We are receiving reports about OpticsPlanet/Dvor's email or chat systems not responding to users but their phone lines still are. Because of Covid and them not charging refund fees, we are keeping OP around for now but explicitly stating that you may not receive your order in a timely fashion. Expect it to take months and possibly a random cancellation of your order. Their phone number is 1-800-504-5897 if you are trying to get a refund. Please send the mod team any reports of OP/DVOR not responding to any attempts to cancel an order that has taken more than two weeks to ship.

Heads up, OpticsPlanet/Dvor has been known to be misleading with their in-stock notices. Please check the listing carefully to see if the item in question is actually in stock or if it is backordered. We have received reports of supposedly "in-stock" items actually taking a couple months to ship. Sometimes even when it says it is in stock, it may have just recently gone OOS and it will then be backordered and you will not be updated to the true status of the product.

If you are ordering from OpticsPlanet/Dvor, be aware that it may take a few months to get to you.

Best name. Way better than “CopeM4”

u/Makky-Kat 4d ago

Did Sig un-discontinue these by popular demand or did someone just find some new old stock ones? I kinda regret not buying one on sale for <$150?

31

u/Girth-Brooks_ 4d ago

Seems they un-discontinued them. Was wondering the same and saw they’re available on sigs website

6

u/borneoknives 3d ago

I thought these were $99 all the time last year

8

u/pantlesspuma 3d ago

That was a couple of years ago. I snagged two from optics planet for the 99 price tag.

The smaller 7s has been at 99 bucks recently though

7

u/Dave_A_Computer 3d ago

That was the smaller 7S.

So be fair the replacement Romeo7S is a direct downgrade

48

u/Senior-Sentence7064 4d ago

Put one on my brother's AR for Christmas one year. He loves it. Does what a red dot does and is fat as hell. I'm an EOTech and Aimpoint guy, though.

If you want a very simple aimpoint-kinda-thingy that takes cheap batteries, this is for you.

12

u/Quake_Guy 3d ago

Pretty solid for even $200 typical price...

u/ClickHereForBacon 3d ago

Poor Man's M4s

9

u/Slash003 3d ago

Just got this from eurooptic for 160+s+t (about 190) very nice optic imo, comes with lens caps, honey comb, two mounts, almost perfect zero out of the box, one adjustment and on target.

Has shake awake, takes regular ass AA batteries, 2 moa dot, you need a nice budget optic get it

7

u/Ice_Cold_Camper 3d ago

I am about to hit a 3 month wait for an sig optic from here, just throwing it out. Don’t buy it if you’re expecting it within the next few weeks.

6

u/momsaidbesafe 3d ago

Already got tracking from last night order

2

u/Ice_Cold_Camper 3d ago

That’s awesome and very not optics plant like!!!

3

u/IzagUrdum 2d ago

I bought one around 3 months ago too and it was cancelled without any notification. they still send me emails asking how my experience was

2

u/Ice_Cold_Camper 2d ago

That’s unfortunate. I’ve never had this experience with them, but it’s definitely a waiting game in my experience.

15

u/daerana 4d ago

Love this thing

4

u/momsaidbesafe 4d ago

So I should get one?

17

u/Iate22Pears 4d ago

I have one and also the 7s. Really like both. Bought them for budget builds and i could very much seeing myself buying more for my other builds.

6

u/kissmygame17 3d ago

Could be obvious but what's benefit to the longer tube then day a Romeo 5

12

u/HauntedHotsauce 3d ago

Presumably, less Emitter glare at high brightness. Even Aimpoint has had this issue apparently.

5

u/proquo 3d ago

More durable and at least with the Aimpoint the recessed front lens allowed them to use a less heavy notch filter to preserve dot brightness and enhance NVG performance.

3

u/Financial_Friend_123 3d ago

I think the biggest benefit is the 30mm aperture vs the Romeo5 having 20mm. I don't think a longer tube yields any major upside.

1

u/Cobra__Commander 3d ago

This thing has a pretty big sunshade threaded onto the front.

6

u/TheGrandWizard1999 3d ago

I’ve had this optic for years on one of my ARs and it’s been great to me highly recommend!

5

u/ztactical_ 3d ago

Honestly better than comp m4s for most.

u/Reach-around69 3d ago

I love mine

2

u/Loud_Dumps 3d ago

Euro optic has them for around $160 as well

2

u/Admirable-Dog-53 3d ago

Anecdote: I ordered from OP two weeks ago and the part of the order shipped same day, and the remainder shipped the next day. I was shocked

2

u/Takemepoqhs 3d ago

Thanks op. This actually made me find it elsewhere (needed something else and so the combined order was cheaper elsewhere), appreciate it.

2

u/mpags51 2d ago

Price on Optics Planet back up to $200. If you missed it, Eurooptic has them in stock for $160 right now and ships free

u/YaBoyTanaka 2d ago edited 2d ago

How are you getting free shipping? its having me pay $17 for shipping on top of tax, comes out to $200 for me

1

u/mpags51 2d ago

My fault - I bought 2 other things so cart was over $250, so shipped free. My bad

3

u/redsox985 I commented! 4d ago

Aren't these regularly like $100 (+sht) from PSA?

29

u/wowthatsucked 4d ago

That’s the 7S that takes AAA

3

u/redsox985 I commented! 4d ago

Ah, gotcha! Only differences are battery and body size?

9

u/Chair_Man_Ma0 3d ago

The psa one is obj len is 22mm or similar so smaller sight picture and slightly lighter but honestly if I could I do it again I go with this one.

5

u/AdolfVonHopsCock 3d ago

I have both and this is the one to get. The slight difference in sight picture makes a huge difference for me. I've also dropped it (a lot) and it's held up great, have yet to adjust it.

11

u/kubius 4d ago

Those are the 7s compact model with 22mm lens diameter. This is a 30mm lens

6

u/scootymcpuff 3d ago

Windows size, yeah. The 7 is 30mm and the 7s is 22mm.

4

u/muffinman1604 I commented! 3d ago

I thought I also saw the 7s has more emitter glare in a random reddit comment when I researching the 7 vs 7s.

1

u/Alternative-Aside650 3d ago

Yup, every few months or so they can be had for $99.99... Actually got 2 of these and the 7S for that price just this year.

1

u/redsox985 I commented! 3d ago

Ok, I'm not losing it completely. Just not as readily available as that price as the 7S.

1

u/Whey2muchBrotein 3d ago

Considering red dots for a 10/22 build and like the idea of a slightly bigger tube than micro dots/T2-size. I am considering the PA SLx MD-25 and this one. Anyone have experience with these or any others I should be looking at?

2

u/governman 1d ago

are you me

Looking at this just because I bet it won’t look as silly on the 10/22

2

u/Whey2muchBrotein 1d ago

We think alike. I feel like a micro dot will look goofy on a more traditional looking rifle. I feel something like this would be reminiscent of Shughart's M14.

1

u/Psychological-Drive4 3d ago

The PA MD-25 has a version with the dots on it for ranges, and it magnifies well.

1

u/BeeMagicRockRoar 3d ago

It says lens cover included, is that a honeycomb shade or the double rubber ends like on the compM4s

5

u/FukinWaySheGoes 3d ago

They come with both the honeycomb killflash and lens caps for the front and back.

2

u/getinnawoods 3d ago

I bought one a while back and it didn’t have a honeycomb shade

1

u/Drainis 3d ago

thank you, but gross

1

u/ShortestStraw95 2d ago

I bought one a few years ago for like $130 on sale. It's on a rifle that I used for work for 2 years. In that time it banged around in a squad car pretty hard, mine has a small dent in it now. It has held zero the entire time. The only downside I found was that it does not get as bright in sunlight as the Aimpoint, but for the price it's 100% worth it.

1

u/WarlockEngineer 1d ago

Fucking opticsplanet raised the price

1

u/vanaman87 1d ago

And its backordered too
