Rifle Scopes New Steiner T5Xi Tactical Rifle Scopes
- Thread starter Steiner Optics
- Start date
If you see me hovering around your rifle with a wrench, you might want to slap my hand.
I'm looking forward to seeing one in person.
I wouldn't expect them until late 2015 in Australia but I don't know that for sure. That's just my personal thought.
No pics of the turret just yet.
New coating technology is always coming available and yes this scope will have a different coating from the M5Xi scopes. I will see what I can do for resolution numbers.
This scope will be one hell of a deal. German glass, made here in the USA, and pricing that doesn't make you have to sell a kidney. Will definitely be springing for one when the time comes. Thanks Steiner!
If I have to red loctite everything, it will give me an excuse not to return it!

Let me try to understand this whole thing. Steiner announces a new properly price pointed optic for us with a tentative release date, looks like it will roll out several weeks past the date and a general melt down fecal matter sling fest begins. Steiner Optics (aka Martin) does not post for a time on here, probably because he is busy engineering, all the while sporting a front shirt pencil pocket protector, attending meetings yelling "Auchtung". Steiner Optics is a busy guy like many rifle shooters, who tend to be too busy on the range sending rounds practicing, teaching or competing rather than posting EVERYDAY, we joke between ourselves when we have a conversation/argument on the range...Wait lets pack up go home and argue this out on the interwebs....
Folks Get a grip these optics will be released, I am looking forward to running a few myself. Steiner as well as others have given us precision rifle shooters unprecedented advancements in gear and technology over the past few years, we all benefit in the end.

I don't know, why would the Burris rep be the same guy as the Steiner Rep, which you so plainly stated?
(not that I care, Just sayin')
Dorgan ready for the Precision Rifle Series Finale! (I don't think he's taking the snot rag....)
TWO of the new scopes?!?!

They look awesome. Any chance you can get us some pics looking through them?
I was just getting ready to order some ARC rings. What height do I need with a 20 moa base for a 5-25?

You're not using a Huber Concepts two-stage trigger by chance are you?
I think some are already discontinued like my current 5-25x56 with the msr reticle that has the pop up style turrets but I could be completely wrong. I thought I saw on a vendors site a while back (maybe 6 months ago) but I love that optic. It may be one of the reasons you can pick them up new for a good bit below what they originally sold for.. If so lots of people will still get a fantastic optic even though there is something new coming out which I'll own as well.

Well the turrets that pop up once you get to 12 mils or whatever it is so it can keep counting. Basically you can never get lost in the revs. It's very very rare that I need to go up past 6.5mils but it's still an awesome feature imo

The pin out pops out the front? I have only seen those on the 4x scopes that I don't believe have ever had MSR reticles ....

QD,
Any chance we can get the rough weights for each optic.
Very interested in the 1-5 and the 3-15.

He's referring to the Duo-Scale turret on the German made M5Xi scopes. You know, the one you have on your rifle. LOL
I believe he is referring to the M model where the number dial rises up in the turret. Not sure where the "pop up" is coming from lol
Really guys? Yes we use the same tech support people, and accounting department, and HR department, and janitors, and lunch room. Maybe I should have put "we share nothing as far as products go" in bold.

The sunshade on that scope is from Dorgan's M5Xi which will fit the 5-25s. The 3-15s use a different threading. The T5Xi sunshade is included with the scope and does not look like the one in the picture because it incorporates the Tenebraex adapter.
Also, the throw lever is only a prototype and may or may not be the final version.
Is the turret user serviceable?
If mud or sand gets in the number window, can he user take the knob off, take it apart, and clean it?

The turret cap is sealed so nothing should get in there but if it does then he can easily pull the cap.
I'm pretty sure those were already posted except for maybe the 1-5 based on my prototype weights.
What I have is 19.4 oz, 29.8 oz, and 32.9 oz. I haven't verified those but that's what I have in front of me.
I assume the ~29 is for the 3-15?
Really makes the 5-25 a more attractive package with the small price and weight differences..... Lose 2x on the low end, gain 10x and only 3 oz.
Is there an updated/current reticle for the 1-5?
Thanks again for Dropping in here and awsnering these questions QD and Steiner!

Yes, maybe you should have.
Because when you say, in one post "we have nothing to do with each other", then in another post you say "Except for tech support reps (an important fact), accounting and HR" (quotes are for separation, not direct quotes) you may just possibly cause confusion or distrust.
Matters not to me.
I can't afford one right now, but when I can, your 3-15 is being seriously considered as it is just about perfect for my intended uses.
Can you enlighten us on the minimum parallax distance?
I do get a kick out of the folks crying about the delay.
Kudos to your staff for recognizing something that needs to be addressed and doing so before the launch.
Funny how many of those same folks gave Vortex a pass for pushing back their release for almost a year on the PST line.
Well then that was one me. I assumed that you would see that I stated "as far as products go" and didn't think that part would be overlooked. It was and I'll own the blame for that.
Awesome! Have one on backorder... I wonder if it will have the new coatings. Ah well... whether it does or not, the optics are still phenomenal.
Nice to see Steiner making Vortex's Razor II rollout look smooth...this thread and marketing campaign was not good. Some info, no info, miss info, relying on sponsored shooter to support a product that was still in development. Maybe the 'new low' price point is due to lack of marketing employees. Look forward to a real product debut and rollout. This comes across amateur and new company, not a top tier, experienced optics company. Trying to give constructive feedback, not toss stones...I'm a Steiner customer. This thread is almost 6 months old...
Sorry left out solution to the complaints: start a new thread with a rollout, professional pics, stats, price, and updates. This thread is a turd.

I'll take it you're not familiar with the roll out of the NF Beast and SB 3-20?
Quickdraw, I look forward to those shots. Thanks dude!
Posts like yours are why its rare to get a company rep involved at all. Some people will bitch about anything. You've proved that. Even with frequent updates and responses people still walk into the thread after six months and start stirring the pot. Thanks for your contribution to the discussion.
I don't think your post is constructive. Take for example Apple who just released their iphone 6, do you realize that they had 0 marketing for that phone and specs on it were officially revealed only about 2 weeks before launch yet it's the most successful piece of technology launched in history? Everything was rumor and insider information getting leaked as far as details were concerned. Steiner has just implemented the same marketing strategy; it's a more common strategy than you think. A company giving details on a product it won't release for a long time only helps competitors and frustrates customers when changes are needed. If they say a September launch six months prior, come in in September and say almost guaranteed October launch for a better product than they had dreamed up 6 months ago, it's hard to complain that much. It could be much worse.

Easy solution... Steiner can hire some people whose sole purpose is to answer the complain questions of whiners and increase their prices by 30%... then maybe the rollouts will be better... oh wait... S&B 3-20... Beast... Vortex Viper... we can go on and on and on.
Again... CHEAP, QUALITY, FAST.... choose TWO... you can't have all 3 in this universe.
Yea...but I wouldn't rely on others failures and missteps to define success but would rather learn from their mistakes. We're awesome because we screwed it up less is not success, just saying. Start a new thread on the 'new rollout' with professional pics, true info, price, ano release. This thread turned into a turd.
Good God.....the firearms industry is filled with some of the most self important, entitlement mentality cry baby customers I have ever seen.
You'd think 16 year old girls were buying this shit.

Yes I'm familiar with CQF...didn't ask for the scope yesterday this is a INFORMATIONAL thread with the rollout of a new product. Just do it right rather than 'others do it this way'.
BTW...not crapping on the product, but to point out the problem with the rollout of said product. I like Steiner products as much as the next guy but things will not change unless there is feedback. Please start a new thread...
Re-Read the thread I woul be embarrassed if I was in Steiner management, started off with good intentions, but turned out not so good. Not stirring the pot...

Yea miss-information. I have been following this thread from the beginning, I'm still surprised it is still going. Frequent updates from Quicdraw to standby is not info. Y'all sound really defensive...relax, it's just a scope, what else is the internet for other than information. I'm looking in the mirror...and like what I see, not sure what that had to do with Steiner.
