    Steiner H6xi

    I agree 100% with needing it in broad daylight. “Daytime bright” isn’t really necessary. Where I can see using it is hunting in the timber. I live and hunt in the Pacific Northwest. I don’t know if you have ever done that or not, but it can get very thick and very dark. It is possible to find...

    Steiner H6xi

    I haven’t had it “out” in the woods yet. But from my deck I can look into the timber, which I did the other night until almost dark. I think the reticle is totally useable. Being FFP I was worried about it disappearing but really it works quite well. The center with the hash marks is almost...

    Steiner H6xi

    Don’t know which Leupold you’re referring to but my experience so far has been the exact opposite. I have a Leupold VX5HD, the scope this Steiner will replace, and the H6xi blows it out of the water in every category. Except weight. It is heavier but the turrets are much more crisp, tactile and...

    Steiner H6xi

    I haven’t handled anything Trijicon so I won’t be of much help there. A lot of people recommend them and say they are very durable optics. I hope this Steiner will be also but it is to soon to tell.

    Steiner H6xi

    So I couldn’t resist and I had to order one. Got the H6xi 3-18x50. MHR reticle, which is MOA. That wasn’t a deal breaker for me. I have to say I’m pretty impressed. This is my first Steiner so I wasn’t sure what to expect but fit and finish is good, everything turns smooth, clicks are firm and...

    Kinda looks like the MIL based stuff could still be a minute

    I did, thank you. Steiner seems to build a quality scope. Have you got to handle any of these new H6xi’s yet?

    Steiner H6xi

    That would be nice, I prefer green to red. I saw that review. Steiner seems to hold its own with some of the best.

    Steiner H6xi

    Is it both red and green illumination? Or one or the other? I haven’t seen anything mentioned about the color of the H6xi so I was just assuming red illumination.

    Steiner H6xi

    I saw the illumination thing somewhere else also. That could be a deal breaker for me. I’ve only ever hunted with SFP scopes so this being FFP, I’m worried it will be to hard to see the reticle in dark timber without illumination. I imagine if it’s dark enough though, it might be bright enough...

    Steiner H6xi

    I know these haven’t really been out long enough for there to be much info on them yet or any real reviews but I’m interested in one as it seems to check alot of boxes for me as a do it all hunting scope. So what I’m interested in is how does Steiner typically stack up against the other big...

    Thompson Center Dimension

    Ya I've heard about that, that has to do with the safeties, the gun could possibly still fire with the safety on or something. It shouldn't have anything to do with my issue but I guess it is possible. My only concern with that is not getting the rifle back in time for hunting season, I've...

    Thompson Center Dimension

    Got a new Dimension in 7mm08, I know its not a long range caliber or sniper rifle by any means, but I need some advice. When I first got it the bolt was incredibly stiff, not the action but just cocking it. Once you got it cocked it was nice and smooth but it just about took two guys and a mule...

    Been on here a few times in the past looking for some information and now I have a few questions of my own. Look forward to getting some good advice.
