Is this the bronze finish?
How is the ceracoat finish on these rifles?
I saw a YouTube video where a guy commented that the finish it ridiculously bad, is that right?

A few years back, I was suffering from severe cataracts in my right (dominant) eye and was experimenting with solutions to allow hunting that season. I shoot right-handed, and tried a number of different 45-degree mounts on the left side in an effort to find one that would put a red dot in position for me to sight through it with my left eye while shouldering the rifle in my normal right-handed position. None of the mounts I found allowed that. Does your set-up let you hold your rifle normally but sight with your left eye?I'm Left Eye Dom but shoot right all my life. I use the right eye for scopes, so Left is free to see the Holo on that side. I never tried it on the right, seems I'd feel awkward 'pushing' over to see on that side. I might try it tho, got another 45
...and a laser! Don't forget the laser!I see there is still a lot of space on that rail.
You need at least one high powered flashlight, and a powerful horn like this:

Yes, this is the Bronze finish. Seems OK altho I'm Not 'rough' on my firearms. No Dropsies here. The 'ejection port block' keeps that area safe, which was a prob with the 1st-gen Taipans I've read about.
My biggest issue is having to take along 4-5 diff Hex keys 'just in case', on top of for the scopes and the QR for the bipod. A 'Standard Hex size' cut into diff threaded bolts would be nice for the whole industry IMO.
I can use the holo on the side without significant change in hold. I haven't been out to 'test' how much diff 'in the real world', just indoors. I have a reflex with built-in laser
so maybe mount that one instead . . . and a pressure-switch1K-lumen lite . . . I gots another 45* mount waiting for 'something'
