Sneak Peek – ROMEO8T AMR Optic from SIG SAUER

Tuesday, February 11th, 2025

In addition to the Machine Gun Optic and Weapons Attached Ranging Platform unveiled during SIG SAUER’s recent Global Defense Demo Day in Las Vegas, they also showed off the ROMEO8T AMR. The AMR suffix denotes Automatically Modified Reticle.

Based on the current ROMEO8T 1 x 38 red dot optic, it is a closed system and has been modified for its new, expanded role, which makes it a good choice for use on LMGs and Carbines.

Despite its small size, the ROMEO8T AMR’s 40mm window Field of View is slightly bigger than the EOTech. Engineers tell me they can go up to a 52mm FOV with this footprint.

The reticle options offer a 2 MOA dot, Circle Dot, BDC, and ballistic holds. Additionally, there are 12 brightness level settings as well as three Night Vision settings.

It is paired with the JULIET3T Micro magnifier. There is a magnetic switch that detects when the Magnifier rotates into position which changes the the reticle in use to another preselected reticle and brightness setting and makes it smaller and less bright to ensure you can continue to see it in the magnified view.

Although the ROMEO 8T is more mature than the Machine Gun Optic we previewed last week, it is still a ways out from release.

Here is a video provided by SIG SAUER which highlights the new optics.

It covers the ROMEO-X enclosed pistol red dot featuring SIG-LOC, a revolutionary mounting system delivering unmatched zero retention and precision and well as the all-new FOXTROT pistol light. It also showcases the ROMEOBT AMR, featuring magnetic reticle switching paired with a flip-down magnifier and the groundbreaking ROMEO9T, one of the most advanced multi-reticle rifle optics ever built.

Strike Industries Releases the XA Handguard for SIG SAUER CROSS

Friday, February 7th, 2025

Strike Industries has just released the X-Axis Handguard for the SIG Cross bolt action rifle. In pure Strike fashion, the Strike XA is a sleek and extremely functional handguard that functions as a direct OEM replacement – it even reuses the original screws from SIG’s handguard.

With a 2 piece design, the top picatinny rail of the receiver no longer needs to be removed in order to remove the handguard. This also enables the user to be able to maintain their rifle without removing their optic which saves the need for re-zeroing as often.

All around the handguard M-LOK slots can be found at the 3, 6, 9, 10, and 2 o’clock positions. There 4 steel QD sling points in total on the handguard. The two QD points closest to the receiver are anti-rotational. At the front of the handguard there is a picatinny front bridge for additional accessories such as a laser, IR, or thermal device.

The key feature of the Strike XA Handguard is its built-in ARCA rail at the 6 o’clock position which spans the entire length of the handguard. Avid lightweight backpacker hunters can now have a SIG Cross rifle that is not only stowable, ergonomic, but also ready to be mounted onto a tripod at a moment’s notice.

Even without a tripod, the wider flat surface area on the bottom of the handguard makes for an even more easily stabilized shooting experience when mounted on top of tables or other objects.

The Strike XA Handguard serves to elevate aesthetics and increase functional performance with users’ SIG CROSS rifles. Now available through authorized dealers and Strike Industries’ official website. For more information, visit www.strikeindustries.com or contact the Strike Team at mkt@strikeindustries.com.
