Easy installation on the Generation 2 MPX. Fits perfectly and still provides a compact system. Provides great stability. Performs and looks like it was from the Sig factory. Good price from Optics Planet with their usual fast shipping.

I bought this for an upcoming elk hunt here in Utah on the recommendation of a friend. I already have a tripod from The Outdoorsman, which is a very high quality product, but is a bit slow to set up since you have to manually extend and lock each leg. My Outdoorsman Tripod is also more compact and easier to carry. This Trigger Stick is definitely quicker, but it is bigger, heavier, requires more space (both on my pack and on the ground), and does not have the same quality feel (although it is $$$ less expensive). I've had it to the range practicing with it several times. I find it works best for me when I am seated and have my pack in my lap to support the butt of the rifle. I get good hits with it out to 200 yards. I also like the fact they include an optics mount at no additional charge.

I had been thinking about buying a Glcok MOS and ordering an RMR to go with it for some time. I've had a red dot Eotech on a rifle for several years. I finally bit the bullet two months ago and got the RMR and installed it on my new G19 MOS. I could not get the dot to properly cowitness with the Trijicon tall Iron sights I had order no matter what I did. I sent the RMR back and Optics Planet replaced it without a whimper. I received a second RMR and installed it and on this one the dot drifted off zero after I shot a few times; way off zero. I sent the second RMR back. I got a third RMR and this one finally zeroed correctly and the dot does not drift. Many thanks to Optics Planet for standing behind what they sell.
I think this will end up being a good pistol to shoot, but you do have to get used to bringing the gun up and acquiring the dot through a rather small window. You have to practice this because it is not natural. It remains to be seen how reliable it will be.

I own two other Vortex scopes and two Nightforce, so this is my third Vortex. I purchased this for my new muzzleloader and although I love Nightforce, I did not want to spend that much money to put a scope on a muzzleloader that I won't shoot too often. That said, the quality on this scope is excellent. The only negative I can say is that Vortex's implementation of the zero stop function is not as convenient to set or as accurate (i.e., does not stop precisely on zero) as those of Nightforce.
