New Steiner H6Xi Line

[jreyna]

I think Steiner just made the optic I wish NF would make in a compact 2-12x42 ffp scope. Their 3-18x50 offering also looks appealing.

The reticle reminded me a lot of a reticle by Burris then I realized they have the same parent company. American made here too so I’m curious to try one out.

I like the idea of a simple ffp reticle, capped windage and a quality zero stop on top of good glass.

Good looking scope. I wonder how it tracks.


Also, lack of mil is a miss

I was getting really excited about this just now and then realized it’s MOA. Please make a MIL version!

100% agreed on the MIL version

No mil version is a big miss. If these are anywhere near the quality of the T6xi it would have sold big. The 2-12 with a SCR or SCR2 would have sold huge!

This is along the lines of exactly what I’ve been looking for, until I seen moa.

I've heard Mil based is on the way....

I'll get a 2-12 for sure if they do it.

 

[FOT223]

I know someone who’s seen the sample. I’d watch out for a possible SHOT launch

Specs on this scope look great! Same compact size and weight as the SHV 3-10 but with a better reticle, parralax adjustment and FFP. I emailed to Steiner to see if there are any plans to release a MIL based version. I'll report back if I find out anything of value. Otherwise Shot Show is in just a couple weeks so may be info after that.

Spoiler alert, it’s coming at SHOT!

That’s what I heard as well, looking forward to see what reticle is in it

Mil based simplified tree reticle

 

[jreyna]

This scope in a good mil reticle/turrets may the be only scope that could migrate me away from my Nxs 2.5-10x42.

I would give a hard look at it.

Is this the reticle that will be in the 2-12x42? If so it's probably a no go for me. Looks ok on low mag but way too much going on at full. Was hoping for something much more similar to the sparse reticle in the MOA version.

Not sure I understand this. The MOA is BDC reticle. How would a mil based be a benefit?

Ohh! Didn't realize the other was a BDC. Was just hoping that the MIL version would be a similar sparse lay out. Something with heavier outer bars that would maintain a good cross hair at low power and provide 0.5 MIL hold over and wind subtensions. A simplified hunting version of their SCR would be ideal. Just find the tree style more distracting in a hunting scope but if done well it can work.

If they come out with this in MIL I would be ecstatic. Just came across this today researching for a new optic in the MPVO range for my tikka build and this fit my needs perfectly. Other then it's only offered currently in MOA. Hopefully that changes.

It’s out. They just launched it at SHOT today.
