    Rifle Scopes Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56

    Thanks for taking the time to put this comparison together. It has helped me make up my mind ?

    Rifle Scopes Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56

    Keen to hear your thoughts once you've had more time comparing the Steiner and Minox?

    I've run a 6br using the CDI bottom metal and the MDT ACC chassis. Using the PVA mag inserts in the 10rd AICS mags the feeding is perfect. Interestingly, I can run the AICS 5rd without modification - they feed 100% of the time.

    Liberty optics? Where did they go?

    Also occurred to me that all your feedback on the Steiner is probably best suited to the dedicated M7Xi thread, I'm sure I'm not thr only one interested in your perspective

    Liberty optics? Where did they go?

    That's an excellent overview of the turrets, thanks! Interested in the glass & eye-box comparison when you've got time ?

    Amazing image, but I can't let you have all the creative Tikka fun :) - a few I messed with on Google Photo.

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25x56 & Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56

    Hey Bill. I didn't sell it, I was sponsored by March for a while and shot it in 4 matches. I returned the scope when I decided I'd prefer not to be a "jersey shooter". I was extremely impressed with the March 5-40, it's highly underrated.

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25x56 & Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56

    Roger that, that was my assumption. I'd happily give up 7x on the top end to gain 3x on the bottom end of the mag range and the extra FOV the Steiner provides. That said I totally understand the appeal of the 7-35 for certain applications. I used March 5-40 for a while which did open my eyes to...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25x56 & Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56

    Thanks for the input, I was under the impression that the M7Xi has significantly better glass than the M5, a believe a poster in this thread compared them. Anyone else have a M5 and M7Xi they can compare? After import taxes etc I can basically get a NF 7-35 for the same price as the M7Xi/Minox...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25x56 & Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56

    Circling back to this, thanks for the offer. In this class of optic my order of priorities are: Tracking & general reliability (I don't expect you'll be able to test this on short notice ;)) Turrets & controls (I can put up with anything except slack/mushy turrets that don't perfectly align...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25x56 & Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56

    Thanks for the input, "unpopular" opinions are extremely useful if they help us understand things more clearly. I've yet to do much digging but at first glance the feedback on the ZP5's I've come across has been extremely positive. Would you mind referring me to more of the criticisms you're...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25x56 & Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56

    Thanks for that explanation, Josh. I've got 15mil turrets on my S&B ultra short, so I'm well aquatinted with short spacing between clicks. Given my use for this rifle is crossover comp/hunting I'm leaning towards the Steiner at this point (For size/weight/reticle reasons). But I'm definitely...

    Thanks. What have you compared it to? Cheers, BP

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25x56 & Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56

    Josh, I'm interested in the turrets on the ZP5. I already know I like the MR4 reticle, and by all accounts the glass is top tier. The only things I see pop up in regards to issues with the Minox are turret related complaints. How are the Turrets on yours? Likewise @jwknutson17, you've had a...

    Excellent, thanks. There's no way for me to get hands on with these scopes before making a purchasing decision, so any side by side you can provide is appreciated. BP

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25x56 & Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56

    These X vs X threads are usually annoying but regardless I'm interested in an overview from someone who has both of these scopes. I have a backorder on a Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56 MSR2 II and have the option to switch to a Minox ZP5 5-25 MR4 reticle - price is essentially a wash (I'm based in...

    Good info in this thread. I caved and now have one inbound. Looks a decent bit of kit.

    I think it's a very well thought out design. Mine does have some issues though, you can scroll down to post #196 here to read my mini-review: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/mdt-acc-chassis.6908492/page-4#post-7601655
