You're lucky then. I've sent mine in twice and Steiner says it working normally. I am not wearing any gloves either. Gloves would make it 10X's worse. This thread is almost 1100 comments long. The locket mechanism is a well known PITA issue in this thread.

Its AL. I could understand if it was made of TI or even 416.

With prices like that people are just going to rip off the design like they already do with brakes and come out with cheaper versions. Hard to patent a brake. And unless you have deep pockets almost impossible to enforce it.

I have shot 3 different rifles/examples of the prototype all in different calibers. Its a great addition to any can. I do think its probably the most effective I've shot to date, but its not dramatically better than the topshot or 419 mav. Ill still buy one but would rather it was made of a more durable material. AL is going to get eroded with heavy firing schedule, especially with people running it on short barrels with unburnt powder.

2018 was the last year of the classic Cummins with the solid lifters. The 2019 motor was all new and had problematic hydraulic lifters among other things. Ford and GM still use cp4 pumps which are very problematic as well. Imo the best bet is to buy the cleanest 2013-2018 Ram 3500 HO you can find. They are basically bulletproof with zero mods and modern enough to be comfortable and powerful.

I just got the G3 BTR 2.5-15 out for the first time last weekend, and also have a G2 ETR 4.5-30. The ETR is a little brighter feeling, with a more generous eyebox. The BTR feels pretty fussy at 15x. I don't have a problem getting behind the ETR at 30x. But it's possible I just didn't mount the BTR in a great spot and need to push it forward a little. ETR also has less chromatic aberration, though the BTR is actually surprisingly good in that realm. BTR also has some wild barrel distortion with close focus at low magnification, gives that marble effect. I haven't observed that on the ETR but I also haven't played with it much at 4.5x at close focus and it's likely there's some of that as well.

I need to spend some more time on the G3 BTR but I may end up selling it due to the eyebox. It's on a 22LR rifle so recoil isn't causing much issue with staying in the eyebox, it's more just about reacquiring it. And, the image isn't mindblowing, but I guess it's pretty decent. I am absolutely keeping the G2 ETR though... fantastic scope, especially for $900. My next step up would be a refurb Razor G3 for over twice the price, and even then, I genuinely don't feel like I'm missing much.
