ROMEO7 1x30 mm

This review will be thrown in with the many of thousands of positive reviews for this optic.Glass: greatDot: goodBuild: very goodWeight: heavyLooks: greatThere is a lot of competition in the budget red dot arena but this one will grow with novice shooters and likely act as a primary or back up for more advanced shooters. I’m not alone when I say this is a great, if not the best, budget option as it’s very well constructed and competes with dots way above its price point.For the new shooter or those new to this dot, the first two settings are not visible to the naked eye, night vision capability is required to see a dot at those settings.

I have this on an AR-15. Seems to be holding its zero. The motion activation works great. The optic looks great, vaguely retro. Easy to install; I like the QD. Overall, great value.The hardest part is how tricky it is to get the caps off to adjust the zero. But... it keeps them from getting bumped.

I've put this on 16" barrel 5.56x45mm NATO, .300 Blackout, and .350 Legend AR-15s. The 30mm objective combined with unlimited eye relief is a welcome change admitting much more light and giving a wider view compared to sights with a 20-22mm objective such as the Romeo5 and Romeo7S. In spite of the battery compartment, it has very little clutter on the sides or top to obscure situational awareness view around it. The next closest in the 1X red dots I've used is the 25mm objective on a Primary Arms MD-25 ACSS. Its design is nearly a clone of the Aimpoint Comp M4. Housing is very durable and definitely not fragile.Red dot is crisp and its brightness adjustment range spans all the levels of lighting range I've encountered, indoors and out. Set to an appropriate level for the ambient lighting, I've never had to hunt for the dot. Parallax is nil. Dot stays on target. I don't have NODS, and cannot speak to its night vision settings. Automatically turns itself off if left idle for a couple minutes and comes back to life immediately when picked up, without any delay. Comes with honeycomb front filter to prevent objective reflection back toward target, and helps deal with glare from bright light sources in front of sight. Presence does not noticeably reduce light coming through. Quick release works well and is easily adjusted for proper tension. I've not lost zero when properly installing and reinstalling it in the same location on the rifle rail.Size and Rail Real Estate:This is a full-size sight, with the corresponding weight of one, especially with its battery and its beefy, very durable housing. Its length will consume a sizeable part of the upper receiver rail. If combined with a magnifier, depending on magnifier length, the magnifier may interfere with a BUIS, even if the Romeo7 is put as far forward on the receiver rail as possible (it should not extend out onto the barrel shroud rail, if there is one over the barrel). I've combined it with a full size Juliet 3 (not the Micro), and it fits, but the BUIS cannot be deployed unless the Juliet is flipped to the side out of the way. The rail will be crowded. Those for whom weight is the highest priority should look at smaller, more compact and micro optics. Its 30mm objective with its benefits and optical train are a tradeoff with size and weight (e.g. Romeo4 or Romeo5).

What should you know? Simple this is a good piece of gear. Many years ago I started out with an M 16 A1 times have changed dramatically. My first real red dot was a Aimpoint. It never failed me when I was bouncing around on Amazon I came across the Romeo seven. Very similar to an aim point this one for the cost was certainly worth it. You don’t need toWhat did I like well, the simplicity of mounting it was easy. It came with scope caps with the kill flash for the front objective rugged as hell and it’s reasonably priced. If you want a red dot that is clean and uncluttered, this is the one for you? I’m very happy with my purchase and maybe buy a second one for another rifle.Pos: a one stop red dot scope for rifles. Appears to be very rugged, ease of installation on your rails and lastly, it’s not ridiculously over-the-top expensive!

This is basically an Aimpoint clone. It's a darn good one, though. If you are wanting a full-sized but simple red dot optic, this is a great option. The 30mm view port is awesome along with the threaded flash kill. I can understand buying an actual Aimpoint if you are some sort of active security or law enforcement agent who uses their rifle for duty. For everyone else, this optic is more than enough.

Very good dot quality, build quality, and lens diameter. Only downside is its weight.

It works perfect for me. Large windows to look through. Sighted in easily. Big knob to adjust brightness and turn off. AA battery. Quick disconnect. Cowitnesses with the BUIS. 2000 rounds and held zero. Will probably buy another for the next upper I get.Waiting on a Juliet 3x to be delivered. Hoping it pairs up well.

I originally bought the 7s and was very pleased with the rugged build and the clarity of the glass and red dot. My only complaint is the lens caps seem a bit flimsy but still very functional. I decided to upgrade to the 7 because of the great reviews and I'm glad I did!! The 7 is very rugged, has some heft, incredibly clear glass and the red dot is very quick to pick up. Mounted it to a M&P 15 and took it to the range. Used a boresight to get on paper then had it zeroed in 3 rounds. Ran about 300 whitebox 55gr removed it, thanks to the included quick detach mount, put it back on and was still zeroed perfectly. Great sight for duty use or just your average shooter like me. Another awesome Sig Sauer product. Buy it!!
