Steiner M536

[Slater]

Haven't heard much about this particular optic. Anyone with any positive/negative experiences?

Glass is very good, some light reflection off inside of tube, the mount kinda sucks, and I don't know of any after market mount that would fit. I do like the scope though and I got a smoking BlackFriday deal on it. I should have it mounted on a HK SR9 next week. I own two ACOG's, a Leupold LCO, and a couple high end variable scopes I've compared it to. Happy with my purchase; but, the mount needs replacing. I'll post pictures next week.

It is a nicer or 'upgraded' version of the Burris AR536. Same parent company owns both Steiner and Burris. While I have no experience with the Steiner, my 'tier 0' Burris AR332 has worked well for me. Holds zero, decent glass, I like the reticle, hold over dots are accurate with M855.

Browsing several online reviews, it seems like the canted reticle issue pops up more times that you would imagine (with both Steiner and Burris).

The issue is not with the optic, it's with the base. I don't know what base the Steiners can use (might be Acog too?), but the Burris can use a typical Acog base that eliminates the cant. Good optic, crap base.
