Looking for Consensus on Steiner S35

[Devildog]

I’m looking for input on the S35. Information is scarce (yes I read all 17 pages if the C35 thread). My intent is to just set up a dedicated rifle for thermal to take out some predators around my place.
I already have a Pulsar Helion XP 50 as a scanner.

Just looking for some real world experiences from those that have one.

Tomorrow is the last day to take advantage of Steiner’s mail in rebate which would put the total cost down to about $2300.00, that’s pretty cheap. If I was going to be a heavy user I’d certainly look at something better. If the S35 is a good as the C35 is claimed to be I’d think it would be a winner.

It’s pretty darn good

You want get anything close in quality for under $5k.

You can find other stuff in the same price range and with a 640 core, used and likely broken. I have the C35's but the major difference is really that one has a crosshair in the display.
