The Romeo 4XT Pro is probably the best red dot on the market

The new Romeo 4 XT Pro is SIG's top-tier red dot. Nothing else in this form factor has the same combination of rugged design, clarity under night vision, and performance with a magnifier. But it looks kind of silly on a Scalarworks riser, so I give it a 0/10.
Right after this video was posted, SIG announced the Romeo 4T Pro, which has the improved glass coatings, and the NV button of the 4XT, but uses a normal CR2032 battery.
Support this channel on SubscribeStar so I can buy optics for MSRP as soon as they are released and then sell them for about 40 percent of that after I review them:

Amazon affiliate links to things in this video:
amzn.to/41381Xr - You can buy the Romeo 4XT Pro on Amazon, but I bet it's cheaper if you shop around.
amzn.to/3LxUEcg - You can also roll the dice on an original Romeo 4T but the odds of getting a "good" one aren't very high

Just in case no one is aware, Sig is releasing a 4T pro which uses the 2032 battery. It’s literally this optic with 2032, as far as I can find online for something that hasn’t been released yet. The model number is SOR44101.

Finally, I've been waiting for you do do a review on this specific dot. I haven't been overly interested in the sig dots, but having a BDC and a NV mode make this an intriguing option.

@gcproductions3669 Год назад

Glad to see the 4t series getting the recognition it deserves. I have the standard Rome4t in FDE, purchased recently from Sig for $350. Don't have much need for better NV capability so this model was fine for me. It is pure excellence - and phenomenal value at that price. Mine doesn't have a blue tint at all, glass looks great. I've been able to make hits out to 350 - 400 yards with no magnification using the multi dot holdovers. The versatility of the reticles combined with the overall ruggedness, look, and functionality make this red dot stand alone against all other current competitors. Love it!

@buff34x Год назад

Personally I think the inclusion of an ARD and sacrificial lenses are a better inclusion than another riser. Most shooters going any higher than a lower 1/3rd typically have a specific build and feature set in mind for a mount that tall. Stacking spacers also tends to be heavier and less sturdy the taller they go compared to a dedicated tall mount. It may sound silly but the inclusion of simple things like the ARD and such are part of why I bought multiple 4Ts when they first came out because it had everything I needed in them for non-night vision rifles. If someone can afford nvgs they can afford unity and etc.

What's interesting is that Sig just introduced the Romeo 4T Pro, which is in every way identical to the 4XT Pro but uses a CR2032 battery instead of a AAA battery. As for the 4 XT Pro, when it comes to batteries, the quick fix for the AAA alkaline battery would be to use AAA Lithium batteries instead. Overall, great video as it covers many key points as it gives a very even-keeled review of the optic.

Been running aimpoint for years because of the longer battery life, but often times I miss the eotech reticle. When I saw this come out I replaced my t2 and have been running in with an aimpoint 6x mag, both on Unity mounts. Great multipurpose dot for my 14.5”. Performance under nods was comparable to the t2, tbh I was a little worried about how it would do based on the regular R4T but this is for sure my fav red dot currently. Eotech reticle with aimpoint battery life and great under nods. Only thing I miss is the brightness setting adjustment knob on the t2, not a big fan of the buttons on top for the Romeo (mainly for us snowbirds with gloves on 1/2 of the year) but i can manage.

@OperationalGoon 5 месяцев назад

I've watched this video a few times. Ended up buying the Romeo 4T Pro (CR2032). I have a few EOTech's and a T2/Unity combo, everything else is LPVO. Running the 4T Pro on an MCX Spear LT 11.5", absolutely LOVE IT! I can't get over how crisp the donut of death in this red dot is compared to an EOTech. I have an astigmatism but damn, SIGs got some magic! I run my T2 with the OEM blacked out front closed, two eyes open. I set the Romeo up the same way with the blacked out front over and actually prefer the donut over the dot. I may like the Romeo more than my T2. Might buy a Romeo 8T too! Love your videos! 🖤
