Steiner PX4i

[turnburglar]

I like my Steiner A lot.

Like others have said the PST G2 is in the same price range. I don't think either optic is a bad choice. The Steiner is tighter and has better clarity. The PST has a little more mag and slightly better eye box.

At 300 meters, I can tell that 6x is a big difference versus 4x. YMMV.

For my use, a LPVO isn't to take precision shots at 300 yards as much as its for good target identification and a precision shot at 50 yards. 4X is sufficient in this application. This leads to the balance of magnification vs weight of the optic and other accessories on the carbine. I want the rifle as light as is possible without sacrificing reliability and ruggedness.

At 300 yards, I can certainly see a 6' person sized target with a 4X optic to make take a shot if necessary.

At what distances are you guys zeroing at? I have mine zeroed at 200 yds. as recommended. I was reading that for a 14.5” barrel using xm193 it lines up better at 100yds.

Right, even at 300x, my hit rate goes up a lot on a 10" flasher at 6x vs 4x.

I should hope so. 300x is serious magnification lol (I know what you mean!).

100 yards and use StrelokPro to see what the BDC has marks actually mean.

200 with 68gr and use Strelok. Lines up pretty good to 500. Edit: I actually z the hash right below the dot at 300, which puts my dot at 200, I hope that makes sense.

200y with 62gr Fusion MSR from a 14.5" barrel in an LT 1.93 mount. Almost dead nuts on the intended BDC out to 400y, confirmed on paper.

Using Strelok, supposedly the bottom 2 subtensions are 497y and 597y, respectively. That's pretty damn close for the intended purpose, especially because I have never shot at someone that was exactly 350/400/500 meters away. It was almost always some wonky shit like 133/271/etc. and the BDC will get you damn close.
