SIG Sauer Romeo 4XT Pro: AAA Battery Powered

Adding a red dot sight to your setup is an excellent way to improve aim and rapid target acquisition. Of course, many red dots on the market utilize hard-to-find batteries, which can be frustrating. Sig Sauer understands the need for an effective product with a simple power source, and the Romeo 4XT Pro delivers. This red dot is powered by a AAA battery and performs exactly as needed for a variety of applications.

According to Sig Sauer, the ROMEO 4XT-PRO offers many of the same reliable features as the popular ROMEO 4T, such as high-end optical performance, quad-reticle, and impressive durability. However, it boasts additional features the company says have been specifically requested by professionals. Those additions include the illumination control being moved to the top of the sight, to provide easy access with either hand, which also reduces the risk of getting hung up on chest rigs and plate carriers when the rifle is slung.

The ROMEO 4XT PRO also has a dedicated night vision override switch, making it easy to switch settings in low-lighting conditions. This system combines Motion Activated Illumination (MOTAC) with an easy-to-find AAA battery and has a manufacturer rating for 50,000 hours of runtime. That’s undeniably impressive, and an important feature for serious users. In addition, the ROMEO 4XT-PRO is IPX8-rated waterproof, fog proof, and is tested to MIL-STD-810 for reliability.

Features of the ROMEO 4XT PRO include:

  • Top-mounted button activation for ambidextrous use with no need to lower the rifle from the shoulder.
  • Night vision override simplifies the changing of settings in low or no-light scenarios.
  • Protected adjustments to maintain zero during use.
