I’m really impressed with Sig optics. I put a Romeo5 on my wife’s AR for its shake awake capability and its light weight. For $120, there’s nothing like it.
I had the Romeo 7 as my primary optic for years on my 16”. Only complaint I had was weight, shake awake was awesome, 64,000 hrs of battery life, and runs on a conventional battery. Switched to the Romeo 5 and am just as happy.
@@joeprimal2044 personally I found it easier to get on target quicker with the five. Less weight to throw around and since there is no magnification I threw on a 3x magnifier behind my 5 and I really like the combo. Willing to sacrifice weight saved with the vortex vmx. I did really like the really common battery on the 7, if I remember correctly it was an AA. The 7 is a tank and I often found the QD mount of the 7 got snagged on gear and though it locks it was kind of a passive paranoia thinking it would pop open. If I could do it again I would stick with the 5 I think. Light, fast, durable, and ultimately cost effective. Personal opinion if you’re looking at a big red dot like the 7 maybe look at some 3x optics or even a LPVO Like a 1x4 just to have a little something extra that comes with the weight.
Good to know. I have the Romeo 5 and my biggest concern has been struggling to stay on target 100 yards out. Putting a magnifier behind the 5 should work well. 🤙🏾
I have two Romeo7’s and two Aimpoint PROs. I feel guilty that I like the optic that I paid 1/3 the price for. The Romeo7 is an awesome optic. I recently bought a Romeo 7s. I like the ergonomics of the 7s, but it has a lot of red blur around the radius. I would suggest the 7 over the 7s. I was warned in the reviews before buying the 7s. I was hoping the reviewer just got a bad one. Nope, his complaint described my 7s perfectly. Strongly recommend the 7, not the 7s.
I'll echo the fact that the 7s has a terrible dot. I fell into that same mistake of hoping the reviewers just got a lemon. Hard to believe that a company with a large reputation would knowingly put out quality-lacking products like that... but also not recall them and fix the issue so that they are good to go. Instead, they continue to manufacture them the same, and oddly enough, people keep buying them. It's a shame too, as I REALLY wanted to like that optic.
@@randomactsofriding4850 Micro - eye relief leaves a lot to ask for, but for the price I can't complain. I removed my rear BUIS and put the magnifier on the first rail slot and it's doable. I've never tried anything fancy so I can't compare it to much.
I have one Aimpoint Pro and several Sig Optics and have been very satisfied with all of them. A Romeo 8h, two 4t's a 4s a Romeo 5 and 5x and a Juliet 4. I generally like the 8h for its large window like an Eotech. The 4t and 4s for the micro size. Have motion on and off. The solar panels give you 100,000 hours of battery life and more redical options than the Aimpoints price, basic red dot weight and size. Sig optic are used by FBI on now the military.
I have a CompM3 and a Primary Arms SLx. Being honest here, I can't really tell much a difference between the two. I've had them both now for about 8 years, and the batteries in the PA have outlasted the Aimpoint. Can't say how the PA would hold up in battle, mainly because my battle days are over. It's fantastic at punching holes in paper though!
Sig optics are getting better. I have a Romeo MSR on my beater MCK Roni in my trunk and have used it for two years. For a 100$ red dot it has taken a lot of abuse and still maintains zero/never dims. Good stuff.
REF: Sig Romeo7- 30mm Lens/Aimpoint CompM4s- 23mm Lens. The larger 7mm sight picture difference was the deciding factor with my lower 1/3 ScalerWorks fixed Irons setup. I went with the Sig, but the Aimpoint is excellent as always. Nice review.
Dude I have a Romeo 7 on my duty rifle for a reason. It's as good, with very good battery life. The main advantage of the aimpoint is actually the mount quality.
@@TisiphonesShadow if it ain’t from the US, I don’t care where it’s from, good is good. I would love us optic on all my rifles… but sadly that’s not finically responsible
The only reason they can even build it like that, being so close to the same, is because the patent probably expired... which means the Sig will likely last just as long and be just as durable-- because it's essentially the exact same. Maybe someone could cut them open and prove me wrong-- but I bet it's just a direct copy.
@@noHandle1776 Yeah.. China brands like to rob their slaves-- that why they're cheap; US brands like to rob our slaves-- being us, the tax payer citizens who buy their products.
I happen to have a romeo 7. Excellent optic but i would skip the qd mount personally because it's a little harder to keep it torqued down enough to hold with heavy use. That's to be expected for a budget optic though. I just use the regular mount and it's been great.
I purchased an Aimpoint PRO for 450 dollars something ago. It's a great optic with absolutely no issues. I also purchased a Field Sport Red Dot for 25 dollars. The Field Sport had the lens come off, the glass became dull and the battery has run down and replaced several times, but it still keeps on ticking. You get a lot of value with the Sig Optics, and they are not some cheap fly by night outfit. That is what I am planning on getting to replace the Field Sport, but it refuses to give up.
I've bought a few Field Sports over the years. loll.. They work pretty well.. short battery life like you said-- and they can fog up in the cold if the conditions are just right..... But man, you get a solid deal for that $25; it will definitely get you burned through a fortune in ammo.
@@calholli Thanks for sharing your experience with the Field Sports optics. It's like a place holder for getting the perfect optic for your rifle. They have the best bang for the buck.
I have the SIG Romeo 7 and from my own experience, and also per many reviews from others, say this is a GREAT optic for the price. It retains its zero when removing from and reinstalling back onto my AR 15. Did not realize how close it is to the Aimpoint, so now l like my Romeo 7 even more! thanks so much for your comparison video. It is my understanding that SIG discontinued production of this red dot. Thx.
Just started watching, but there is a affordable Aimpoint. The P.R.O., sub 500, it may not have the the same features the comp m4 or m5 but for a "budget" aimpoint I would take it over any other.
I have an Aimpoint PRO and am not disappointed. I would put the PRO along the lines of not diving like a SEAL but still defending the home or the farm. I bought it for the home and it has been good to me since 2012. I replace the batteries every 2 years when everyone else replaces it every year "to be safe". Be safe out there.
Could you get the Romeo 7s OPMOD from Optics Planet to review? It looks like a budget friendly Aimpoint M5s. It’s the same price as the Romeo 7 OPMOD too
Clicked on this thinking I would hear a review on a sig Romeo 7. Talked mainly about the aim point. Could have cut 5 minutes of video out If it was just about the sig optic. Please do a video about the sig Romeo 7. Could care less about the aim point to expensive.
The only reason they can even build it like that, being so close to the same, is because the patent probably expired... which means the Sig will likely last just as long and be just as durable-- because it's essentially the exact same.

Definitely not saying it’s AS tough has the Aimpoint, but if you watch Beyond Seclusion’s review that Romeo 7 is very tough. It was dropped onto a deck from 15+ feet, submerged in a hot tube for 90 minutes and frozen in a chest freezer for an hour. Obviously not good to 150 ft submersion and all that but man it just seems like even as a duty optic it would hold up fine.
I have an AimpointPro since 2010 with the same battery. I have a bit of astigmatism, but it never flares on the aimpoint. I've tried other red dots such as Holosun, Vortex, Sig, and Primary Arms. The Aimpoint has never been shutoff in the last 7 years. Its worth every penny!
It's probably worth mentioning that the Sig is made in China, whereas Aimpoint is not (Sweden I think?). Some people (me) are willing to pay for products not made in China.
@@chrisingram1155 this is true. Especially with smartphones. American components, Korean components ALL MADE IN CHINA!!! (based on what russian cosmonaut say in "Armageddon")

So happy sig came out with this. I have a micro red dot and don't like it as much as the aimpoint I had on my service rifle. Just can't justify a non magnified optic for the price of the aimpoint.
Stick with aimpoint if you were already planning and budgeting for it. Buy once cry once, the aimpoint will last way longer, though personally I would go with the t2 over this model
@@Arcain321 aimpoint is way overrated, youre paying for the name. Do as you please though, its your $ its definitely not going to "last way longer" though.

Aimpoint all the way I had a significant transfer of heat of a rifle of mine that had a vortex long story short the heat fried the red dot so I'm going with the aimpoint
I have the T2 on the higher cost dmrII and a holosun on the pistol. No appreciable difference aside from the ruggedness factor. Shake awake seems to be more suited to an emergency use situation. On a side note, put a cheapo on the .50, and surprisingly holds zero without issue. By cheapo, I mean 40$. With 23lbs of recoil, this really blew me away. Probably don't want to drop it, but all things considered, 40$ well spent.
I have been eyeballing a Romeo5 because I figured these larger 30mm objective sights would fetch a higher price than a micro 20mm. Now that I’ve seen this video I’m really liking the look of one of these. I was kinda wanting the larger body red dot as opposed to the micro. Any recommendations? Are there any significant differences between 20mm micros and these larger 30mm ones; or is it just mostly size/weight?
Between the Romeo 5 and 7, mostly size and weight. 7 takes the more common AA battery vs a CR2032A, and the 7 has a 30mm diameter lens vs the 20mm on the Romeo. Both can be magnified
I'm def gon pick this up I got a sig Romeo ... And I love it zeroed perfectly out of the box 50-100 m so I imagine this one be very similar ..been wanting something like this for a while I am also in the market for good low profile red dot for my ak47
Just got this today, I’m hoping it will hold zero on my 12 gauge Bullpup, the Romeo5 and the MSR did not. I’m going to the range and testing tonight . I’ll update.
I've wanted a Sign Romeo 5 for a while now. But I'd have to say I'm really impressed with the Primary Arms Advanced 30mm Red Dot sight. It seems to be an aimpoint clone and rugged as could be. Just wish it had a "shake awake" like the Sig line does.
It you do looking at Sig. I would recommend you check out the Romeo 4 series over the 5. You have more redical options and to me the dot is sharper. The one with the solar panels give you 100,000 hours of battery life.
The solar panels are a gimmick. They only power the optic when the battery dies, it doesn't charge the optic. When powered by the solar panel, pretty much all red dots are too dim to use effectively, especially under stress. If you're shooting from cover in the shade, you probably won't even be able to see your dot.
I don't know if you have done a video on slings but I think that would be a good one to do. I have been looking at the McLean sling and Sly Tactical specifically TR-2. Keep making awesome videos Sir
Here is my take on things like this. Sig is a reputable company and not necessarily an off brand company. So if you are looking for a new pickup truck, and the new Ford F-150 costs 40K and the Chevy 1500 costs 30K. Does it really matter that the military has a contract that use the F-150! Or should I say the trucks the Taliban are using…
they are great big tubes... and CHEAP like borsch i got another off dvor for like 150... i regret not getting two. and now the worse new they are discontinued so get them while they are hot! also has a shake awake feature so you can leave it on for years. P.S. if it has down sides its heavy
Great video as always. Love your content and the updates on 2A news. Question. What is a good optic for a shotgun? I have a VR80 from RIA that I want to run during 3Gun competition. Not sure what optic to get for the shotgun.
Luv my romeo 7 on my franken ar15. Got it when I bought my first AR. Upgraded most of it except the romeo. I see no need for better since I am not an operator. Just an old fat & broken granpa.
Big difference is how water proof they are. The comp m4 is good to 25-50 meters while the sig is only waterproof down to 1. I guess that matters to some people, and why the aimpoint costs so much.
I have one Aimpoint and several different Sig optics. that I tend to like better because for the price you get better battery life on some models, more redical options and choices. Other the the Aimpoint's basic red dot. Sig optics are used by FBI and now military.
Have you seen the video where the guy freezes the 7 and throws it from a second story onto pavement while frozen and turns it on without any issues. Like nothing happened. That was enough proof for me that the 7 is pretty freakin tough. Like to see if aimpoint would survive that
I purchased an aim point pro and i was disappointed. It would not light up it was super dim even after trying two new batteries. When it comes to aim point I’ll keep but the more expensive version
The way I see it is the aim point is slightly better for being 3x the price and Ik I’m not gonna be able to break the sig with my use, I’d change my battery’s every year I don’t think I’d ever buy the comp m4 I’d rather have 3 Romeo 7’s for more guns then getting the comp m4
Why pay more for a 7 when the 5 exist? Just for the qd, flash kill, and flip ups? I like 5s they can be found for 100 and are the best budget optic because they are the cheapest that are actually good used to be the trs25 but the romeo 5 is light years better. I feel like once you get to 200 why not save up a bit more and get a pro or mro🤷♂️ If you want an optic on all your guns ASAP I recommend the romeo 5 and then once everything has a dot you can upgrade to higher end over time and push older red dots to other guns or sell them. I guess I am just black and white lol hella cheap or all the way I don’t see many benefits for inbetween
AA battery vs 2032. That can be a big deal, even though they both claim 50K hours of battery life. Batteries will crap out on you, those estimates are always laboratory conditions. Add Murphy factor and it will crap out when you need it. I already have need to carry AAs, one less thing to keep track of.
@@tenchraven true and valid point however I will Take the inconvenience of the battery type over the weight and price. You are going to or should stock up on any batteries you need for optics. I do think in some rare case where some shtf for years and your optic died you’d find as aa but you should already have batteries. And I think if my optics ran on common batteries I would actually run out of them more because I’d be using them for remote controls and stuff. With those 2032s I have enough for years and they are small and lightweight you can put them in anywhere. doesn’t seem like any real benefit that’s why the t2 is of the most Gucci optic and most seen vs the comp m5 or the like. The weight savings is worth more than the battery difference.if it was more durable though that would interest me someone should do a destruction test romeo 5 vs Romeo 7 vs t2 vs comp5

On a side note, put a cheapo on the .50, and surprisingly holds zero without issue. By cheapo, I mean 40$. With 23lbs of recoil, this really blew me away. Probably don't want to drop it, but all things considered, 40$ well spent.
I would like to see a review of the tract optics response ar rifle scope
I wish they still had the FDE version available 😢
Rattlecan my dude.
Thanks
I have been eyeballing a Romeo5 because I figured these larger 30mm objective sights would fetch a higher price than a micro 20mm. Now that I’ve seen this video I’m really liking the look of one of these. I was kinda wanting the larger body red dot as opposed to the micro. Any recommendations? Are there any significant differences between 20mm micros and these larger 30mm ones; or is it just mostly size/weight?
Between the Romeo 5 and 7, mostly size and weight. 7 takes the more common AA battery vs a CR2032A, and the 7 has a 30mm diameter lens vs the 20mm on the Romeo. Both can be magnified
Can we get an update on your RIA X4, we’re you able to get a extended magazine tube yet?
Cool nice man thanks I have the pro and like it but it was not cheap been saving for a T2 but dam.
I'm def gon pick this up I got a sig Romeo ... And I love it zeroed perfectly out of the box 50-100 m so I imagine this one be very similar ..been wanting something like this for a while I am also in the market for good low profile red dot for my ak47
Great info and keep up the great work on RUclips
I put my Romeo7 on my CZ scorpion and I love it.
I love sig optics, I love to FDE and am interested in trying this optic but as soon as you said optics planet exclusive I noped out
Love mine. It's my favorite optic
Do aimpoint mounts work? Like interchangeable?
Just got this today, I’m hoping it will hold zero on my 12 gauge Bullpup, the Romeo5 and the MSR did not. I’m going to the range and testing tonight .
I’ll update.
Update?
I've wanted a Sign Romeo 5 for a while now. But I'd have to say I'm really impressed with the Primary Arms Advanced 30mm Red Dot sight. It seems to be an aimpoint clone and rugged as could be. Just wish it had a "shake awake" like the Sig line does.
It you do looking at Sig. I would recommend you check out the Romeo 4 series over the 5. You have more redical options and to me the dot is sharper. The one with the solar panels give you 100,000 hours of battery life.
The solar panels are a gimmick. They only power the optic when the battery dies, it doesn't charge the optic. When powered by the solar panel, pretty much all red dots are too dim to use effectively, especially under stress. If you're shooting from cover in the shade, you probably won't even be able to see your dot.
I don't know if you have done a video on slings but I think that would be a good one to do. I have been looking at the McLean sling and Sly Tactical specifically TR-2. Keep making awesome videos Sir
I have the Vickers tactical blue force gear sling on several builds and love it, check it out if you haven’t already. Excellent quality
Thank you for the update.. 👍
Here is my take on things like this. Sig is a reputable company and not necessarily an off brand company. So if you are looking for a new pickup truck, and the new Ford F-150 costs 40K and the Chevy 1500 costs 30K. Does it really matter that the military has a contract that use the F-150! Or should I say the trucks the Taliban are using…
Toyota is the main pickup truck in Afghanistan. USA left a bunch of new Toyota trucks there.
they are great big tubes... and CHEAP like borsch i got another off dvor for like 150... i regret not getting two. and now the worse new they are discontinued so get them while they are hot! also has a shake awake feature so you can leave it on for years. P.S. if it has down sides its heavy
HOW CAN A1/2-3/4 OF AN OUNCE SCREW UP DAY?? GROW A SET AND PUT DOWN THE CAN OF WAX!!
Great video as always. Love your content and the updates on 2A news. Question. What is a good optic for a shotgun? I have a VR80 from RIA that I want to run during 3Gun competition. Not sure what optic to get for the shotgun.
Could you do a review of the sig romeo4t? Its like an aimpoint t2 clone
Just got one for my PTR 91. Haven't shot it though.
Nice can't wait for the review
Any word on a full review and performance comparison?
Did you check to see if the Aimpoint mount would fit on the Sig?
Luv my romeo 7 on my franken ar15. Got it when I bought my first AR. Upgraded most of it except the romeo. I see no need for better since I am not an operator. Just an old fat & broken granpa.
Sweet video as always brother 😎😎
Thanks brother
Will a Juliet 3x magnifier fit with it? I wanted the 4x magnifier but it’s about as long as the romeo7
Third time re-subscriber. May want to look into how many subs you've lost from youtube and make another video on it
Big difference is how water proof they are. The comp m4 is good to 25-50 meters while the sig is only waterproof down to 1. I guess that matters to some people, and why the aimpoint costs so much.
I have a sig romeo 4c and it is the best optic ive owned
Will the Romeo work on mounts for the Aimpoint like a scalar works???🤯🔫👍🏽
I’m sold on the 6 year battery life
Well we wouldn't want to break it taking the lens cover off would we.
The Sig looks like the Holosun HS401R I have, except mine is black. Hmm...
The SIG Romeo7 no longer comes with a QD mount with the lever. It's now just a small knob.
Excellent video. Thank you.
I have one Aimpoint and several different Sig optics. that I tend to like better because for the price you get better battery life on some models, more redical options and choices. Other the the Aimpoint's basic red dot. Sig optics are used by FBI and now military.
Can you get a Cross Armory Glock trigger?
Have you seen the video where the guy freezes the 7 and throws it from a second story onto pavement while frozen and turns it on without any issues. Like nothing happened. That was enough proof for me that the 7 is pretty freakin tough. Like to see if aimpoint would survive that
It wasn’t pavement, he dropped it on a wood deck
Great info, thank you. 😎👍
We had a ton of problems with the aim point in the army
The only good optic for the m4 in the army is the acog they are actually durable
I'm so getting one from sig for my m1a standard.
WHAT KILLFLASH DID YOU USE ON THE SIG?
Clones are almost always like the originals, except for the quality, dependability and customer service.
Looks like a lawsuit in the making between giants...😉🙃😄
I purchased an aim point pro and i was disappointed. It would not light up it was super dim even after trying two new batteries. When it comes to aim point I’ll keep but the more expensive version
No spaces for the mount. So your stuck with the absolute co witness height? I want one but I need a lower third at least..
The Sig is compatible with the Aimpoint mounts
Why use this over the 5? What is the difference? I mean this is bigger but why buy a bigger one?
The way I see it is the aim point is slightly better for being 3x the price and Ik I’m not gonna be able to break the sig with my use, I’d change my battery’s every year I don’t think I’d ever buy the comp m4 I’d rather have 3 Romeo 7’s for more guns then getting the comp m4
Get u a ronin from northtac 🔥
Why pay more for a 7 when the 5 exist? Just for the qd, flash kill, and flip ups? I like 5s they can be found for 100 and are the best budget optic because they are the cheapest that are actually good used to be the trs25 but the romeo 5 is light years better. I feel like once you get to 200 why not save up a bit more and get a pro or mro🤷♂️
If you want an optic on all your guns ASAP I recommend the romeo 5 and then once everything has a dot you can upgrade to higher end over time and push older red dots to
other guns or sell them. I guess I am just black and white lol hella cheap or all the way I don’t see many benefits for inbetween
Agree on most points. I guess the main reason for the 7 is the size, its 10mm bigger, which some may like. It’s a full size rds
AA battery vs 2032. That can be a big deal, even though they both claim 50K hours of battery life. Batteries will crap out on you, those estimates are always laboratory conditions. Add Murphy factor and it will crap out when you need it. I already have need to carry AAs, one less thing to keep track of.
@@tenchraven true and valid point however I will
Take the inconvenience of the battery type over the weight and price. You are going to or should stock up on any batteries you need for optics. I do think in some rare case where some shtf for years and your optic died you’d find as aa but you should already have batteries. And I think if my optics ran on common batteries I would actually run out of them more because I’d be using them for remote controls and stuff. With those 2032s I have enough for years and they are small and lightweight you can put them in anywhere. doesn’t seem like any real benefit that’s why the t2 is of the most Gucci optic and most seen vs the comp m5 or the like. The weight savings is worth more than the battery difference.if it was more durable though that would interest me someone should do a destruction test romeo 5 vs Romeo 7 vs t2 vs comp5
Yea I kinda agree. I’m not sold the bigger read dot provides any advantage tbh. Light is good
@@noHandle1776 me either especially if your shooting both eyes open like we all should be
Do comp m4 mounts work with the Romeo 7?
GREAT JOB!
Do you have the promo code for the sig I wanna buy
