Comparison: Sig Sauer Romeo 5 and Romeo-MSR

Product pages: sigsauer.com/products/electro-optics/red-dot-sights/romeo5/
www.sigsauer.com/products/rom...
Prices have changed since my video - currently best MSR price as of 11/3/19 is $119 at Palmetto State, and Romeo 5 is on sale on Primary Arms for $99
At these priceses, Romeo 5 makes a little more sense to purchase, unless you need a sealed sight such as MSR. Though $20 is not much of a difference.

    Yeah, once you pass about 15K hours, just swap the batteries every New Year's Eve and quit worrying about it. So what if you end up throwing away a battery that still has a bunch of hours left in it? They're a dollar, maybe a dollar and a half apiece!

Came with the riser for my magnifier. For 180 bucks, I love it. The Romeo 5 seems to hold zero better than my friend's MSR as well. Parallax seems a little better too, as it's a bit shorter.

Personally I wish the dial was a litter easier to rotate but I understand why its made like that. Last thing you want is to bump the dial and change your brightness of worse, cut it off.

    Obviously prices are subject to change, but the msr is currently priced at $100 still, and the 5 is now $25-40 more depending on the source. Makes you think more if the motion awake and common sized battery are worth the extra money.

    Quite possibly true. Though for me 20K hours is just as good as 50K since I change batteries every year anyway. For use in home defense motion awake - if reliable, is useful, but just keeping the sight on might be less complex. And more complex things break easier :)

    Using an uncommon lithium cell is why I didn't buy a Sig Romeo MSR. It's about $85-90 currently, versus $110-130 for the Romeo5. The CR2032 batteries are very common, very cheap, and used all over the place. The most reliable spot to find them is in basically every desktop computer and most key-fobs, many watches, and plenty of other remote controls and pocket-size devices. I'm not worried about shelf life either, as that's advertised as about a decade for typical cells (so in reality, probably 15+ years).

    I got the MSR from Cabelas for $99 (it was an exclusive at the time) and Romeo 5 for $129 I think either PSA or Primary Arms (cant remember). Right now I see MSR at $149 at Cabelas - and I would not do that. OP has it for $139. In this situation I would buy Romeo 5 for $99 from PA (current sale).
