The new Steiner T5Xi Rifle Scopes were introduced this past weekend at the Sniper's Hide Cup. The reception was overwhelming and giving the rest of you a chance to see what they are all about is in order.
We spent a great deal of time talking with people such as yourself to find out what you wanted, what you liked, what you don't like to come up with our new scope line. Below is the end result.
My apologies for the impromptu photos. What you are seeing below is the 3x-15x50mm version only. It looks exactly the same only longer.
- Utilizes Steiner's German engineered optical platform
- Steiner precision optics & coatings
- Designed, machined, and assembled in the USA
- Low profile knobs
- Foolproof second rotation indicator
- Positive click engagement
- Light weight (specs to follow shortly)
- Short length on the 3x-15x, 5x-25x is the same length
- Built in adapters for Tenebraex lens covers
- Magnification numbers view-able from behind the scope
- Locking diopter
- Easy set zero stop
- Removable turret cap
- Right and Left easily identifiable on windage
- Hard disconnect off for illumination
- User enable/disable auto-off illumination
- Large illumination area on the reticle
A few specs. I know everyone will want to know length and weight and I will post that information when it becomes available to me. They aren't heavy by any means but I will get you the specs.
- 34mm tube
- Side P/A
- P/A adjustable down to 20 meters on 3x-15x
- 12 mils per roation
- 2 full rotations
- FFP
3x-15x50mm
- Length: 13.1 inches
- Weight: 29.8 oz.
5x-25x56mm
- Length: 16.6 inches
- Weight: 32.9 oz.
In addition to the new scope we also have a new reticle called the SCR (Special Competition Reticle) that was designed through a collaboration of in-house product managers and several of our competition shooters as well as shooters not associated with Steiner. We owe a huge thank you to all of them for their time and hard work.
Rather than go through too much about it I will just post these pictures and answer questions about it as they come up.

Short video to show the new turret system. Notice the tactile clicks
Steiner T5Xi Turret System - YouTube
A bit about the turret system. The entire rotation indicator assembly is located inside of the cap itself and is completely sealed. Nothing gets in there including dirt, moisture, or dust. If for whatever reason you have an issue with the turret you simply replace the entire assembly by loosening the 2 set screws that you would normally use to set the zero stop. Another nice feature is it allows you to change your turret without having to re-zero. If you take it off at the 4.3 mils mark for example then simply replace it at the 4.3 mils mark and you are good to go. Removing the turret is not an issue.
Feel free to post your questions and we will answer them as best we can as quickly as we can.
