Definitely SCR, hopefully options for MSR and Tremor 3 like they do the M series. Normally the T series have SCR MOA and mrad options.
Fuck I'd love a MSR in the 2.5-15 / 3-18 .
Might finally replace the p4xi that I like

I'll reach out and get pricing, timeline, models, and more info.
Does anyone think they'll do a better job of controlling chromatic aberration compared to the T5xi??
It better otherwise Steiner might as well not put the product out with the competition that Vortex is putting out at a similar price point to the T series.
Doubt it. The M7xi is supposed to be the flagship and it looks terrible for a scope that costs that much.
It’s Steiner…are you guys actually excited?
These look pretty cool, turret design almost looks tooless. If there is less CA then the T5XI I think they'll be fine
If it has glass like the XTR Pro, the SCR2 and isn't red anodized I think I found my next scope.
Pics on Instagram is all I found, took me ages to find them as I think Instagram is a streaming pile of shit.
Google dark lord of optics Instagram.
I like the porportions of the middle two scopes, they look nice which we all know is of utmost importance.
It's interesting Steiner went to a 56mm obj with the 3-18.

MSR2 and SCR2 are options, the 1-6 is a KC-1 reticle. MAPs are from $1700 to $2500 depending on reticle and magnification.
I'd like to see what production scopes look like, but the ones they had at the NRA show looked pretty good. If I were to make a guess, I'd say the the 5-30x56 design is related to the XTR Pro in terms of optical system. Very different turrets, of course and there may be other internal differences. They eyepiece had a very similar feel to me, which is a good thing. I fully expect it to be a nice step up from T5Xi. To be fair though, I really liked the 3-15x50 T5Xi and with the T6Xi, I am really itching to try the 2.5-15x50 and 3-18x56 models.

I'd like to know more about the 1-6x model. Hopefully it is better than the older T5x. I really love my P4x 1-4x. It could use some brighter glass on 4x though. Eye box is huge and I love the red dot.
I absolutely hate a turret cap that needs a hex to rezero unless it’s included in one of the caps.
Worse case make it a slot so that you can use a piece of brass or a coin to loosen it.
Yes, it's out.
I thought it a possibility in the Steiner as the Burris XTR Pro offers it.
I keep the allen key in my stock pack. I would prefer it to the nickel slot that always ends up getting bugered, but I also prefer tool less.
They look good will be interesting to see how they compare to their peers and also their M7. Hopefully we see a thorough review in the coming months from Ilya.
They understand the importance of a large exit pupil, and so do I. Not only does it help image brightness at max magnification, it also contributes to make the scope easy to get behind.
I have a Steiner 4-16X56 and would really rather not downgrade to a 50 mm objective.
Locking turrets with MSR2 and a large objective, sounds like a winning recipe if the glass clarity is there.
Tracking and clarity........my poors Steiner (4-16X PX4i) has plenty of both
I'm hoping it causes some 4-16x56 PX4i's to hit the classifieds, I can't find one to save my life. May just have to go with a 3-18x56 T6xi when they come out.
I think the Bushnell LRHS/LRTS, Bushnell DMRII, Athlon Ares BTR, Vortex Viper PSTII, and XTRII are equal to or better than the PX4i. The TX6 should be in another league, the TX5 was.
Sorry I'm a little late to the party. I should try to get onto these things earlier. Here is a config table of the various high mag T6Xi scopes and their associated reticles. Regarding questions related to optical system performance compared to T5Xi, the T6Xi uses a completely different optical system. The 6x zoom system used the the T6 outperforms the old 5x system across the board, especially in chromatic aberration reduction. The 56mm obj system was chosen for the 3-18x to maximize exit pupil diameter and improve low light performance for LEO/TAC applications. This was objectively (no pun intended) based on experience with using both the 50mm and 56mm obj systems on the 6x system. Of course, there is a slight tradeoff with weight between the 50mm and 56mm. Tracking (Click Value, Backlash, Drift, and Shift) is 100% inspected on all T6Xi's on a fixed 100yd target board.
Hit me up with any questions and I'll do my best to answer what I can!

I am interested to hear more about the 1-6x model. I will definitely look at the 3-18 model as well though
