modification to a dpp plate to get it to fit. The holes in the optic are slightly too small and slightly too far apart. I’m not sure if this is a f*#k up, or on purpose. Most sig guns have no mounting lugs, so I’d lean towards f*#k up. My other dpp footprint optics fit the plate I used with no issues. 2. The optic itself is great. There is more brightness adjustability. The window is pretty much xl size, even in width. 3. I got the 3MOA version and the dot is noticeably bigger than a 3MOA in an xl. I’d say it’s closer to 5-6. i went out and shot around 500 rounds yesterday and everything seemed fine.

I haven’t contacted sig yet. i’m using an atlas plate. I have an actual DPP and a vortex defender xl. They both fit the plate perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that makes no sense as I seem to remember that one of the bullet points mentioned was it fit the DPP foot print. Another classic failure by Sig Optics. It will fit "OUR" DPP footprint but not anyone else's. Lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Just wondering if @Rich406 got an early production piece without the kinks worked out. If it isn't a drop-in onto any DPP mount, it will be a disaster for SIG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
