However, just minutes after receiving it, I learned about the msr gen ll, and ended up selling my Romeo 5 for a $5 profit, and will be purchasing the msr gen ll as soon as possible.

I really dig the looks of the new 5 and msr. They’re both almost identical with the exception of the msr’s rotary dial, which I love. My most recent red dot was the Aimpoint t1, and although, that one is literally 4-5 times more expensive than either of sig’s new optics, it’s hard to pass up on an optic with a trusted name, and the rotary dial, which I love. I’m looking forward to using this msr gen ll as my backup optic, and I’m grateful for your thorough insight to one of sig’s newest additions to their line up.

Cheers, boss!

Could not retrieve it or see it. No great loss though as I had gotten it for free and I wrote it off and didn’t think about it any more. Anyway, the MSR was in the pond for a little over two years. Winter came and went, the pond froze over and thawed. Then it came time to drain the pond. When the pond was completely drained, there the MSR was. Retrieved it, wiped enough of the mud off it to see though it, turned it on and it worked. Cleaned it completely, changed the battery, mounted in on a rifle and fired a few hundred rounds and it still worked fine. I still have that MSR, and it still works fine.
