SIG Sauer ROMEO5 Red Dot - 2MOA

Primary Arms for $120

I love mine. I would buy another if I was not switching to Prism and LPVO due to my Eyesite

Love these

Between the romeo5 and vortex sparc 2 which would you guys suggest?

Romeo romeo romeo

I have one of these on my SBR. Although I rarely use it because I keep it stored beneath my drywall. Shh....don't tell bpriefert.

Seriously though It's a great optic.

I have one I need to mount on my .300 blk pistol.

I agree with eyeguy - Romeo > Sparc 2.

If you are looking for other budget red dots and can wait until they're back in stock again, then you might take a look at the Primary Arms SLx MD-25.

They were on sale for roughly $130 about a week or so ago so I snagged one. Shot with it yesterday, and I was really impressed.

Or if you can spend a few more bucks, the Holosun 403c with the solar cell. Holosun makes the Romeo

I found a Holosun in my rental car a couple of years ago. In the box. Took it as payment for screwing me. It was hidden in the trunk. Gonna bring my Grendel and .300 blk in after Christmas and have you sight in or see what I screwed up.

How did the previous renter screw you?

Love my Romeo but for my astigmatism...switched to prisms and lpvos. Primary arms mainly.

I'm always tempted when I see these. They pop up at this price every couple of weeks.

I find the shake awake feature to be more sensitive on the sig. I am not sure why.

Oooooo damn it... I need one of those

Because it was the garage's car they use for personal use. Don't start something you know nothing about.

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm going to flaunt my ignorance anyway. There is a very wide price range when it comes to red dots; I've seen any from $20 or $30 on up to $700 and I'm guessing even higher. I'll preface this by saying I have almost no experience with red dots. I understand the difference between a cheap scope and an expensive scope but what features or qualities of a red dot justify the cost difference?

Battery life of 50,000 hours with the mid range Red dots
Dots that come on with movement sensors when the weapon is picked up
Durability of the housing, clearness of the glass, tends to increase with cost

Ok I gotcha. Not trying to derail, but that's not a rental car. That's a loaner car. I understand now. I know nothing about it other than what you posted. You were unclear.

99% of the $20-$100 red dots are for airsoft and won't really hold zero well on anything with more punch than a 30 cal.

I do love my Romeo 5 I got a year and a half ago on a deal at $99. I just got my boss a Sparc 2 for Xmas because all my other optics are vortex (except one PA 4-14x) and cortex has treated me well. He said he prefers the Romeo. Haha.

I was just at PA on Thursday. Man are they busy right now.
