That's classic Burris/Steiner. Early adopters get the shaft.
Price real high out the gate
no one buys
Dump price
Slowly raise price or discontinue.
See Burris Thermals, XTR3, M8Xi, M7Xi, P4Xi (Remember when the 1-4 was $400 everywhere)

I just bought one and it was brand new in the box, not even marked refurb/blem like other Steiner products I’ve gotten off the e-store. At $2k it’s a steal!!!

No way is it clearly in there.
No body fucking tell him.

Just curious. I ordered mine Saturday the 3rd, says delivery this Saturday. Didn’t list as a blem, but I’m assuming it is that or a demo.Post #314 from @Default.mp3. Mine should show up tomorrow

I ordered from a different site. Item number is 9522, no b. Can’t say site publicly due to their guidelines, but that should give it away.

I was assuming that, but for the price it falls in line with the other blem sales.
Gotcha, sounds like some of the people who ordered blems are getting new ones. So who knows?
Releasing "blems" and "open box" units is a way to run a sale and not water down the brand. Retailers do it as well to not break MAP rules.
The real takeaway here is Steiner can sell these for $2000 and still turn a profit. Says a lot about markup of Chinese thermals.

For those that missed out on the C35, but just need a sight rather than a clip-on, the S35 is also available for 2k USD as blems: https://store.steiner-optics.com/products/nighthunter-s35?variant=42738370052340
Thanks for the heads up just bought one. Killed a yote last night that had been eating my barn cats with a sightmark wraith, this will be quite the upgrade!
I don’t have an S35 on hand but I may be interested in buying that C35 if you are serious.
18650B is the battery. Charles posted a link to batteries for it on the GetFPV website. The link might be page 5 or 6. I'll hunt for it.

Thanks, I didn't know the answer for the defender caps.
FYSA, my mount was loose when I received my C35. I noticed it was moving around when I got to the range. Probably just a fluke but something that happened to me.

What’s the take on using these? Never ran a clip on, so just asking. Well with the exception of the monoloc I had for a set of 14s long time ago. They had them being used on one of the Steiner videos for mounting. Would be nice to swap it over to a gun or two that doesn’t have a rail.
Hi Everyone - new here, but have been lurking on the hide forever and finally registered so I could join this discussion. I don’t have much experience with thermals, but I know night vision. Most of my experience has been with PVS-14s; my current set up being a pretty awesome WP unit. My experience with thermal is limited to the Leupold Tracker 2 HD. I purchased it for super cheap a while back just to have some fun. I’m now looking for a more serious thermal to mount behind an LPVO. This seems to fit the bill. 2 questions:
-How big of a problem is it that the C35 isn’t collimated? It seems to be pretty consistent from platform to platform based on the posts I read, and I guess it helps the settings can be easily saved
-Does anyone know of / have a good deal on one of these? I saw the 2k blem deal and super bummed I missed out on it. Best I have been able to find since is 3250

Brown shirt just delivered my shtynuh c35 (blem) . I can't find ANY blemish, it seems to be brand new, never issued.
I still think a S35 blem would serve me better as a buddy scope, if anyone has one the would like to swap

Not marked as blem anywhere, including the box.
They pulled the blem option on both the s35 and c35. Congrats to those that placed an order! Looks like they still want to blow out some h35 inventory…
Night Vision - Steiner C35 update $$$
Hey guys, you probably have noticed the volatile nature of the Steiner C35 prices/map etc recently. We decided to calm the seas a bit for them and purchased all (no more blems) of their remaining inventory through first quarter next yr. Not sure on future C35 plans after that but we have special...

update on C35
Because there's an insane markup on thermals. Luckily a dealer bought out their entire stock so now the price will go up. So it will put it more in line with its competition.
Did you read the thread above and apply the discount? With the current Steiner rebate I think DRT is being compensated for holding so many units and we are getting a great deal
I did. People are buying straight from Steiner for $2,000. Now after rebate it's $2450.
It was a smart move by DRT. Unfortunate for Those that missed out on the $2,000 ones
That wasn't going to reoccur after a certain point which was fast approaching. This will be better for more folks and longer term.
Well now that units will be sold out for the foreseeable future, expert voice was selling them for $2k non blems.
These come directly from Steiner, so now they’re not even listed because the inventory was all bought out.
Smart business move by DRT, but I’m throwing you under the bus and letting the cat out of the bag on your profit margin.

Do some calculations on what it costs to purchase 100+ units at even $2k a piece. Takes money to make money (and it is a risk to sit on that much inventory).
Maybe Steiner would have done their $2k sale indefinitely but that’s doubtful as people seemed to be happy paying $3k. In light of that, I think the current situation is favorable for both parties. Without the discount code it’s a little bit of a douche move but with the discount it’s good for everyone

Thanks DRT. Got one and am super psyched. $2,450 isn’t bad with the rebate. I’m okay paying $450 over the “blem” blowout so I don’t have to sit on my phone and refresh a page all day or scour the depths of the internet. A good price given what I have heard about the C35. Can’t wait to test it out
