Honestly the M7Xi is pretty ideal for a gas gun at 32oz. Always got the notion that the glass was underwhelming on the M7 series for the price though.

Not sure I understand why it is "spamming" when a paying supporter of the site posts as he did. I see posts from other supporting commercial suppliers...and those are not spam - are they?Nice job spamming
Thanks..Not sure I understand why it is "spamming" when a paying supporter of the site posts as he did. I see posts from other supporting commercial suppliers...and those are not spam - are they?
I just hate to see individuals bite the hands that feed the site information and products. We are all adults..( well.....mostly anyway...) and there is a lot more to be gained by acting like it. I am grateful that the vendors on this site are free to enter a discussion forum and tell us what they have. Too many times - the things I need are out of stock everywhere.Thanks..
The increased FOV is definitely one advantage to the 3-18. For general target observation and awareness at closer ranges, that’s a big plus. The MSR2 reticle horizontal stadia lines do converge on center enough to effectively bracket a torso or animal sized target at close range.Ignoring the price difference, why would one choose the 3-18 over the 5-30? Is it mainly for the wider FOV at low magnification? How usable is the MSR2 reticle at 3x? Seems like the weight is essentially the same. Will they both look the same at the same magnification (like clarity or FOV)?
Intended use: If I were outfitting a hunting trip, I would not bring a 5-30 scope, but a 3-18 should cover just about any circumstance I would realistically encounter. If I were shooting targets off a bench at 1000 yards, I would not pick a 3-18 over the 5-30.Ignoring the price difference, why would one choose the 3-18 over the 5-30?

I have never shot a T5, but I am really enjoying my T6Xi, and it is better than three other scopes I have used on borrowed precision rifles. I have only a limited experience, though, compared to a lot of folks here.Is the general consensus Steiner hit a home run with this one and all the issues from the T5 have been corrected?
What we’re those three other scopes you used?I have never shot a T5, but I am really enjoying my T6Xi, and it is better than three other scopes I have used on borrowed precision rifles. I have only a limited experience, though, compared to a lot of folks here.
A vortex strike eagle and two other vortexes that I do not remember what they were and do not care to remember now that I have my Steiner.What we’re those three other scopes you used?

Got my 2.5-15x50 today, excited to see how it performs. I like how the turrets lock and unlock. It’s going on a hunting rifle a Tikka T3 with a bartlein barrel chamber in 6.5x55 AI.
I would say not idealSo, that one bolt right in the center of the elevation turret, right there on top. What happens if you use an allen wrench to loosen it, and then you cannot get it tight again?
Um . . . asking for a friend.
So, what happened? Was this a design flaw, something on this particular scope that was broken or user error?So, that one bolt right in the center of the elevation turret, right there on top. What happens if you use an allen wrench to loosen it, and then you cannot get it tight again?

User error.
My, um, ahem, friend, loosened it, and now it won't tighten. It does not seem to affect the function or accuracy of the scope. The lock locks and unlocks, the elevation works. The rifle is just as accurate as it was before. I'll, um, I mean, I will tell my friend to call Steiner and I’m glad
They sent a shipping label. The tech guy was very polite and did not use the words retard or moron.
Haha. You should probably still have a talk with your friend in private using those words though.They sent a shipping label. The tech guy was very polite and did not use the words retard or moron.
Nice. Let us know what you think of it and maybe how it compares to what you have now.My 3-18 is ordered.
For sure. It’ll be a minute just cause i don’t have a mount. Right now optics i have on hand to compare it to are a Gen III 6-36, mk5 3.6-18 and an NXS 3.5-15. AMG is back in Ms. Buddy of mine here has a tangent and some atacrs/NX8s so hopefully we can all get to the range one day.Nice. Let us know what you think of it and maybe how it compares to what you have now.
I'll have my 3-18 msr2 today or tomorrow, I'll let you know.For anybody with the 3-18 MSR2 how is the reticle at 3x? Is the reticle usable at that magnification. I haven’t been able to look through one but looking through the 5-30 at 5x the reticle seems pretty fine.
I'm using this as a hunting scope, no tree needed, so I went msr2 VS scr2. The scr2 is very thin at low power. Had a 3.3-18 xtr3 with it.Is the MSR2 reticle the better choice in the 3-18 scope?
Was that a non illuminated? The illuminated are thicker.I'm using this as a hunting scope, no tree needed, so I went msr2 VS scr2. The scr2 is very thin at low power. Had a 3.3-18 xtr3 with it.
Going on an mws. Grid reticle + semi makes sense to me. If it wasn’t so heavy I’d have got one for my sako 85 to hunt with with the msr. Or if they offered the MSR in the 2.5-15Enlighten me as to why?
Thank you. I’m stuck between the 2 reticles for a 308 bolt rifleGoing on an mws. Grid reticle + semi makes sense to me. If it wasn’t so heavy I’d have got one for my sako 85 to hunt with with the msr. Or if they offered the MSR in the 2.5-15
Get the SCR-2. You can see the reticle with the illumination at low power and at higher power the tree reticle is great for holds. No downside.Thank you. I’m stuck between the 2 reticles for a 308 bolt rifle
Rob always with the winGet the SCR-2. You can see the reticle with the illumination at low power and at higher power the tree reticle is great for holds. No downside.
Just got my 2.5-15 today... can the turrets be realigned on these? My hashmark hits dead in between the hashes on the turret?
Wondering if it can be realigned or if it needs to go back to steiner?
Yep easy fix, not splined. Thanks fellas.Can you align the marks when you loosen the set screws to zero the turret?
