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.
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…
Awful (only in your opinion) is better than nothing.
I'm seeing what looks like a ton of tunneling at 2x. Is this correct or just the camera making it look as such?
I'm thinking the 2-12 H6 could be a perfect fit. 
The M5 was and still is a solid scope with a well deserved reputation.This Steiner looks like it could be the perfect scope for my SPR build. Functional, light, perfect zoom range, functional reticle.
Right now the rifle has a Steiner M5 that I stole from my wife's 6BRA, its a pig on this rifle

I know Steiner flies under the radar here on SH, and their reputation took a bit of a hit with the teething issues of the T series, but I've always been pretty impressed with Steiner. This M5 is an underrated scope. I expect good things from the H6, looking forward to seeing more reviews.
Your wife shoots a 6BRA? Isn't that a bit sexist?This Steiner looks like it could be the perfect scope for my SPR build. Functional, light, perfect zoom range, functional reticle.

Make sure to compare with the Helos 2-12 also.
I just got the MOA version in for a hunting rifle. The reticle is PHENOMENAL down at the low end. Very simple, very visible. At the high end, it has enough information for quick holds at ranges where that would be useful. I won’t be holding at 1k with it.
The illumination is not turned on, see post # 322
I think the extended posts in the Steiner at 2x is a good call. I would imagine it helps bracket quick shots. There looks to be a lot more CA and shallow depth of field on the Steiner. Would you say that’s accurate?
I have the mk4 2-10 and the h6xi 2-12. I’ll take the Steiner in literally every category there is.
That's what I'm using.
Stay safeThat's what I'm using.
Planning on winning the local Tampa Bay comp cause I'm the only one with 90mph DOPE.
I mean it’s a great reticle for shooting birds off of power lines
And I'm more interested in the non illuminated Mk4.
I got the H6XI 2-12 MOA (mil version wasn’t abailable) and NXS 2.5-10x42 mil-R at the same time to pick one.
The MOA version is a much better hunting reticle. I think they tried to both cater to tactical-folk and also save money on the mil version by re-using a reticle with a giant tree. I hope they redo the mil reticle to offer a much smaller tree so the thicker crosshairs can extend and taper closer to the center.
The MOA reticle looks really nice and simple. If they used that same design but did a mil scale out to 5 mils of elevation and 2-3 of windage it would be great.

Looks like another total reticle failure for a “hunting” optic. That is unless the reticle illumination is daylight bright.
