Any thoughts on similarities and differences between the Steiner and xtr iii?

Just bought one for $1436 shipped from locked and loaded. Heck of a deal and I've been tracking prices over the last 6 months trying to find it less than $1850. This was a buy now! price for me.

Oh man. I’m disappointed to read this. I have been very happy with my 2 4-20x XTR II’s and a 3.3-18x US made XTR III. I have had a Pro sitting in my cart for Black Friday hoping for a deal or something but now I’m second guessing that I should get another minox LR instead.

My throw lever arrived. It fits very tight on the ring and works so much better than the gnurled ring. The scope is now useable.

I am really liking this scope but I can’t deal with the knurled knobs anymore. The elevation turret is manageable but the zoom ring is too much. I bit the bullet and ordered a throw lever.

I have both. The 3 is much stiffer than the 2. I haven’t worked the XTR iii all that much but I suspect it’ll loosen up. If not I’ll get a throw lever.

Primary Arms. Unfortunately they look out of stock as of tonight.

The 3.3-18x arrived today. I never had a problem with my 4-20x XTR II but this XTR III is a heck of an upgraded model. The glass looks good with just a hint of purple fringing if I’m at a light transition. The field of view is incredible. The scr2 reticle is nice and thin, I think I’ll like it...

I vividly remember a middle school fist fight that involved a clenched fist flying into my eye. I can understand why you’re trying to avoid eye punches…

Since pictures and video are out there already, could we get a top down picture wherein we can make our own inferences to what this mystery XTR might be called. I ask because my “enhance” button is currently disabled.

From the grainy YouTube video it looks like it may be a switch rather than a button. Since we already know that the illumination appears controlled in the typical manner, what else could that be on the turret? LRF? Nah. What about a switch for a spring loaded mechanism that when slid to the...
