( 5 out of 5) Sig Sauer Romeo 5 is just a literal no brainer of a good deal!!...

The Sig Sauer Romeo 5 was recommended by a good friend that is both an NRA Instructor / avid gun & rifle enthusiast of many decades, after I commented that I was looking for a quality red dot for my Ruger 556 that would not break the bank. Mind you, I was in no real rush as I already had my Ruger 556 for 10 months and thought the iron sights worked just fine. Yet, after seeing a few YouTube reviews on the Romeo 5 along with reading quite a few that were all very favorable I came across the Black Friday sale of it being just $109 including shipping and I couldn't pass it up and pulled the trigger.

Apart from the affordable price point, the minute you look and unbox the Sig Sauer Romeo 5, you can tell it's a good quality product worthy of the Sig Sauer brand name. What I really appreciate is it is a relatively light weight optic coming in at 5 oz. The fact that with the MOTAC feature the red dot turns on and off automatically is a major plus. I've already taken it to the range two times, once to zero it in properly with co witness to the iron sights and the second to get used to it much more without flipping up the rear iron sight. My groups at 25 yards were tight enough and comparable to when I use iron sights. Please note that I did consider the Holosun HS403G as they are both very similar products and it was like splitting hairs. To me they are probably both built in the same factory in China, that's how similar they look and review.

In the end, the Romeo 5 looked slightly better overall and had a longer warranty of 5 years vs 3 as Sig Sauers brand name is attached to this optic division effort of theirs. Not to mention again that the price point offered by Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore was just spot on in offering a quality red dot to the owner of an affordable Ruger 556.
