Steiner H6xi

[comfisherman]

Looks promising, the 2-12 is compact ffp and 23oz with parallax adjustment as well as Greely assembled. They would have to have an abysmal reticle or eye box to whiff on this for me. 3-18 and 5-30 will definitely fill the gap between light weight hunting and prs/tac scopes.

Msrp is high but I'm guessing these street near vx-6 prices.

i was looking at a really good price on T6Xi 3-18 thru expert voice but the H6Xi is significantly lighter. The only thing I'm confused about is that it appears to be non-locking elevation turret (ok I guess with low profile) and not sure if it has zero stop.

I have the Steiner h6xi 3-18 mil/mil version. The windage is capped and easy to access if needed. You get both an exposed and capped version for the elevation turret - you just swap the cap. It does not lock but it is fairly stiff so accidental turning shouldn't happen. The clicks are very precise and it does have a solid zero stop. I like the STR-MIL reticle but that is a personal preference thing. It is FFP and the drops are barely usable starting at 4.5x once you get the eye focus diopter adjustment focused properly. The eye focus adjustment locks down tight. It is easy to use the reticle starting at about 8x. The horizontal bars and lower vertical bar make it pretty easy to aim center dot at 3x but the reticle markings are too small at that point to use for wind or elevation but that isn't really needed. It has illumination for low light situations. The glass quality is great even in low light. It is definitely worth a look.

I picked one up this winter. Very impressed. Better than Tract , Zeiss V4 that I've had. I will keep buying the Steiner until Meopta gets there stuff together.
