Just in case no one is aware, Sig is releasing a 4T pro which uses the 2032 battery. It’s literally this optic with 2032, as far as I can find online for something that hasn’t been released yet. The model number is SOR44101.
@@cohesive3482 just so other people will see this, the black version of the 4T pro is 439.99 on euro optic right now. Also the 4XT pro is currently out of stock on euro optic BUT it’s also on sale for 463.99 for black and 479.99 for FDE.
The reticle solves the problem that the holosun 507 had. Instead of having a chevron with secondary dots, it has a 2MOA dot with smaller secondary dots. I love this set-up with the Juliet 4. This combo is the golden standard in the industry right now
Personally I think the inclusion of an ARD and sacrificial lenses are a better inclusion than another riser. Most shooters going any higher than a lower 1/3rd typically have a specific build and feature set in mind for a mount that tall. Stacking spacers also tends to be heavier and less sturdy the taller they go compared to a dedicated tall mount. It may sound silly but the inclusion of simple things like the ARD and such are part of why I bought multiple 4Ts when they first came out because it had everything I needed in them for non-night vision rifles. If someone can afford nvgs they can afford unity and etc.
Glad to see the 4t series getting the recognition it deserves. I have the standard Rome4t in FDE, purchased recently from Sig for $350. Don't have much need for better NV capability so this model was fine for me. It is pure excellence - and phenomenal value at that price. Mine doesn't have a blue tint at all, glass looks great. I've been able to make hits out to 350 - 400 yards with no magnification using the multi dot holdovers. The versatility of the reticles combined with the overall ruggedness, look, and functionality make this red dot stand alone against all other current competitors. Love it!
What's interesting is that Sig just introduced the Romeo 4T Pro, which is in every way identical to the 4XT Pro but uses a CR2032 battery instead of a AAA battery. As for the 4 XT Pro, when it comes to batteries, the quick fix for the AAA alkaline battery would be to use AAA Lithium batteries instead. Overall, great video as it covers many key points as it gives a very even-keeled review of the optic.
Finally, I've been waiting for you do do a review on this specific dot. I haven't been overly interested in the sig dots, but having a BDC and a NV mode make this an intriguing option.
I have a 4H and love it. Im no super stealth operator so it does all I need and then some for a great price. Couldn’t justify getting this one but I’m glad it’s available for those who want it.
I got a Romeo 4t pretty recently and man that glass is clear I was expecting the blue tint that I heard everyone talking about but with the sale price i was willing to deal with it and was pleasantly surprised
The 4XT is one of the most feature rich red dots on the market, however Sig’s reputation with red dots does leave some to be desired. But at least they’re innovating unlike other manufactures. I would love to see an Aimpoint T3 with various reticles built-in.
This, if I could get an eotech style reticle in an Aimpoint T3 I'd buy Aimpoint again. Built in hold overs are cool, plain dot is dumb. Until then it's Holosun for me.
@MellowFellowOfYellow eotech style reticles will always be superior with hold overs on rifles from 3yds to a couple hundred. You being able to do it with a plain dot doesn't change that fact.
@@WyattDerpTheNotSoEarpI mean, the M5B allows for elevation dialing and you can customize the turret for whatever sub tensions you desire. IMO, that’s better than a generic pre-determined reticle inside of a red dot sight.
It's not a fair comparison, in my opinion. Sig firearms (especially their pistols) are definitely a wait till the next next generation, but I feel their optics are fine. The 4t is a fine optic with minor problems. Let's not forget that aimpoint Acro had a gen1and the current Acros are having some qc issues.
The 8T is my favorite red dot and due to all your previous videos it's what sold me on buying one I can't afford a second and this looks like a nice alternative that's also more affordable
Been running aimpoint for years because of the longer battery life, but often times I miss the eotech reticle. When I saw this come out I replaced my t2 and have been running in with an aimpoint 6x mag, both on Unity mounts. Great multipurpose dot for my 14.5”. Performance under nods was comparable to the t2, tbh I was a little worried about how it would do based on the regular R4T but this is for sure my fav red dot currently. Eotech reticle with aimpoint battery life and great under nods. Only thing I miss is the brightness setting adjustment knob on the t2, not a big fan of the buttons on top for the Romeo (mainly for us snowbirds with gloves on 1/2 of the year) but i can manage. Solid review bro
Thanks for sharing as it looks interesting. Would love for Hop to do a comparison of using the Red Dot + Magnifier versus a Prismatic Scope with a Red Dot offset. It would be interesting to see which one he hates most!
I'm a partially crippled poor, so I can't have any of this cool stuff. All my guns are either ancient, or novel range toys.

For which your channel is so perfectly suited. Really appreciate all the work you put in to these video's. Hope you're well. ^_^
Mentioning C_DOES, love his channel. I was having a rough time getting a used lpvo for hunting. Watched a couple of his videos and got talked into ordering a swampfox arrowhead 1-10x. I don't regret it and actually enjoy the optic more than some popular models.
4T's rating was without the solar panel. There's no good way to measure how much battery life the panel gives you. Good to see this finally hit the market! And I think you'll like the 4TPRO even more if you like CR2032s :)
10:11 -- Your adorable cat reminded me that my Mom's cat shat all over the kitchen rug this morning, then puked on the sofa. I think she bought a bad batch of Meow Mix.
I’ve owned a lot of cats, I’m not really concerned about the puking on its own but if it normally never craps anywhere but the litter box, that could be a sign. Hopefully🤞there’s nothing wrong and you’ll give me a nasty reply about wasting your money at the vet, but better safe than sorry
@@williamflowers9435 -- My mom's two cats should definitely go to the vet for digestive issues but sadly my mom won't take them nor allow anyone else to take them. It's really pissing me off. I would steal the cats and take them myself if I could afford to.
@@jake9705 I’m not sure how expensive it would be or available in your area but there are some vets that’ll make house calls. Idk if your mom or anyone at the house qualifies as a senior citizen but some vets will do it for seniors too, especially if they have trouble leaving the house.
Given all the T2 alternatives coming to market, I think a comparison on mount height would be interesting. While they all have the same footprint, many have varying amounts of material resulting in a *slightly* different height from optic to optic on the same mount. Especially the Holosuns with the tray style battery compartment.
On a side note, i saw you using the Juliet 4. How do you like it, do you think it competes well with the other popular magnifiers? Just ordered one to pair with Eotech 552.
The Romeo 2 also passed sage dynamic's drop test..... I wish Sig would make an attempt at an acro competitor. I know there is holosun but Sig makes an attempt for their higher end stuff to be more us assembled with less / no Chinese parts.
Sig optics absolutely use Chinese parts. For all intents and purposes they're the same as holosun. Only difference is location of manufacture. Quality wise they're identical (which is to say they're both pretty damn good - I'm not ripping on holosun). Edit: Apparently I was misinformed - only their lower end optics are Chinese.
They do make an Acro competitor now... well, sort of... the Romeo-M17. It's pretty specific to P320's that lose the rear iron sights (they were going for a .gov contract), but I wouldn't be surprised if they release a more generic version eventually.
@@asdfghjk2933 Some of the lower-end Sig dots use Chinese dots, but the 4T and 8T series are entirely US-made with the exception of a Japanese circuit board.
@@asdfghjk2933 For their lower tier optics they do use Chinese manufacturers and parts. However for their high end optics they use Japanese (the electronics iirc) / US parts and are assembled in America. I can't link the info on TH-cam but you can ask Sig yourself if you want to. They want the gov to use their hard use optics. I wouldn't be shocked if some components are Chinese or have touched the Chinese supply chain, but I don't think it's a "all or nothing" distinction.
I have a sig 4h. It's okay for what I need it for which is Plinking. However, I learned that the buttons get fucked up when they are on top of the optic too. My verdict is the sig buttons on this T1/ T2 clone are not good.
You recently purchased an Aimpoint T2. Disregarding the $300 price difference, do you still think the Romeo 4xt is better overall? As I recall you were unsurprisingly very positive on the T2. I assume the reticle options of the 4xt is a big plus in its favor.
The T2 is a very safe bet, and I'm not planning to use mine with a magnifier. The more complex reticle is only interesting to me with a magnifier, otherwise I'd prefer the dot.
Alkaline AAA included! Sig ships these bad boys with an alkaline Energizer Max AAA in the box, and makes reference to alkaline AAA throughout the manual. I understand Mr. Hop's reason for using lithium, but I will run what they provided and see how it performs. They typically only leak when installed in a device that is not used AT ALL for a very long period of time.
I bought one as soon as they became available. I love this optic, you can really tell the quality compared to say a Holosun. Not to hate on Holosun, I do really like the 503g. The only downside I have with my 4xt pro is that there is a slight more blue hue looking through the optic compared to my 503g. It’s more of a slight annoyance than anything and given the features of this optic, I feel I can overlook that.
2:56 i know a lot of people who look for radiosonde (the electronic in "weather baloons") and i recognise this battery. This thing can survive for hours at 50 k feet easily. It will survive a cold night
The real application for this is as a led acog piggy back to share battery resupply. Micro footprint compatability is oversold. Besides the actual t2 and holosun paraglow acss, all other dots i am aware of have have a taller body so it wont line up with the flip to center on a unity mount. Dont care if it still works, or if it is a better value, my ocd wil not allow me to buy this for non piggy back.
Hop are you telepathic or something? I was literally looking all of last night at red dot options and I was debating on this exact combo over the vortex cross fire dots.
I realize this is kind of nit picking, but EOTech's battery life still doesn't seem to be there with the XPS3 only being rated at 1000 hours. Do they still drain batteries when in standby mode? The 553 I had back when did... Nothing like picking up your rifle with an optic that would automatically go into standby after 8 hours only to find the batteries that hadn't seen a lot of use are stone dead. We use to pop the covers off just to break the contact and keep them from draining batteries in storage...
I bought a 4T and it doesnt have the blue tint like what I saw in the video. I really like this red dot. Good middle ground between Holosun and Aimpoint.
I prefer the Romeo4H low mount absolute co=witness with my iron sights on my AR9 PCC for close quarters and out to 30 yards !!! It is one sexy battle carbine to look at while strapped in sling and all !!
I bought my 4t from sig directly after they supposedly had updated the glass but mine does not appear to be updated. Still like it though for the price.
Would you do a review on the NorthTac magnifier and P12 1/3 CW combo if you ever get your hands on a set? Would want to hear your opinions on it and point out any bad things that may be on the set because I've been aiming for it in a long while.
Hi Hop, I really enjoy your videos. I'm wanting a tube style dot as an offset for my LPVO on my competition AR-15 and also on my big bore revolver (500 magnum). If price was not an issue, which would you recommend? Romeo 4T Pro or the T2?
Id probably just go 4t pro, the t2 is an old optic, so unless you really want a dial for the illumination, the sig will give you more features and stuff in the box. The T2 is good, but its very basic compared to the 4t pro. Plus money is an object so for the savings you can get yourself an offset mount and a 4t for the same price as a t2 without mount.
I’m still a fan of the Romeo 4T - the slight blue tint w/ hex cap and better aluminum housing is my preferred setup and for a non-NV it’s a great value.
For those so inclined, if you have Strelok Pro installed from before the sanctions, you can still get the 4T ballistic reticle and use it, it's still the same as the 4XT Pro

Dont care if it still works, or if it is a better value, my ocd wil not allow me to buy this for non piggy back.
Thx Hop 👍 keep em coming man
Hop are you telepathic or something? I was literally looking all of last night at red dot options and I was debating on this exact combo over the vortex cross fire dots.
Time to watch another video on something I know I will never afford
:D
it's that kind of can do spirit that the US was built on! Wait....
its only $450 lol
580 isn't bad
@@christiandruan I think you massively underestimate how many people live paycheck to paycheck.
The one dislike is from James
Holosun aems also has good passive performance
I have 3 buddies using various models of the Romeo 4. Gotta say they sure seem to be really good optics.
I wonder if Hop ever runs across Paul Harrel. It would be funny to see our Lesbian Aunt hang out with our favorite crazy uncle.
One day, Hop will finally review the Romeo 5. That was my choice on my first rifle.
He has. Its crap under night vision but ok for the money.
Seeing Hop videos without ALG rails doesn't feel right.
I still have a few ALG rails in play, you'll see them again.
I realize this is kind of nit picking, but EOTech's battery life still doesn't seem to be there with the XPS3 only being rated at 1000 hours. Do they still drain batteries when in standby mode? The 553 I had back when did... Nothing like picking up your rifle with an optic that would automatically go into standby after 8 hours only to find the batteries that hadn't seen a lot of use are stone dead.
We use to pop the covers off just to break the contact and keep them from draining batteries in storage...
babe wake up, new Hop video
I really like my 4xt-pro, good upgrade from the vortex uh-1
To be fair almost anything is an upgrade from a Vortex UH1
@Hoplopfheil Lol most true response I've ever seen 😅 I just sold my UH-1 and replaced it with the this red dot.
Aimpoint really screwed the pooch letting everyone else run past them with the bdc reticles.
I put mine on my rifle and it was zeroed exactly at 36 yards already. Hitting 2 inch groups. No zero needed
Great video! Just placed my order. 😊
That coating is made of unobtainium!
I bought a 4T and it doesnt have the blue tint like what I saw in the video. I really like this red dot. Good middle ground between Holosun and Aimpoint.
I can confirm it I play with that in Tarkov
That feeling when hop starts to suspiciously praise Sig
I honestly prefer the 4T with solar panel. It works without batteries during daytime.
I’m holding out for the non XT version because CR2032 master race
Thank you. Nice review
Russel Phagan made a video of these on Inrange and there is a 4T Pro that uses 2032 batteries instead of triple A's. Good luck finding one however.
Holy Flurking Schnit! Hop has a positive opinion on a product? I am so down.
Another great 0 BS review. Thx.
Love your content thanks.
I prefer the Romeo4H low mount absolute co=witness with my iron sights on my AR9 PCC for close quarters and out to 30 yards !!! It is one sexy battle carbine to look at while strapped in sling and all !!
I literally just heard of this this weekend as I zeroed my romeo 8t lol might buy this to replace the 8t to save weight
Props to sig for including killflash,what other company does that ?
thank you for the cat guest feature
great content, needs more r/gatcat tho!
for reals tho i appreciate your spending on all the nvg related stuff, helps me save alot of money and time
I bought my 4t from sig directly after they supposedly had updated the glass but mine does not appear to be updated. Still like it though for the price.
I'm always interested in optics videos until I hear what they cost. Oof!
Mostly paying for a name brand and "R&D" for a products which are not upgraded as promised until a different model.
Would you do a review on the NorthTac magnifier and P12 1/3 CW combo if you ever get your hands on a set? Would want to hear your opinions on it and point out any bad things that may be on the set because I've been aiming for it in a long while.
i like the 4s best because it is QD and solar
My recently purchased 4T still has blue tint
Wow, Hop actually likes something.
Hi Hop, I really enjoy your videos. I'm wanting a tube style dot as an offset for my LPVO on my competition AR-15 and also on my big bore revolver (500 magnum). If price was not an issue, which would you recommend? Romeo 4T Pro or the T2?
Id probably just go 4t pro, the t2 is an old optic, so unless you really want a dial for the illumination, the sig will give you more features and stuff in the box. The T2 is good, but its very basic compared to the 4t pro. Plus money is an object so for the savings you can get yourself an offset mount and a 4t for the same price as a t2 without mount.
I’m still a fan of the Romeo 4T - the slight blue tint w/ hex cap and better aluminum housing is my preferred setup and for a non-NV it’s a great value.
this really is the red dot of all time
I'd like to see what Hop thinks of the promethean lp-1 red dot
4:15 considering SIG, I would not be surprised if they did
Great video! New Subscriber thanks for all you do
You can tell which model of the 4T you have based on whether it has a barcode on the side or not, the barcode versions are all the updated vers.
Barcode or QR code? Bought mine used and have no idea when it was manufactured
@@t.d.8867 It'll be a white QR code next to the optic's serial number.
@@cdj8520 thanks! Looks like a have the updated version!
