I have one and had 2 extra so I offed them. I will be avoiding chicom s*** out of principle since the chicomflu has caused worldwide chaos. I did have a chicom red dot on my 22 AR which failed spectacularly during a match. It was replaced but.....These may be better. I just think chinese s*** is just that. Yeah you can save money but you always get what you pay for. I would never use anything chinese on a go to weapon. I understand what you are saying for me it goes beyond i'd rather source used quality s***. YMMV

There is a massive difference between NcStar chicom junk and Sig's red dots.

Sig has a massive reputation to protect, so they wouldn't put their name on anything that isn't up to their standards.

I have a friend who works for Sig. They tested the red dots for over a year before offering them to the public; they didn't jump into the optics game on a whim.

They are made by holosun I here. The one I had was a vortex. So all "name brand".

It's cool I get it. Just not for me. But maybe I should of kept them but I got what I had in them so win win

New update: well my eotech went TU so I needed another optic. Went looking around for an aimpoint micro. Ended up getting talked into a Romeo 4. “Assembled in USA”. Not sure what that means. Got the good one. Will report back has some good features

I have a couple Romeo 5's, no complaints other than made in China. They are durable and they work, but I will be doing my best to avoid made in China in the future. Have had no problems with the Romeo 5.

I put it on my scorpion evo and it has been fantastic. Thousands of rounds so far with zero issues.
That's exactly what I've done. I love mine.

Side note: The packaging on the romeo 5 was super slick and made me feel bad about throwing it out.

How does the Vortex CF II red dot compare to this?

This very video convinced me to buy 3 of these. I have one on a CAR15, one on an AK107F and the other was a gift to a buddy for his Palmetto CAR15 mid-length. They've been awesome and I'm really happy. When I ordered mine in Feb. of 2019, they were on sale for $115,...now they are $150.

I just put a Romeo 5 on my new PSA 18" upper. I've only shot 90 rounds through it so far, but I'm loving it.

There are a few models that are assembled in the USA, using better materials (as per .gov contract requirements).

He's just an idiot who is still butt-hurt from getting his ass handed to him in the other optics thread. Then he put me on "ignore" like a pussy. Feel free to quote me so the little snowflake can see this...

Oh, okay, I see. I have seen him get his feelings hurt/offended in other threads recently if someone doesn’t like what he likes. He is a very sensitive hypocrite, from what I have seen.

Why type of mounting base the the Romeo 5 have? The 3 Vortex Sparks that I have are getting long in the tooth tech wise, but I like that they use the T1 type mount.

I have 4 of these, 1 on a pcc, 1 on 300blk ar, 1 on a 11.5 556, and another on a 10.5 458socom, never had any issues. I have a 4h that runs solid, I did get a 6t but haven't tested it... very impressed with the sig optics overall.
