Steiner, world leader in optics for military and law enforcement, introduces T5Xi precision riflescopes specifically designed for tactical and competitive shooting.
The new T5Xi series features the patented Steiner Never-Lost turret with second rotation indication, which shows each mil of elevation through the indication window on the elevation turret. After the first revolution of 120 clicks, the mil numbers on the scale change automatically, preventing the shooter from getting lost on the dial. In addition, the T5Xi's new SCR (Special Competition Reticle), is a clutter-free, precision reticle for extreme long-range shooting. For CQB and 3-gun scenarios, a new, daylight bright 3TR reticle features an easy-to-locate center dot and stadia lines to engage targets out to 600 meters. Calibrated in both 5.56 NATO and 7.62 NATO, every T5Xi is built with the Steiner quality, performance and reliability standards the United States military has trusted for decades.
"During development we brought in top competitive shooters and tactical instructors to find out what they needed to be more successful," says Tom Frane, VP of Sales, Marketing and Business Development. "Shooters and instructors were involved all the way from design to production. The T5Xi is the direct result of their input and refinement."
The Steiner T5Xi line includes three models, each designed for a specific shooting situation: compact 1-5x24 mm, mid-range 3-15x50 mm and long-range 5-25x56 mm.
More details can be found on the Steiner-Optics.com website.
The 1-5x24 mm offers true, 1X low-end magnification for both-eyes-open shooting and situational awareness on a 3-gun course or the battlefield. Equipped with the new 3TR reticle, it's ideal for precision competition shooting and easily handles close- to mid-range targets. The overall length makes it an excellent choice for patrol rifles and carbines.
The 3-15x50 mm and 5-25x56 mm are the perfect match for long-range precision competitive shooters. The versatility of the 5-times zoom makes it easy to range targets at 25X, and the wide field of view at 5X allows for quick target acquisition without tunneling. The SCR etched glass reticle is located in the first focal plane. It features an extended illumination area, 2/10-mil windage hold-off lines, 1/2-mil holdover lines, and 1/10-mil ranging brackets for precise distance ranging. These two models also feature the Never-Lost turret and low-profile knobs for windage, elevation and parallax adjustment.
T5Xi Features:
- One-piece, oversized 30 mm and 34 mm tubes for strength and greater elevation and windage adjustment.
- 5X zoom range for versatility on the range or battlefield.
