Steiner 5119 T6Xi 3-18x56mm 34mm Tube FFP Illuminated SCR2 MIL Reticle Rifle Scope with Throw Lever - Black

The Steiner T6Xi 3-18x56mm is a first focal plane rifle scope built for shooters who demand precision across a wide range of distances and conditions. With a 6x zoom range, 34mm tube, and SCR2 MIL reticle, this is a capable optic for competitive shooters, hunters working varied terrain, and marksmen pushing distance. Steiner's U.S.A. manufacturing and rugged construction mean you're getting a scope designed to hold zero and perform when it matters.

The T6Xi's low-profile turrets incorporate a second rotation indicator system so you always know where you are in your adjustment range—no more guessing after a full revolution on windage or elevation. The Never-Lost design keeps things consistent in the field, while the resettable zero elevation knob lets you dial in your preferred base and return to it reliably. A throw lever comes standard for rapid magnification changes, even with gloves on, and the locking diopter ring prevents the reticle from drifting out of focus once you've set it for your eye.

This scope is sealed tight: nitrogen-filled, submersible to 33 feet, and rated fogproof and shockproof across temperatures from -13°F to +145°F. The illuminated reticle offers four night levels and seven day levels, dialed in via a rotary control. Side focus parallax adjustment (50 yards to infinity) keeps your image sharp throughout the zoom range, and the SCR2 MIL reticle is calibrated in 0.1 mrad clicks for precision holdovers and wind calls. At 13.6 inches and 34.4 ounces, it's a serious optic without being overbearing on most modern rifles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between FFP and second focal plane, and why does this scope use FFP?

In first focal plane (FFP) scopes, the reticle sits in front of the magnifying lens, so it scales in size as you zoom. That means your reticle markings—the MIL hash marks on the SCR2—remain accurate for holdovers and wind calls at any magnification. This is especially useful for precision shooting, hunting at variable distances, or competitive work where you might dial different power settings depending on range or lighting.

Can I use the SCR2 MIL reticle for holdovers without dialing my turrets?

Yes. The SCR2 MIL reticle is calibrated in MIL units, so you can use the hash marks to estimate bullet drop and wind drift without adjusting your turrets. Exactly how well that works depends on your rifle's ballistics and distance to target—a ballistics calculator or drop chart for your specific load is always recommended for precision work.

Will this scope work with gloves in cold weather?

The throw lever that comes standard on this scope is designed for magnification changes even with gloves on. The illuminated reticle also helps in low light. The scope's operating range extends down to −13°F, and nitrogen filling prevents fogging in temperature swings.

How do I know when I've completed a full rotation on the elevation or windage turret?

The T6Xi's second rotation indicator system shows you where you are in your adjustment range after a full revolution. This prevents accidentally over-turning and losing track of your zero.
