This optic is a heavy duty, robust optic with very clear high quality glass. While it's larger and heavier than many alternative red dots, you get a lot in return for the added weight. The CR123 battery gives you excellent battery life. The large window provides an unparalleled field of view. The reticle is bright, and you can easily use this with both eyes open in most any lighting condition. You have multiple options of reticles from which to choose. If you are looking for rugged and hard use, this is a good choice. If you are trying to minimize weight, you probably want to look elsewhere.
Pros:
- Clarity
- rugged
- field of view
- reticle
Would recommend: Yes

I’m very impressed with this optic. First of all Optics Planet had this as an open box and it was priced great because of it. As far as open box…..it looks brand new. I thought this sight would be much larger than it actually is. Compared to a vortex uh1 it’s more narrow and feels lighter. 4 reticle to choose from and they are all crisp. Comes with lens caps and a kill flash and really clear glass. I was very impressed so I picked up one in black as well.

What's not to like built like a tank and very clear window. I like this more than my Eotech mainly because I can switch to different reticules.

I am extremely happy and thankful opticsplanet was having the sale they did. I've been meaning to get this red dot on my Spear LT pistol since I saw GarandThumb have it on his build for a couple years now. When I saw the sale and it was $300 less than what it normally was I immediately bought it. It has been a perfect sight for close to far-ish range, due to the dot in the center followed by the mill dots below the center main dot. Thank you optics planet for these sales because as we all know the "gun-game" is expensive and accessories like this red dot, especially by sig, are usually super expensive. I will be buying from you all again and again. Thank you guys!
Pros:
- Only pros absolutely no cons. This sight looks perfect and is heavy duty and waterproof.
Best Used for:
- Combat and nothing else....throw it at your enemies and it will still do the job
Would recommend: Yes

The flip up front cover does come off with a bit of force.
I thought it would break, but it held up.
Put a couple pieces of black electrical tape on the body under the flip up and gently, with constant pressure, pry up.
It on there extremely well, as you don’t want this piece just falling off.
If you are going to use the supplied honeycomb flash killer, note that there are grooves on it.
Place these on the top edge on the window first and then press the lower corners in place.
Good luck.
Cons:
- Difficult to change out flash killer
Best Used for:
- Shooting aminals like prarie dags and hogs
Would recommend: Yes

Optics Planet must have got a bad batch because the 1st Romeo8T the red dot was extremely blurry and unusable. Read through the entire manual to make sure I wasn't missing anything but besides inserting the battery and flipping up the caps there's nothing else needed to be done to utilize the red dot. Sent it in for an exchange but the 2nd Romeo8T had the same issue, albeit maybe a little less blurry. I had to call Sig to warranty the item and now I'm waiting for that. Not necessarily Optics Planet fault but for such an expensive red dot, especially one being used by the military this was extremely disappointing. I'm hoping Sig exchanges it for a new one instead of fixing it making it refurbished.

This thing built like a tank having had in the past I was skeptical this lives up to the hype. Extremely irritable as a crisp reticle have multiple reticle options make this a no brainer. it holds zero very well.

Crisp reticle abs it’s built like a tank. Multiple reticle options and well worth the money considering other options out on the market.

The good: Clear glass, extremely robust build, long battery life using CR123.
The bad: It's pretty heavy. Also, I have astigmatism and the reticle appears a bit blurry/smeared to me. That's my eyes and not the optic BUT there are other much cheaper optics where the reticle is far more crisp and clear to my eye.
If you want a red dot optic with great quality glass that is extremely rugged - this is it.
Pros:
- long battery life
- rugged
- clear optics
Would recommend: Yes
