- Thread starter Steiner Optics

So will the Steiner USA made scopes be of equal quality in all aspects as compared to the Steiner German made scopes ?

New Steiner T5Xi Tactical Rifle Scopes
Do you really think Steiner would sully their reputation, in arguably the world's largest tactical scope market, with an inferior product?

Steiner is not some small secondary market player who has decided to play with the big boys and make scopes. They have been doing this for long enough, they know what is at stake here and have invested accordingly. Everyone measures due diligence differently, some people will be keen to wait a while to see how they perform and that's fine too.
as I understand it the 4x zoom scopes are made in the usa and up to this point the 5x zoom scopes were made in Germany.. Perhaps someone who has experience with both types (usa made and german made) would have an opinion
I saw the Rex review of a german made steiner scope and Rex indicated that it was top shelf.... In a shotshow video (about 20 seconds into the video) the steiner rep stated that steiner got back into the rifle scope business about 2 yrs ago after being out of it for about 20 years... but I could have misunderstood the steiner reps remarks... but that is what I think he said

I bet that's a typo and the 3-12 is $2295, they aren't even listing the 4-16... did you actually even bother to look at that page LOL

I thought you were talking bout these
I thought you were talking bout these
no you need to compare model number to model number
in fact at cabelas model 5550 is $3095 and at euro optic it is $3250
cabelas has model 5416 as a 5-25x56 model and euro optic has it as a 4-16x50 model... I think cabelas is totally screwed up on their listings... I give up

Is the shelf delivery date on the T5Xi's still September 2014?
On the last page, this was addressed and the answer was still yes.
Pic of the 5-25? I can't find it.
It looks the same as the 3x15 just 1.2" longer... roughly
There is a pic of the 5-25 earlier in this thread. Also, here ya go:
Hubba Hubba!

That's a photoshopped image.
Why don't they have a friggin' picture of a scope they plan on releasing in a couple of weeks?
They really do exist...
The guys enjoyed getting a peek at it and looking through it, messing with the turret system, etc...

Thank You. Good looking scope.
Could you share the resolution data?

I agree! hahah
Let's be patient and wait for our call!!! Now if it spills over into Oct. or Nov., I think I'll be disappointed, but "it it what it is" and I feel it's definitely worth waiting for! Just using my S&B 5-25X DT with MTC and MSR and March F 3-24X 42mm FML-1 and trying to decide which one it will replace and keep a scope for a spare, if I have issues with one of my regular shooters.
Just heard 1st quarter of next year,
I'm extremely disappointed. My rifle is only a month out I cant wait 3 more to put glass on it.

Where has this info come from?
That would be a mild shock. Where did you hear that?? Please provide a source.
Pure rubbish
Would it seriously be a surprise the way this thread has gone?
Just called europtic thats what they said I dont how solid it is , but there isn't even pricing yet , believe me I hope its misinformation.
Don't spread rumors, give them a chance.

Everything about this scope is a rumor .
when someone says its going to be available 1st week in September thats also a rumor , but no one says not to spread that.
maybe you mean only spread positive rumors. Really im just sparring with you friend, I will be giving them a chance, hopefully sooner than later.
I called my vendor on Friday to place a pre-order and he told me right then he would call them and call me back. I got the same "They don't have a pricing structure yet" and are not taking pre-orders. There was nothing said about release so that I cannot say. They could still be releasing it September.
I am wondering how these will hold up against the Razor HD Gen2?
Well that remains to be seen as they are a bit slow on the release as well. Anyone received their's yet? Gen II Vortex that is.
I don't believe it! Not one post screaming on the 1st, "Where are the scopes???" I'm proud of you guys.
So has the timeline been totally blown or can we expect them soon? I have my first precision rifle inbound and it needs glass. This scope looks awesome, but if it's still months out I'll just buy a Nightforce.
This thread has been so light on info from any direct Steiner sources that I'm not holding my breath that it's anything but a prototype that might never see production. I refuse to get all hot and bothered about something that is not yet real.
I won't have funds for a new high-dollar scope until spring anyway, so it'll be this or the new Vortex. Hopefully by then there will be real-world reviews of the Steiner, or discounts on the Vortex. Patience is a bitch, but thankfully I don't have a choice. ;-)

I'm a very patient person, I placed my pre-order, paid up front and really have only had contact with Scott just a few times since ordering. I knew it may be awhile and I'm fine with that because initially the contact with Steiner was good but in light of the new "allegations" that it may be next year before they arrive, it is completely reasonable for consumers to start questioning where the scopes are at in production and a realistic timeline. Even if the timeline needs to be extended, it will be more well received if Steiner is honest with the consumers. Just my .02
Really don't know what I may do, I can't get that much scope anywhere else for near Steiners original quoted prices.

Its starting to get to be like the end of that move downfall....
Wheres steiner!!! Bring me fegaline!

Are you speculating or do you know something we don't? I think one of this scopes main competitors (and maybe design target looking at the measurements) is the MK6, so I can honestly see it retailing around the $2k mark. But this is all conjecture until something comes from Steiner.
That's not an issue for me, as Hide vendors are good and honest people, I believe..... correction, I know that will be handled properly.
The first post said "These are subject to change but look to be spot on at the moment" and are now saying that they don't have a pricing structure yet. If these scopes perform the way they should they are worth more than the original pricing set. I think everyone would say that but hoping pricing doesn't change. You can call it speculation or just plain common sense.
omg, people, it's the 3rd. I know they are in production and as far as I know nothing has changed in regards to delivery. I also know there are no changes to pricing, stop spreading rumors. There is more drama here than with my 11 year old daughter's friends.

Patience is waiting for something to occur as promised. I put my money down and have contacted nobody about it since. Once September goes by with no communication, I will make contact and ask questions, but not before. And even if it is after, I will not be panicking and freaking out.
I actually laugh at most of these posts, especially the rumor-mongers and panickers. I mean, really people? Go back and read every other thread regarding the release of of new great scope (Beast and Vortex GII being most recent). What is the most common theme?
Two things. It takes time to bring out a good solid new product. And the chicken littles running around screaming "The sky is falling" and creating panic rumors.
It's funny really.
I feel for you if you ordered this scope with a set date that you just HAD to have it, but realize that you should have given it a bit more thought if that was your plan. Or maybe you should have ordered that other scope you had your eye on and is already out.
Yes, I would like to see it on my rifle as much as the next guy, but I'll wait.
Carry on.
Did not mean for my opinion to be construed as rumor. Reading it back it still doesn't sound like I'm spreading rumors. Why would you say that?
There are no pricing changes, period. I try not to respond to every drama comment on these threads, but next it will be "I read on SH there are pricing changes." You ever play telephone? This place is a thousand times worse. There are no pricing changes, I don't even know why you would bring it up. Also, I don't get involved in these BS forum fights, so this is my last comment on the subject.
