Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

Can anyone verify the FOV numbers? Steiner lists them as:
Field of View at 100 meters: 55' - 8.5'
But it's odd to list the width in feet with the distance in meters, so was this supposed to be at 100 yards and not 100 meters because if it actually is meters then converting to yards would yield FOV numbers of 50.3' at 2x and 7.8' at 12x which would be a pretty narrow 17.9° FOV??? But even at 8.5' we only improve to 19.5° which is still pretty narrow especially when the T6Xi series offers 24° FOV. Curious why Steiner would have neutered the FOV in the H6Xi series so much when T6Xi seems pretty forgiving?

@Birddog6424 can you help shed any light on the FOV numbers for the H6Xi 2-12x42, is FOV really only 8.5' at 100 meters @ 12x or is it 8.5' at 100 yards? The Steiner T6Xi 2.5-15x50 offers 8.5' at 100 yards at 15x, why would they reduce FOV so much in the H6Xi vs. the T6Xi?

Yeh, those number don't seem right.

I'll reach out and see if I can't clear it up..

For the optical system Steiner uses, it should be right around 9.2ft at 100 yards on 12x. That makes for an apparent FOV of right around 21degrees. Once I get my hands on it, I'll measure what it is exactly, but these numbers should be in the ballpark.

My guy in Greeley is pretty sure that's a typo. He didn't have to correct figures off the top of his head, but he said there shouldn't be much deviation from T6Xi figures.

I think Ilya's numbers on FOV are going to be closer to accurate.

Thank you Bird, I was hoping that might be the case, sure would be nice if we had official numbers. I am looking forward to the new Mil/Mil H6Xi so hopefully they can bring that to market soon...
