Hey All,
So I've noticed a trend that as time goes on there seems to be an emerging middle tier of RDS.
I would put Aimpoint and Trijicon in the top tiers. Some may like EOTech's, but I would no longer consider them (your opinion may differ).
I was thinking about it the other day and as these Sig Romeo Line continues to expand to include T1/T2-esque RDS (https://www.opticsplanet.com/sig-sau...dj-aaa-m1.html) and RMR-esque RDS (https://www.opticsplanet.com/sig-sau...dot-sight.html) - what's been the experience of this forum?
I wouldn't put them in the same ballpark as Aimpoint (especially with Sig's quality control issues with the 320, MPX, and other stuff). But, I have to think an RDS is not as tough a nut to crack as it used to be.
What's the forums thoughts?
Personally, I have an H2 on an AR. If I wanted to outfit another AR with an RDS at some point - is it worth it?
I'm not in the market, but I am interested to see the improvements being made by Sig and Holosun (and I'm sure another vendor) making Micro Ruggedized Optics more affordable. Has anyone used these?
I'm really intrigued to see if an RDS ends up on the new service pistol widespread at some point and what brand that RDS is going to be. That kind of testing/scrutiny if these can stand up to it - I think the market may be getting really competitive. If I had to guess we'd see the new offering from Aimpoint, Trijicon's RMR, and something from Sig at the minimum.
God Bless,
Brandon
ETA: The M17 is cut to accept an RDS. It has to be coming at some point and I'd think soon.
