[QUOTE="Damascus, post: 939266, member: 57878"] I just posted a thread here reviewing my new Steiner Military 4-16x50 FFP scope.. I purchased this scope for $1400 from EuroOptics (this scope is $2300 everywhere else, but Steiner has stopped manufacturing the 4-16x and replaced it with the 3-15x, however buying a 4-16x, you still get the same great lifetime warranty and service from Steiner). A couple friends of mine have high end scopes that I can compare with - and I have a Mark 4 6.5-20x50 LR/T (SFP) 30mm and NF NXS 5.5-22x50 SFP scope - but they cannot really be used as a comparison, as the Steiner is in a whole other league above these scopes. One of my friends own a Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50 with MRAD, which I got to compare first hand myself the other day, and another friend owns a S&B PMII 4-16x50, 5-25x, a Swarovski Z6i 3-18x50, and a USO SN3 3.2-17x44, and I haven't got to shoot with him yet to compare. The Razor couldn't compare with the Steiner at all when glass is concerned, however I feel the Razor's turrets were more tactile and felt better. The Steiner's turrets [I]feel[/I] the same between clicks, but they are more audible when turning elevation up than down.. Not sure if this is supposed to be that way, or if its not broken in yet. I have tested the tracking seven ways to sunday, and it tracks flawlessly. I also love the illumination knob being located on the parallax turret rather than sticking up off the eyebell like other scopes... the parallax knob is also very large, making it very easy to [I]feather in[/I] exact adjustments, and has lots of markings, rather than just 25, 50, 100, 600, infinity like some others.. The illumination is also great, with 7 low setting for night vision use, and 7 day settings, which are visible even on sunny days (or at least so far, I've only had it 2 weeks - come mid-summer we'll see just how bright it can stand). If you have any questions or anything, feel free to PM or email me. [/QUOTE]
