The Sig Sauer Romeo 5 is one of my favorite budget optics.

@gregggibson3109 21 күн бұрын

Very good review, Holosun seems to get high marks regardless of who trials them against competitors. Thanks!

@KA-id4wt Ай бұрын

In regard to the 403r, 100,000 hours is over 10 years. Mine has been on in my truck on setting 6 for 4 years.

Good comparison video. Keep in mind MOA (minute of angle) does not change at different distances. It is a measure of angle. What you meant to say is that the adjustment equals 1/2 or 1/4 inch at 100 and 50 yards respectively. These budget RD's just keep getting better and better.

I prefer the dials over clumsy push button feature. Have had Vortex Crossfires on 2 carbines and satisfied with them.

The Vortex is on a Midwest Industries riser mount, it is way more beefier with two massive bolts, rather than the other two with a single and smaller bolt

@I_Did_That_46 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for this comparison. I was split between the Sig and the Holosun, and I finally made a decision. Now I just need to decide if the multi-reticle on the 503r is worth the $50 premium over the 403r 😆

@3200ish 3 ай бұрын

@I_Did_That_46 thanks for watching! Glad I could help! I have the vortex AMG with their donut of death reticle and like it. But no experience with it on a smaller optic. If you get it let us know how you like it.

You forgot the Primary Arms Advanced 30mm RDS. Better than all 3. No shake awake, but it is the most durable with the best ergonomics, IMO, although the Sightmark Wolverine is pretty good too! (I have all 3 RDS you're reviewing.) Those 3 didn't last long (durability) compared to the other 2 I mentioned, for me!

The bolt is the recoil lug pull back on it as u tighten it up. I can take my 19$ Amazon dot on and off all day and it’ll hit on spot

@3200ish 4 ай бұрын

@jefferyboring4410 I think it depends on the size of the bolt. The typical t15 is not ideal and depends on your zero distance. It might be good at 50yards but then how does it do as you shoot out to greater distances. But also when mounting to the rail you need to push the optic forward toward the muzzle.

Sig Romeo 5 and 7s all day

@Kghost0311 4 ай бұрын

Which has a more crisp and visible dot?

@tyaj694 4 ай бұрын

@@Kghost0311the 5 in my opinion is much more crisp, the Romeo 7s is nice but in a darker setting, you can see a red ring around the glass, which is many people’s complaint on the red dot. But the upside to the 7s is the availability of finding the batteries for it and the 50,000 hr battery life. It will probably last longer since it’s motion activated also.

@Kghost0311 4 ай бұрын

@tyaj694 thanks I'm having a hard time deciding which one to go with. The battery, like you say, makes me want to use the 7s but I do want a decent daytime dot.

what mounts did you use?

@3200ish 4 ай бұрын

@deancarrier124 I’m using the Reptilia t2 1/3 height mount on the Holosun. And the Midwest industries t2 1/3 height on the vortex. I can confirm both have had a return to zero for me. Only downside to the Midwest industries is you have to slide it onto the rail (can’t drop it on) so that mean removing iron sights or anything else that might be in the way.

I question your MOA analogy!

@3200ish 5 ай бұрын

@RobertMcCandless-nr7cv I miss spoke in regards to MOA yes. (I realize that now) but the click value does change when the target is moved from 100yards to 50, or whatever your preferred zero distance might be.

The Holoson dot looks the best but it doesn't offer a automatic motion sensor. That's a automatic deal breaker

@paul2532 There’s a lot of good sites you can find them on sale at times. I wouldn’t recommend Amazon. I’ve heard/seen a decent amount of people get fakes out of there. Pretty much at this point though if you pay more than $125 you’re paying too much and not comparing sites.
