Steiner 2.5-15x 50mm T6Xi Rifle Scope, 34mm Tube, Illuminated SCR Mil Reticle First Focal Plane, Throw Lever, Black

I throughly enjoy Steiner scopes, and this scope isn’t an exception. Glass is great, I enjoy the reticle, you’re not constantly trying to find a sweet spot on eye relief. There are a few things I’m not a fan of though, one is the weight, this thing is a brick for the magnification. And the illumination, shouldn’t even be a feature if that’s as bright is 10 goes. Also putting the battery in for the illumination was a small nightmare. But overall, a terrific scope.

This scope has been mounted to several rifles including a 6.5 Creedmoor SR-25, and custom bolt actions in .308 and 6.5 CM. The magnification range is ideal for the gas gun/DMR rifle setup; it falls a little short on the precision bolt action for competition usage but is highly usable. The 50mm objective lens results in a highly usable eyebox at all magnification ranges and excellent light transmission at dawn and dusk. The reticle is slightly difficult to pick up visually below about 4x (when illumination is off), but that is the trade-off you make to avoid an excessively thick crosshair at 15x. The turrets lock and track well, I noted no problems or significant error on a standard box test, though the relatively low magnification may conceal small errors if they exist. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this purchase, though if I had one complaint it is the slightly dated reticle compared to some of Steiner's other offerings outside this website.

This is the 3rd Steiner product I've owned, and I continue to be blown away at the quality of these products. The glass clarity is on par with a Mk6, Razor, or Ten Mile. The durability is extraordinary, and the price for Expert Voice members make them the best value scope in my opinion. I have this T6Xi on a "MK12" style build, and have been very happy with its performance. So much so, it led me to buy a H6Xi for my 6.5 Tikka. If you're considering a Steiner scope, pull the trigger. They are some of the greatest value products for professional users.

Glass clarity is unbelievable. Not quite ZCO level, but really freakin close! The reticle illumination is bright green and beautiful. It is a little heavy, however, robust. I would trust it in combat. I paired it with a Scalarworks FUSE and it is epic. I highly recommend!
