Reviews & Ratings for Sig Sauer Romeo5XDR GEN II 5x24mm Combo Kit — 24 reviews — Page 1

So the optic’s screws used to clamp it to my rifles 1914 rail protrude out the left side—as does my guns G3/MP5 style charging handle. So I can not operate the bolt without tearing up my knuckles, and the safety notch/hold open is totally inaccessible.

Both optics construction was very sturdy and well machined— didn’t feel like anything short of driving a nail through the glass would cause more than wear off the finish.

Trying to look through the magnifier is very difficult, because of the small size of the optic there’s very little wiggle room when it comes to getting proper eye relief to peer through both optics. I’m not far off having to cram my eye straight into it like a microscope to get a sight picture—and it’s on the final rail block, as close as I could get it to my face.

The focus on the magnifier was also…slow to pull—not gritty—but you really can’t rack-focus with any kind of alacrity, and it moves so slowly It feels like it not even changing the focal length, it feels like your dialing MOA clicks instead of a control you might need to adjust more dynamically.

Also a small thing but: the red dot is dished in such a way that when you move the magnifier into position, they nest into each other. It’s a really pleasing design choice and some great attention to detail—if they’re “spooning” each other they’re all lined up and in co-witness. But you have to skip a modesty block on your rail or else you can’t put the lens covers on. I know they’re bikini covers, but l...

Very good dot and magnifier for the price dot get as bright as the sun to very dim making it well suited for all lighting conditions as well as a shake awake feature that works very well. The magnifier is a nice feature to extend the length of your shots glass is very clear and the mount being modular is another bonus being a lefty shooter this magnifier works for me.

This combo is incredible. The red dot is perfect. Linked up with the magnifier changes everything. Wish I couls have found this sooner.

I recently purchased and installed this Romeo and Juliet combo. The red dot is nice but if the brightness is turned up you can see the reflection of the LED all over the glass. The Juliet magnifier is crystal clear... IF you get your face right up to it. The eye relief is very poor in my opinion. Installing the magnifier in the rear most position and collapsing the stock to half length was the only way to see through the entire site glass.

I finally got some range time to sight in my new Sig Sauer rifle red dot and magnifier. WOW, its awesome.

It took less than ten minutes to mount them where I wanted to.

Then it only took 4 shots to be on the target at 25 yards and 3 more to bulls eye it. Then we went to the 50 yard and shot 5 more, all in the bulls eye. I'm super impressed and I love the magnifier. I use glasses to see past my computer screen and now this really helps with a distance of any length.

Sorry it took so long for the review, but early season farm chores got in the way.

Vince! You have to read the instructions, bro! This delicious combo with medium drink is at least 4 stars. At least. Everything lines up. Everything is solid. Price point, solid. Down to earth. Has all the features needed and wanted.

The Juliet that came with this combo is really nice. it has nice, clear glass when outside and set flush to both the Romeo XDR that came with it and the Romeo 5 Red Dot that I already owned. The eye relief is fairly small but not terrible by any means. I mounted it as far back as I could and set my stock to the middle position and haven’t had any issues! Shipped in the same box and came fairly quickly.

My fav part is the red dot uses aaa batteries. Make sure to use the correct height for the Juliet.

The Romeo 5XDR GEN II is the newer body style with the AAA battery (unlike the one on the webpage). It looks a lot like the Vortex Sparc AR, which I really like. The 5x magnifier is clear and compact in size, but does have a small eye box. Both pieces together weigh 15.9 oz. and have the hex bolt mount which can be installed and removed with the included steel wrench/sight adjustment multi-tool. So far, I'm really happy with this combo.

I attached this combo kit to my DPMS Oracle, fit was no problem. Glad I went with the 5x magnifier. Great product and price, thanks Optics Planet.
