www.burrisoptics.com Not sure what the diff is between 2 & 3, but these look like they could be great values/possible substitute. I'm sure the Steiner will be better resolution, but my son is using a first gen BTS50 to good effect with their 400x300. I bet the street price is closer to 2 than 3.
This is the only vid I can find of the Gen 2 from shot show(1:55). Rep says $3499 MSRP
Bam. I bet some wonderful vendor can get SH members members a price that starts with a 2.
Who's in for a group buy?

I got offered one of the C35 gen 1, new with full warranty for about 1700usd, worth it compared to newer tech?
Bought it, excited to try this out
The unit seems to be delivered with a picatinny mount in the US? The euro version does not, any aftermarket options or is the best bet to get one from Steiner?
Trigger pulled on C35 Gen 2. Can't wait to get hands on.
Who did you buy it from?
Steiner C35 Gen 2 - Initial range trips and first hunt
Greetings all. As stated in the C35 Gen 1 thread, I was primed and ready to jump on the grenade when the Gen 2 dropped and I ordered it the morning after I saw it appear on Gunbroker. The unit comes with batteries, cables, a charger and no way to mount it on an optic. The rail mount is not...

Mainly just lighter, albiet by having a polymer body instead of aluminum. I wouldn't call it much if an upgrade
Isn't the technology better in gen2 than gen1? I thought I read something about a better refresh rate or some other resolution benefits from Gen2 over Gen1.
a little, but not by a huge margined from what I've read. Not being rail-mountable is a huge downgrade imo.
Yep, fuckin europeans lol.
Both show 50Hz. Gen I is <50mK and gen II is <30mK. 800x600 OLED on the Gen I and 1280x960 on the Gen II.
I'm not sure if those are specs that someone can detect with the eye or not.

My buddy recently got the gen 2 and i have the gen 1. The image does look noticeably better on the gen 2. Haven't gotten a chance to use them in the field yet though.
It's my understanding AR-10's eat optics in general. As it has been explained to me, it isn't the amount of recoil per se, but rather the harmonics of the impulse back and forth. Burris told me they used the thermals on 50's without an issue but the shutters don't like AR-10's.
Its a mirrorless camera and a computer. I'm going to limit my semi use to suppressed 556/Grendel and 308 bolt guns.
Resolution is excellent, I think for the money it has a better screen than almost anything else anywhere near the price - up to even double the cost if I recall when I was researching.

I've shot my .308 AR-10: M&P-10 with my C35 clipped on and have shot maybe 100-200 rounds so far I haven't see any issues with my C35.
