Hmm... Do I want one Romeo 9, or do I want six Aimpoints/Eotechs?

Tough choice.

But look on the bright side, if you shoot .300 BLK, you've got an optic that shows both super and subsonic aiming and saves weight.......

Seriously, I do want to see govt cost on this thing per unit.

It's so reliable they had to put two protective hoods over the glass. Looks like a really good place for moisture, dust, mud to cake in...freeze, swell and break something.

If you look at the side view, the outer cover looks slotted so stuff might not collect in there.

I like the concept with the dual aiming, and the passive night vision.
Oh, wait, I don’t have night vision, so it looks like I saved myself $4000

got that email today too, but didn't really click it... DAMN that's 1 expensive RDS !!!

This is an interesting offering by SIG. Is it something very many individuals will purchase? No, but I believe it doesn’t hurt the company to advertise and make it available to the public, and who knows? Maybe the horse will learn to sing and they will sell a few of the extras they have.

And the people who would buy one (or more, even) aren’t likely to be those who have more money than sense. If someone can afford one of those without mortgaging the house, he probably has plenty of sense or at least is part of a family with plenty of sense. When I look at old photos in YouTube videos I’m struck by how fabulously wealthy the vast majority of Americans today are in terms of material possessions as compared with the past and even now in comparison with much of the world. As the saying goes, “I want to live in a country where the poorest people are fat.”

If I wanted one, I’d certainly buy it before I’d buy a Rolex or the car some celebrity of distant memory drove in a thriller movie. One of the great benefits of life today is that we (Americans anyway) have countless things to waste our money on—and we do.
