Since I know it's come up in the past about the ROMEO8T, I figured I'd post up the photos I've been able to source of them in one post.

What's the preferred method of mounting the RMR?
https://reptiliacorp.com/product/rof-45-for-trijicon-rmr/ -vs- https://reptiliacorp.com/product/trijicon-rmr-rof-sar/ or even an option that offset mounts on the top picatinny rail under the LPVO? Like this: https://arisakadefense.com/offset-optic-mount-combo/ |

All depends, night vision or no night vision, if your considering night vision I will recommend top front ring not a 45, if not 45 offset on rail, I will take a look at the 45 offset from TRex arms, better position and all you have to do is rotate and you are there.

I'm working on a comprehensive list of military rifle weights.
Does anyone know the correct weight for a URG-I as the base rifle? Ie a FN M4A1 is 6.36lbs, HK 416A5 14.5" is 7.69lbs, a URG-I M4 is? |

ETA: Quick hit on my phone. I can get a ballpark weight for you tomorrow on a 10.5... Not sure you'll get an "exact" weight as there may be outliers from certain people but if you wanted a true mean you could get numbers from ~10 of us and average the weights. |

I’m seeing a lot of Romeo8Ts for optics on some of these platforms…
I know it’s all preference but has anyone moved over to these and can attest whether or not this would be a go over an EXPS-3 or T2? I’m on a personal debate on whether or not to pick one up or another one of the Eotech/AimPoint. |

I wanted to like the 8T and I had a hype up before getting to shoot it that kind of put me down a bit after I went through the magazine. First, it's fucking huge. Not just in size but in weight. You can definitely feel the weight difference on a light build even without a magnifier. Second, the reticle selection is kind of redundant to me (personally). I'm old school. I like to turn the optic on, have one reticle the I'm trained on throughout. Once I started switching the reticles I turned into the "meh" mentality. Third, I still think there's some significance between holographic vs red dot. If the 8T glass goes down, the reticle is done. I've tortured two EOTECHs in my life and completely demolished the glass and the reticle is still there.

Makes the Vortex Huey look like a mini house compared to a big house. Thanks for the report. I think I'll scratch it off my list. I don’t think I agree with the above assessment. The 8T is less than 2.5 oz heavier, and it’s not even any bigger. It’s like the RMR vs ACRO. It only LOOKS bigger because it’s box shaped. I own both. The reticle comment also puzzles me because you can just pick your reticle and leave it forever. You don't have to cycle through anything if you don't want to. Anything can fail, and the eotechs failures aren’t winning it any points over the 8t in my opinion. 1000 hr battery vs up to 100,000 alone on the same exact battery. I’ll take that over the supposed benefits of holo vs led. EDIT: Here you go on dimensions and weight: ROMEO8T EXPS3 L 90.9 mm 96.5 mm W 56.13 mm 58.4 mm H 64.5 mm 73.7 mm Weight 13.7 oz 11.2 oz |

Handling the 8T versus the EXPS-3 is a big difference, especially when you're build is weight and ergonomics specific. As for the reticle, it was funky switching through to find a proper reticle after using something singular for so long. I would love to see a true durability test between the two as I can't find a good one of the 8T. I've destroyed three EOTECHs in my career and customer support along with the durability is also a plus for the EOTECH for me. |

I understand where you're coming from, just helping to point out it's not actually physically any bigger. You are correct about weight though. Especially when an Aimpoint T2 is all of 3 oz without a mount. I can't speak for Eotech CS as I've never had to use it, but I did have to use Sig CS on a different dot and they were no questions asked, sent it back on their prepaid label and had a replacement in two weeks (that includes shipping time). So at least they seem to be comparable as far as my sample of one CS experience goes. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By india13c: I understand where you're coming from, just helping to point out it's not actually physically any bigger. You are correct about weight though. Especially when an Aimpoint T2 is all of 3 oz without a mount. I can't speak for Eotech CS as I've never had to use it, but I did have to use Sig CS on a different dot and they were no questions asked, sent it back on their prepaid label and had a replacement in two weeks (that includes shipping time). So at least they seem to be comparable as far as my sample of one CS experience goes. SIG's CS (from my experience also) has been stellar. I haven't had to send my MCX or MPX back to them but I've been hearing there's been some trouble on that end of their CS spectrum only... I would say that that is definitely one of SIG's selling points is their CS. I forgot to mention above that I'm uncertain on the American authenticity of SIG optics. Thats also a selling point for me. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By doolz: I'm seeing a lot of Romeo8Ts for optics on some of these platforms I know it's all preference but has anyone moved over to these and can attest whether or not this would be a go over an EXPS-3 or T2? I'm on a personal debate on whether or not to pick one up or another one of the Eotech/AimPoint. 8T  Geissele Romeo 8t by Solo__, on Flickr Theoretically URG-i (ish:10.3") by Solo__, on Flickr |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Solo_: I have the 8T as well and love it; it has a different "reticle" thing which I find useful to use. I still also have plenty of Eotechs and I wouldn't know which one to choose over what - so I run both on different uppers 8T https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52339758450_07f630f366_h.jpgGeissele Romeo 8t by Solo__, on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52374958833_508bf28a4b_h.jpgTheoretically URG-i (ish:10.3") by Solo__, on Flickr I'm not going to lie.... In some cases it does have some nice eye candy to it and aesthetically, that's gorgeous. I'll have another chance to run my friend's 8T this weekend and see if I can get a second wind for her. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Engineer5: You guys are kill'n me. I guess I just need to handle one in person. For real. I already built a loose clone of the FBI HRT rifle. This thread has me wanting another upper that basically does the same thing as what I have. I’m with you on wanting to handle one, I wanna see how the rail feels in the hand, but it looks comfy enough I may say screw it and just go for it. |

Quote HistoryNo worries, that first sentence is definitely misleading. Serious question though, are the main differences between the MK18 Block 1 and the 11.5” URGI just the longer barrel and Geissele rail? The sights, lights, etc all the same otherwise? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LsuJon: Not much is the same. URG-Is use block II and later components. Yeah definitely fat fingered that 1. Meant Block 2. Is it the same accessories as the Block 2 for the most part, Surefire Scout, Peq15, EXPS3 being the big ones. |
