Matt Janke's Review of SIG SAUER Sierra3BDX 2.5-8x32mm Rifle Scope 30mm Tube and Romeo1PRO 1x30 Reflex Sight Combo w/Alpha2 Scope Mounts
I was looking for a Scope/Canted Red Dot option for a while, and didn’t like how you have to mount many of the red dots either forward or rear of the scope. So when I saw this option from Sig, I was sold.
This is an awesome combination to have for an AR, it’s got plenty of range with the Sierra scope, 8x is about perfect for the 5.56 cartridge in my opinion. It’s well built and optic clarity is very good. Having a good optic like the Sig Romeo 1 Pro was important for me for those close range shots, so this was exactly what I was looking for.
The fact that this is a Sig product is just icing on the cake for me. I own many of their products, including optics, and they have all performed exceptionally well. Mounted this on my Rock River LAR-15, and it’s a tac driver now. Love the Bluetooth integration with the BDX App. You can easily enter ballistic information of the round your using, and it will talk to the scope and adjust the bullet drops. It also has a level indicator that helps with mounting and staying level while taking precision shots. Overall, it’s a super nice setup, and very easy to use, for me anyways.
Not sure what the logic is in the disparaging comments about it not coming with a scope cover. Seriously? Just stop being cheap and go buy some scope caps. With the canted red dot like this, a regular scope cover likely won’t fit over it anyways. This isn’t really a hunting setup, so that wasn’t a concern for me in the least. If you want to waste your money, go buy an even more expensive scope that comes with a cover. Alternatively, get this, and just buy a scope cover or caps. Then buy a new gun with the money you save on this kit. Optics Planet by far had the best price on this kit, as it was double what I paid at some retailers.
Also, the person complaining about it being for right handlers only, yeah, it is, but if you look at the picture is pretty clearly a right side optic mount for this kit. The vast majority of canted red dot mounts are right side mounted, which stinks for lefties, but ripping on Sig for that is kinda unfair.
Side note, I had an issue with the threads stripping on the mount plate for the red dot. I contacted Sig, and they stood behind it, as they have with every purchase I’ve ever made from them. Their customer service is top notch, so even if you have an issue, they are great to work with, and they stand behind their products. People don’t really talk about it, as Sig is a bit newer to the optics game, but their unlimited warranty is actually on par with Vortex if you ask me.
If you’re looking for a solid scope and red dot combo that functions as well as it looks, this is a great kit.
