Steiner T6xi 1-6

[WS6]

Do you know what the hash marks represent?

I believe big are mil, smaller are half mil. Anything else would be absurd.

[Wow]

The steiner 1-6 or Vortex Razor E 1-6 MRAD?

The steiner is lighter, but not by much.

The vortex has a SFP reticle which I prefer on LVPOs.

Which has the flatter image and better glass?

I have the Steiner T6Xi 1-6x24mm KC-1. I finally got out to shoot this.

So far here are my thoughts:
1. It is light for a 1-6 (Kahles K16i light)
2. The glass is as clear, better then my Steiner P4Xi 1-4
3. The controls knobs and turrets have a much better "click:" then the P4Xi (seems to be made better)
4. The FFP recital is awesome
5. I say it is almost as bright as my Vortex Gen 2 E Razor 1-6
6. It is much brighter then my Kahles K16i
7. The throw lever and flip up caps that come from the factory are great
8. It comes with two different elevation Turrets
9. The eye box is better then the Kahles K16i or the Steiner P4Xi ( I also think that the eye relief is more then they publish)

My overall first impressions are that it is now my favorite go to scope for my 12.5 AR.

I took mine out and ran it really good after I zeroed it. My thoughts after shooting it:

1. Not as bright as the Vortex Gen 2 E 1-6, but very close. Absolutely daytime visible.
2. The Eye box is very forgiving on 1X. I felt that it was also easier to get behind then the Vortex Gen 2 E 1-6 on 6X.
3. The FFP recital is great.
4. I like the ghost ring and dot on 1X. It is very fast to use.
5. The recital on 6X is nice. I did not take it out past 100 Yards, but I can see how it will be user friendly.


The only down side is that it is made in a socialist place....... not China.... Colorado....

Now the obligatory pictures...........




Recital on 6X:







Feel free to ask any questions.

Do you have any 1x pics? How large is the big ring relative to a target at 25 yards?

Still recommend?

The Steiner has better glass when I do a side by side with them,.

I do not have any pics on 1x. I will see if I can get one.

It is still my favorite scope. It is on my go to rifle.

Does this help?

Does this help?

Where do you hold for 400?

[littlejerry]

Kind of, just curious how large that ring is in practice. Torso width at 25 yards? Larger?

[WS6]

This optic seems like a flop in the court of public opinion. Docsherm is the only one I've found across multiple forums who is posting positive reviews of it. Here is a 1x photo that I found on a sunny day...

The big circle is comically large on 1x.

[littlejerry]

Hard to tell from pics, but that's my concern. Giant circle, thin stadia. Can you easily make precise hits on 1x?

Just eyeballing it based on the Steiner image it looks like ~62mil diameter or 213 MOA. An 18" wide target at 25 yards is only 72 MOA. At 50 yards it's only 36MOA

Seems like even large targets are floating inside of that circle.
