Title: Scorpion Optics
Post by: echofiveniner on October 06, 2020, 10:19:55 AM
What kind of optics are you guys running on your Scorpions or PDWs?  I am looking for something reliable and quick for 0-50.

  I've used a mix of Trijicon MROs and Aimpoint micros (T-1 and T-2). Been very happy with all of them. I like the smaller size on a gun the size of a Scorpion vs the larger M2/M4/PRO type optics I like on larger guns.

I have a Pro on my Saint that I really like. I was thinking the MRO or Steiner DRS1x for this one. I really like my RMR but I am not sure if I want to put one on my carbine. My other concern is figuring out the correct mounting height in order to get cheek weld while buying online.

Sig Romeo 5 in a low mount

I have a couple MROs on ARs but it just felt too big on top of the scorpion

Just picked up my S2 today and will be adding the Sig Romeo5.

Another Sig Romeo 5 for the win.  For the money it can't be beat.

I have the RMR on mine to co-witness with the iron sites but it feels too low.  It doesn't point naturally without a lot of time on the gun.  I'll likely change to a T1 I have laying around with a see through base and see if I like it better (closer to my AR sight height)

YMMV

Been running a Primary Arms Classic (Gen II), pretty durable and keeps zero. I also keep it on all the time; it's been on for about 2.5 years now.

I use Aimpoints on my other weapons but didn't want to shell out for that on a pistol, and I've been very pleasantly surprised with the PA sight. For $90 it does effectively the same thing as the $750 T1 Micro I run on my main AR...

Trijicon MRO. I tried a few different options and this won out for me. Light, field of view is surprisingly nice. Its a trijicon product, so its reliable and tough. I do wish they came with the newer reticle that is in the HD when I got mine. I wont buy the new one just for it, but i do wish I had it.

That said I also really like the Gen 2 Vortex Huey

I have been running a Primary Arms advanced micro dot on a low moun5 and love it.

Can’t speak high enough of the holosun 510c. Perfect size IMO, reticle has 3 modes, great glass clarity. Too me the best option for the scorpion. If you look through the picture post it’s the most popular option. Price isn’t too bad either ($300).
Title: Re: Scorpion Optics
Post by: akspotmom on October 11, 2020, 08:16:50 PM
Holosun 510c. Love it. Specs from Amazon: 

The Holosun HS510C New advanced technology LED allows up to 50,000 hours of operation on one CR2032 battery
2 MOA dot and a 65 MOA ring, Dot only, Ring only, or Dot and Ring reticle combinations
Unlimited field of view, Titanium-alloyed, shock resistant hood
Powered by both battery and solar
QD mount integrated for easy mounting and removal

Sig Romeo 5 here also.
Title: Re: Scorpion Optics

Holosun 403b here- all the same features as the Romeo5. Been a solid optic.
Title: Re: Scorpion Optics
Post by: mikec on October 11, 2020, 11:51:29 PM
Country of origin for Holosun, Sig Romeo 5?
Title: Re: Scorpion Optics
Post by: MadDuner on October 12, 2020, 06:04:56 PM
Nowhere in any of my Sig documentation does it say country of manufacture.

The internet says that both the Romeo5 and Holosun come out of the same factory in China.

Anyone know what low mount will work on a Sig MSR and absolute co-witness on the Scorpion carbine?
Title: Re: Scorpion Optics
Post by: SEB2337 on September 14, 2022, 09:15:19 AM
is everyone that's running a Romeo 5 still happy? I agree for the money it seems like you can't go wrong. I definitely don't want to spend Eotech money again at least not for the scorpion. I am happy with my romeo01pro on my 320AXG but obviously they're different animals and a big price difference.

I have used an eotech, holosun 510 and an MRO on mine.

I'm using a Vortex Spitfire AR prism on my Scorpion due to my really bad eyes (astigmatism). Regular dots look like alien amoebas to me. The prism ring works out great for close in, quick shots for me. This gun is not my long range precision gun anyway.

I have tried two Holosuns and one Sig my Scorpion and with the low mount they do co-witness. Not sure if the MSR is the same size/height, but it sure looks like it...

I have a Holosun HE503GU-Green on my Micro Scorpion, a Holosun HS503GU-Red on standard braced Scorpion pistol and a Holosun HS503GU-Red on my FA HK MP5. I have all 3 setup for the circle dot reticle, which works perfectly for me. Anything inside the 65moa circle at 25yds is very quickly a solid hit. The 2moa dot is perfect for more precision (hostage taker head shots in shoot house) and longer ranges 100+ yds. The Scorpions are in the low mounts directly to the rail and they co-witness perfectly with standard sights for me. The HK uses the lowest profile mount I could get and with the Holosun using it's low mount, it also co-witnesses with the factory sights. So far, (knock on wood), all have worked perfectly. All 3 use the standard CR2032 battery in the side mount screw on cap (now discontinued), which makes it extremely easy to change out batteries when needed. All 3 models have the Shake Awake feature to conserve battery life.

I have a newer model Holosun HS503CU that utilizes a side mounted battery tray that uses incredibly small headed torx screws to secure the battery tray (you have to utilize their driver tool of which I have already stripped the bit on the one provided and they did send a replacement) and it is a huge pain in the ass to change the batteries. Whatever bean counter or engineer that came up with this battery tray design needs to stop sucking oxygen permanently.

Primary Arms SLX Gen 3.  Nuff said.

Primary Arms also. GLX 2X Prism.  Love the etched and illuminated reticle.

Another vote for the Holosun, in my case, the 510C Elite.  This one has a green laser, which IMO is easier to see. I like the 510 series because the glass is larger than most pistol sized red dots, and it gives a wider angle of view, and yet the overall size isn't too large so that it doesn't look too big on the compact Scorpion.

Got Romeo 5’s for both Scorpions and they’ve been great not just from the price point but also in terms of battery life, durability and reliability the past 6 years.

Tring to decide romoe5 or hs510c?

What do you guys think?
Title: Re: Scorpion Optics
Post by: Tiger2Tank on November 24, 2022, 09:19:29 AM
If the Romeo and Holosun have basically the same features (Holosun has a few more reticle options), price tag moves me to the Romeo.  I’m about to make an optic decision for mine myself.

Leaning toward the romeo with low mount. What are you planning to do?

This one looks like a winner: PA SLX 1x microprism with ACSS 9mm Gemini reticle.

Holosun 510 is one of the best red dots you can buy multi reticle is just unbeatable.

Post by: plinkerguy on December 05, 2022, 08:26:02 PM
Purchased a romeo 5 from ebay. seems to be a fake.

Seems like I have a astigmatism as well. Not sure if its the knock off dot scope or if its my eyes.


Need to get the the gun store to look at the 510c

Just got the SIG Romeo5 and installed it.  Haven’t shot it yet, but it seems like it will really be a good sight.

Holoson HS515CM and never looked back. Put the same one on my HK SP5. Removed the riser mount on both.

Holosun 503CU here.  Color is not quite black, although that was what holosun called it.

Lower 1/3 (at best) cowitness with the stock irons.  Pretty far off from absolute since the stock sights are so low.

Has held up pretty well to lots of rounds.
