Trijicon mark iii 35mm thermal optic - Trijicon Electro Optics IR HUNTER MK3 Thermal 35mm Weapon Sight w/8x E-Zoom

To all those looking into taking the plunge into thermal optics, look no further!! This is a game changer. I personally spent close to 18months researching different optics that would best fit my style of use for this type of optic. The clarity of picture, weight, battery life, and ease of use was all outstanding and exactly what I expected. I did use those 18months to save coin (this optic is on the higher side of cost, but definitely worth it) in order to purchase this particular sight. If one is not needing the Stadiametric range finder, than simply purchase the MKII version (MKII is about $1k cheaper). Trijicon warranty seems to be a good selling point as well. This optic is very durable, not flimsy, and stable. People have claimed the battery life is low on this unit, but I believe Trijicon is selling them now with the battery compartment upgrade already on the unit (at least mine was already on when purchased thru OP) with a 7.5hr run time with 3 CR123A batteries.
