Steiner T6xi 1-6

[prepare]

Website says at least one of the turrets can be swapped for capped. Can anyone elaborate on this?

The T6Xi comes with a capped windage turret and a 2 elevation turrets, one that is larger and not capped, and one that is the same size as the windage turret that can be capped. Not sure what the idea is behind the larger exposed turret?

Also there is no information about the reticle. None?

On a LPVO, some people want to dial elevation in place of using, or in conjunction with, a graduated reticle. I don’t think many are going to dial wind.

For a tactical 1X6 most just use holds or the reticle. The only dialing I do is on longer range optics.

While I agree, its not unheard of. There are a few LPVOs that have uncapped turrets. I prefer capped and BDC, myself.

Interesting sidenote, some PRS guys have found that dialing drop and holding wind is more precise than holding both and faster than dialing both. I wonder if we’ll see that technique spread to other disciplines.

With FFP 1-10 scopes becoming more common I’m curious if we’ll see a locking elevation and capped windage option on some new scopes. Given time and distance I would prefer to dial any day. Something quick and intuitive like the MK5 or NF Zero Lock turret instead of a pull up to unlock.

My PLx 1-8 has zero stop turrets. I usually use the BDC, but I did dial a bit of elevation in one match because my ammo that day wasn’t matching up. That match doesn’t have much time pressure, and it was only out to 480, but the targets aren’t very tall.

At any rate the T6Xi has capped turrets and also comes with a exposed elevation turret if you want to swap out. Steiner doesn't provide any explanation or reference for the reticle on this particular scope with the KC-1 reticle.

I can check Strelok for you, if you don’t have it.

Edit: How TF did I quote myself?

^^^This with LPVOs and uncapped turrets, I just prefer capped for a LPVO the whole point to me is to help maintain the speed of a red dot while adding more magnification then a magnifier, and thus I don't see utilizing the turrets when the BDC does most of the work anyway (whats the quote from so many instructors "the best is the enemy of good enough") however, I don't live out west or in the mountains where I can see shooting well past 600 yards so I maybe off in my perspective but their are so many classes of scopes that would be better suited to that role over a LPVO in general, and because they probably offer a parallax adjustment, that is where I can see not wanting capped turrets

yes, if you are PLANNING to do much beyond 600, you should stop and think “should I really choose this optic?” From 100 to 500, they’re killer.
