Sig Romeo MSR FDE $79.75

Not a bad deal on a 2 MOA . I want one for the Ruger PC9.

That's only about 1/2 the price I paid for the Vortex that I put on the PC9.

My question is whether or not is it counterfeit or the real thing. The Romeo 5's have turned out to be 50% counterfeit & the fake ones are really hard to spot unless you know what to look for. Caveat Emptor!

Now that's a good question coming from Amazon where anyone can sell anything. I haven't ordered yet.

Here is the actual seller http://www.superiorgunshop.com/categ...-lasers-lights

anybody knows about them, Superior Guns in Texas.

And the saga continues, Superior Outfitters has that exact Sig Romeo MSR FDE sight for $117.00 plus tax & shipping. I'll wager that this unit is genuine & the Amazon unit is a counterfeit item.

Amazon has played the bait & switch game with me & won, but it was not on a hi dollar sale, just rifle swivels & they are replaceable when they fail.

I am not trying to throw mud, just putting out information that will prevent one of us from buying a counterfeit item unknowingly. I hate getting burned.

I purchased one six months ago. It says SIG on it?

100% Authentic. Mine was delivered the other day. Retail box sealed with sig's hologram stickers. Registered the serial on Sig's warranty registration page. Good to go.

Here's a link to a photo of the one I received.

good deal.:thumbsup:

If you buy a SIG Romeo 5, check the battery connector on the body of the counterfeit unit as it is different from the authentic battery connector. This is a proven authenticator as well as the illuminator diode inside the unit.

Check out the AK files optics thread for more exacting info.

OK.

So ...images would be somewhat helpful here...ersatz vs the real deal....

That is the exact video that I learned about my Romeo 5's from. Aviator actually got the hyperlink posted here for the rest of you guys to examine your RD's & see if you got a genuine or a counterfeit model.

Thanks for posting that Aviator!
