Despite that, Steiner built the aluminum housing to be tough, and its reinforced sidewalls should keep it protected from impacts. Also, for being small, it has a good-sized 20x16mm viewing window.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"steiner mps-c 3\" class=\"wp-image-301474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"steiner mps-c 3\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-301474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steiner-mps-c-3.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The MPS-C has a 1.6-MOA red-dot for a reticle, and the sight features 10 manually adjustable daylight brightness settings and 2 night vision settings.
