SIG SAUER announces the release of the Gen II Romeo5 Optic sight. If you aren’t on SIG’s e-mail list, you may have missed the release of the new Gen II version of their popular ROMEO5 optic sight. It has some new design features, both cosmetic and structural, and is very reasonably priced.
ROMEO5 GEN II Features:
At its core, the Gen II ROMEO5 builds on what made the original a success. The Gen II has an impressive 40,000-hour battery life in conjunction with SIG’s MOTAC Motion Activated sensor. Equally important, it runs on a single CR2032 Lithium battery that can easily be changed without having to dismount the optic. The GEN II has a 2 MOA dot that’s available in red or green and is a parallax-free design. It’s IPX7 Water and Fog proof, and has a ruggedized industrial design. Weight is only 5.5 ounces.
The new profile is sleeker than the original. Coupled with the new I-Beam mount, it gives the user better visibility around the optic. This allows for better situational awareness and lets you keep your eyes downrange on target or on threat. It has 12 brightness settings, including two night vision levels. In addition, the controls are top-mounted and easily accessible to right- or left-handed shooters.
The SIG SAUER Gen II Romeo5 Optic has an MSRP of only $149.99 for the red dot and $159.99 for the green dot. You can also buy the red dot version together with a JULIET3 Micro 3X Magnifier for $299.99.
