Sight in your red dot independent of your irons. Your irons may not be as accurate as you think. Then when shooting get used to the red dot, focus only on the red dot. The irons are now only back up for your red dot if it fails. When sighted in your red toe may, or may not line up with your irons. Trying to use both defeats the whole purpose of a red dot sight

Agreed. And the red dot can be anywhere in the window. It does not have to be centered or lined up with your iron sights. If you can see the dot anywhere in the window and it's on your target, you will hit it. Providing you have properly zeroed the red dot, of course.

Try to zero your Romeo1 each time you go to the range. When I got the gun. It was dead on the front sight. After 3 range sessions with it I noticed my shots were going to the low left. I thought I was having an off day. Had another guy shoot it and it was still going left. Bought a laser bore sight and saw that the red dot was way off. So even though the product manual says it won’t lose its zero because of the springs attached inside. You might want to check it always, especially after a shooting session.

You need to send that optic in for replacement. I have had a ton of issues with the Romeo's, but that is not one of them. Once zeroed, they hold it. Even my EDC RX does not drift.

It’s already there but with a different issue. The diode lost it’s brightness. It still turns on. But it’s very dim. I asked about the zero issue. They told me it will lose its zero. It’s not guaranteed that it will hold. Theoretically it will stay zeroed for the most part because of how it’s designed. But it’s not perfect. That’s why you have to check it. For me. I don’t mind checking the sights. If after 3 range sessions it loses its zero. It’s fair for me.

Dang, you're pretty understanding! That would be entirely unacceptable to me. I shoot my guns a LOT, 2-3 range trips a week. So the zero is confirmed regularly. If I had to tweak them more than once a year, I'd think they were broken. But I've just not had any issues there.

I zero my red dot at 17 yards when I get home. Because that’s how I think I will use the gun. (17 yards is the estimated distance from my bed to the door, distance from the top of the stairs to the bottom of the stairs. Same with my basement stairs)

Your staircases are 51 feet long? Holy cow! That must be some house.

Honestly I was wishing that this happened after they sold off every Romeo1 that they have. So that I might get the new ones that are coming out

Yeah, I hear you there. But I figure over time, I'll get there. None of my Romeo's has stood the test of time, so I'm sure they'll run out of the crappy refurb's they've been sending me as replacements sooner or later.

Good deal. I may have to try that. I'm pretty sure all 4 of the Romeo 1's I have now are refurb's. And all of them are battery eaters. I got 3 of the originals by buying new RX's, and 1 I bought new online. So it really disappoints me to get refurbs as replacements. But I'm so tired of the Romeo replacement treadmill.
