Learn More On the heels of the impressive T6Xi release last year, Steiner is bringing a lot of the same design and quality to the hunters of the world! The new H6Xi series of scopes have some impressive features and is a big step forward for Steiner in the hunting world.Built with the DNA of their military and law-enforcement scopes, the new H6Xi scopes offer similar durability while cutting a ton of weight and adding much-needed hunting features. And yet, they still retain their FFP and high-quality glass.“The H6Xi series is comprised of three models, covering those who count ounces on the trail to those looking for enhanced magnification. The first focal plane 6x optical system is offered in 2-12x42mm, 3-16x50mm, and 5-30x50mm zoom ranges, and sets new benchmarks and expectations in what German-inspired, American-made hunting scopes should be.” “A low-profile elevation turret is sized to reduce the snag-and-bump potential common to hunting scopes with tall target-style turrets. Easy-to-read numbers, tactile detents with audible clicks, and a zero click stop let hunters make confident and precise adjustments even in low light conditions. A capped windage knob ensures piece of mind when trudging through brush or bumping against rocks.”Steiner H6Xi 2-12x42mm SpecificationsMagnification: 2-12x Objective Lens Diameter (mm): 42 Tube Diameter (mm): 30 Field of View (ft. @ 100 yds.): 55-8.5 Field of View (ft. @ 100 m.): 48.5-9 Eye Relief (in./mm): 3.85-3.5 / 98-89.6 Exit Pupils (mm) HIGH/LOW: 9.8 – 3.8 Diopter Setting: +2 to -3 Focal Plane: first Reticle: Steiner MHR Illumination: rotary dial Battery: CR2032 Weight (w/o caps) (oz./G): 23.2 oz. / 650 g Length (in./mm): 11.8 in.
