Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

Is there a patent that prevents manufacturers from making dual reticle scopes? Because, I think this is what LPVO and MPVO optic buyers want. Give me a crosshair in the second focal plane and a tree reticle in the first focal plane.
My March DFP 1-10 doesn't have the two planes exactly lined up and I've also seen photos of the same thing on other peoples March DFP scopes - so it must be pretty hard to align them perfectly.

But DFP is a solution nontheless, however it's not like the March reticles in these DFP scope are on the fine side.
 
I just mounted up a 2-12 and a 3-18 for testing. Is there anything in particular you all would like to see or get feedback on as I start to evaluate them?

Which reticle do you have in each? Steiner opted for green only illumination in 3-18 T series, is the H series also green or is it red? Does illumination look any brighter in H6Xi at 2x than T6Xi at 3x? Does H6Xi use standard CR2032 battery or did they go with the odd CR2450 battery? Through the scope image at 2x pointed at sky for H6 and at 3x for T6…
 
I saw the reticle in another thread, looks just like scr2. Maybe thicker idk. Steiner doesn't have any subtensions available for it. Watched a video review and guy said the subtensions were pretty much useless 6x and below. But if you're making a shot to hold wind you should have time to bump the magnification up to 9-10x anyways. I just want to see what it looks like at 4-5x. It's form is nice, compact, but a guy may be better off just going with a tenmile 3-18 on a hunting rifle, as the weights basically the same and the long tube makes it very forgiving optically. I think the credo 2-10 & mark4hd 2.5-10 are more against this particular model in form/function.
 
Hey all,

I currently have both an H6 2-12 and an H6 3-18 mounted. These both have the new cleaned up STR-Mil tree reticle. I grabbed some quick photos through the 2-12 this morning. I am headed out for another range trip tonight and will update once I have more experience with them.

It’s red and CR2032 battery, things are already looking up for H series 👍

I'm seeing what looks like a ton of tunneling at 2x. Is this correct or just the camera making it look as such?

Good looking reticle at 12x.

Completely cause by my trying to keep the gun upright, find the eyebox with my iphone and still be able to tap the "take photo" button. There's no noticeable tunneling I can discern under normal use.
