Romeo 5

[alanwk]

I just put a Romeo 5 red dot on my ar15. The red dot seems really small. Can the size of the dot be increased? also when looking through the wrong end there are like 3 red dots. Other than that all seems good. Any comments are welcome. Thank you

Don't look through the wrong end, that might be looking into the laser, bad juju. The dot will seem bigger if you increase the brightness. I have several Romero 5s, and they work very well indeed.

I bought one for a friends build... I liked it so much I bought one for me.

Double-edged sword... the bigger the dot, the more it obscures the target.

R5 on the right. Makes the Bushnell TRS-25 (AR on L) seem pretty outdated... and far more cumbersome to use.

I just changed out my scope and mount to a Romeo 4. This has the 65 MOA circle with 2 MOA dot. It is super fast to pick up. It also dropped the weight from 9 lbs. to 7 lbs. 3 oz.

I have the newest Romeo 5 with the aaa battery that came on my used AR. It's good enough I'm not compelled to change it. My son loves it...

I have had great success with every Romeo series sight I've bought. I'm starting to believe... and maybe ready to step up to a Tango 6.

My son’s duty M4 wears a Romeo 5. My M4gery also. No complaints.

The Romeo 5 has a 2 MOA dot. Whether that is too small is a subjective thing. You can make the dot seem bigger by turning up the brightness causing the dot to bloom, but then, you are no longer looking at a dot. If you want a larger, cleaner dot, you're going to have to go with something that has a larger dot. Pick what's better for you.

On rifles that have a red dot as the primary sight, I use a 2 MOA dot. On handguns and rifles with the dot as an up close or secondary sight, I run a 4 MOA dot.

I have the Romeo 5 and it’s good. I tried 2 others with 4moa dots and too large at say 40-50yards it covered a steel plate.

I went and shot this morning with the romeo 4 red dot for the first time and it didn't go too well. My astigmatism got the better of me and I couldn't keep that dot in focus. So long story short, This may have to go down the road. I can put my heavy scope and mount back on and just deal with the extra weight. Only other option at this point would be one of those prism sights.
