    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    I'm now wholly unconcerned about my plans tomorrow that involve the C35 and my lightweight 6.5 Creedmoor gas gun.

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    I don't have a PVS-24 of any flavor, but I've owned twenty plus I^2 clip-ons over the years including my current gorgeous PVS-27 that I've had since early 2020. The image quality of a high-end NV clip-on w/ a solid tube is mesmerizing. That said, the image quality of the C35 I received last...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    Absolutely. Please consider that this is ONLY IMAGERY. I have NOT fired this on my X95 yet or tried to zero it. I truly did not intend to do so, but may do so now just as an experiment. I doubt it would pose any problems to zero this setup, but have made no effort to do so at this time. See...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    I would think yes based on the reasoning that my 1.125" mount is ~0.375" lower than the standard 1.5" and it still worked fine. I can test a more extreme version of that later today since I have an LPVO in a 1.93" mount on my X95. I'm guessing you won't have as much screen to work with on the...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    Vortex gen 2 PST 3-15x44 MRAD. I only used it at 6x and below due to the short range involved and so I could still see the menu (I like how they placed the menu/battery indicator so that it is visible through the magnified day optic). The day optic sits in 1.25" rings. I have also looked...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    I was able to get some rounds under my new C35 today. I'm impressed with the image and how easy it was to zero to my setup this afternoon. I confirmed day scope zero on my AR22 at 50 yd, then added the C35. Out of the box, POI was 2 MOA low and 1 MOA right. After two adjustments and six...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    I received mine today and got to look through it but not shoot it yet. I can only speak to the image at this point. I am simply dumbfounded by how good the image is, before even taking into account the price tag. I've owned a shit load of thermals, the nicest of which was the AN/PAS-13G LWTS...

    Excellent, thanks for the response!

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    Has anyone successfully used a C35 in front of a scope mounted in a 20-30 MOA mount? It has always been fine with my PVS-30, PVS-27, and PAS-13G, but those are mil-spec collimated devices. My guess is that it would be fine since the image can be zeroed, but if anyone has any direct experience...

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    For anyone that has time behind both XTRIII magnification offerings, is there any truth to the claims that the 30x is optically superior to the 18x? I don't see myself using 30x and like ~3x for use with clip-ons at closer distances. The additional weight penalty is undesirable as well. I'm...

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    I really appreciate you taking the time to post those pictures. This scope is very tempting indeed since it has an enormous elevation range, capped windage, purportedly good glass, etc.

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    That makes sense, thanks for the reply. I think I'm going to just have to try finding one to look through.

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    Holy crap that is thin. Hopefully, that number just wasn't updated from the non-illuminated manual. Looking at my gen 2 PST 3-15 EBR-2D manual, the main crosshair looks to be 0.052 mrad. I don't know that i would want a reticle that is twice as fine.

    That is great information, thank you for sharing!

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    Bingo. I tried the Razor LHT 4.5-22 but was underwhelmed by glass difference from PST2 and did not like the turrets. I looked hard at the NF NX8s but see too many complaints about how NOT easy they are to get behind and pickiness of parallax. I see so many NX8s being sold by end users that it...

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    Thanks for the reply. My other concern was how thin the reticle is. I get that this shouldn't really be an issue anymore with the advent of illumination. I have always thought the EBR-2C/D and EBR-7 reticles hit the nail on the head with being thick enough so it doesn't vanish below 6x while...

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    I'm on the fence about picking up one of the 3.3-18 illuminated models. Has anyone directly compared a 3.3-18 model against the gen 2 Vortex PST 3-15? Is the Burris optically and/or mechanically better than the Vortex comparator? Every time I buy or try an optic that is 2-4x the price of the...

    Faxon Barrel for a lightweight 6.5 creedmoor build or something else?

    +1 I did one on an extra M5 receiver set I had just for something more manageable w/ a can during deer season. That Gunner profile barrel is easily under 1 MOA w/ factory Hornady ammunition and the weight/length reduction is wonderful. It is a very handy gun, but it is also spectacularly...
