Steiner T6Xi 5-30x56mm Riflescope, 34mm Tube, Illuminated SCR2 MIL Reticle, Throw Lever - Black (5125)

The Steiner T6Xi 5-30x56mm riflescope is built for shooters who demand precision across a full range of distances and shooting conditions. With a 6x zoom ratio spanning 5x to 30x magnification, a 34mm tube, and first focal plane SCR2 MIL reticle, this is a scope engineered for competition, duty use, and serious long-range hunting. The throw lever makes fast magnification adjustments intuitive even with gloves on, and the low-profile locking turrets with second rotation indicator let you dial confidently without guessing whether you're on your first or second rotation of elevation and windage.

Durability and reliability are where the T6Xi really shines. It's waterproof and fogproof, submersible to 33 feet, filled with nitrogen, and built right here in the USA. The locking diopter ring keeps your eyepiece in focus where you set it, and the resettable zero elevation knob means you can establish a baseline and come back to it. Side focus parallax adjustment runs from 50 yards to infinity, so you can dial out parallax at any distance without moving off the gun. Illumination gives you four night and seven day brightness levels for the reticle, powered by a CR2450 battery.

This is a versatile, glass-forward scope built for situations where precision matters: whether you're ringing steel at a competition, working from a range, or hunting at distances that demand serious optics. The specs back it up—28 mils of elevation range and 25 mils of wind correction at 100 meters, with repeatable 1/4 MOA clicks. At 15.75 inches long and 34.4 ounces, it balances capability with manageable weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does first focal plane mean, and why does it matter on the T6Xi?

First focal plane (FFP) means the reticle sits in front of the magnification lens. The upside: your reticle's subtensions stay true at any magnification—if you dial to 10x or 30x, the reticle's mil values remain accurate for holdovers and wind calls. This is why serious long-range shooters prefer FFP scopes, especially on competition and duty rifles where distance varies and precision is non-negotiable.

Can I use this scope on a rifle with a 30mm mounting ring?

No. The T6Xi 5-30x56 has a 34mm tube diameter. You'll need 34mm rings; standard 30mm rings will not fit and will damage the scope tube.

How does the second rotation indicator work?

After you dial your elevation turret through a full rotation, the second rotation indicator tells you you're on your second pass. This prevents the easy mistake of thinking you're dialed in when you're actually one full rotation short—critical when shooting at extreme distances or after a long day at the range.

Does the scope come with covers or a throw lever?

Yes. The T6Xi includes a lens cap and a throw lever for fast magnification changes.
