Sig Sauer ROMEO8T-AMR – Advanced Closed Red Dot with Automatic Modified Reticle
The Sig Sauer ROMEO8T-AMR (SOR8T101) builds on the proven ROMEO8T platform while reducing overall size and weight by over 30%. Designed alongside the JULIET3T-AMR micro magnifier, this optic introduces Automatic Modified Reticle (AMR) technology — a system that dynamically adjusts the reticle configuration when paired with an AMR-compatible magnifier.
Despite its compact footprint, the ROMEO8T-AMR features a massive 40mm clear aperture, delivering enhanced field of view and situational awareness.
What Is AMR – Automatic Modified Reticle?
AMR (Automatic Modified Reticle) technology allows the optic to automatically transition between reticle configurations when used with an AMR-equipped magnifier.
Benefits include:
- Seamless reticle adjustment
- Optimized aiming reference with magnifier engaged
- No manual switching required
- Enhanced speed and clarity in variable engagement distances
This makes the ROMEO8T-AMR particularly suited for users running a magnifier setup.
Night Vision & Illumination Performance
The ROMEO8T-AMR includes:
- 15 brightness settings (12 daylight + 3 night vision)
- Dedicated NV override control
- High-performance multi-coated lens system
With IPX-8 waterproof certification, it is built for demanding environmental conditions.
