Just opened the box on a loaner from Third Coast Thermal.
I like the mount. Its the same mount that they have been using on their dbal lasers. It self adjusts. Its has a great tactile feel when installing or removing the sight. The odd thing is that you need a tool to adjust the sight. You cannot adjust the zero with just your fingers.
I had to install the riser to align the sight for use on the AR platform. I need to check the cowitness. Steiner does not include any allen wrenches.
I zeroed it at 50 yards. Bore sighted the rifle from the hog saddle. It was easy to zero. The adjustment knobs use a phillips or a slothead screwdriver. They have a distinct tactile response between clicks.
It was easy to get on steel.
The sight has two reticles with 2 NV settings and is visible in bright sunlight.
One reticle has a single dot.
The other setting has 3 dots.
3-dot stadia reticle. The center dot represents a 50-meter sight in and the three stadia dots are calibrated for ranges of 10, 7 and 5 meters.
The top dot is 50m zero
The bottom 3 dots are for upclose
These 3 stadia dots deal with the offest from the height of the sight above the bore axis
The sight uses two cr2032 batteries. They are behind a plate that is secured with 4 screws. These are phillips but i was able to install the batteries without tools.
It operates on one battery with a reduced battery life. Battery life with two cr2032s is reportedly around 700hrs. We will see.
