Interested in the 1-6 due to the reticle. Zero feedback/response from Steiner re release dates. Would love any insight. Thx
Rifle Scopes Steiner T6xi release
- Thread starter JLTX
- Start date
I am only looking at the 1-6, which has not been released. Just looking for any insight in re to release date. Steiner has been zero help.
Interesting. We did not order any on our initial order as we had no demand but I'll discuss with my Steiner rep tomorrow.
@JLTX, What are you looking for in an LPVO? We love Steiner, but find that most people opt for other brands based on price. Steiner is a great company and so far, the T6 seems like a much improved T5, maybe like the Mark 5HD was to the Mark 4, or the PST Gen2 to the PST Gen1. Keep in mind that their T series is their mid-grade scope, which still out-performs many other scopes. The M line is the top of the line for Steiner.
The Hebrew Hammer, I would love your thoughts on the reticle and glass quality? Thank you!
longshot2000, I will be using an lpvo on a 16” LMT 556, multi-purpose- defense/leg-stretching. Have ACOG/Red Dots on others, want to try out an lpvo on this one. The reticle on the new Steiner intrigued me, it is between that and a 1-8 ATACR/NX8.

I personally like the reticle as I shoot behind a thermal clip on a lot, and the red ring becomes large enough at max magnification to not obstruct my view of a target for PID. However, I sell Steiner so I am biased. You either like the reticle or not, with glass quality; it isn't the M8Xi but I have not found a scope with a similar price tag that has better glass. I have never owned NF so I can not compare the quality. The T6Xi checks off a lot of boxes that the previous T5Xi line didn't like locking diopter and locking turrets.
