Post subject: | Steiner P4xi 1-4x24 scope |
I had a Truglo 1-6x24 scope that I got in September for $162 that ran fine for me and was a pretty good value for money but after looking through the Trijicon Accupoint 1-4 at Westcoast Armory I realized that I needed better glass clarity and no zoom or fisheye effect at 1x. I started to research for better, more high quality scopes but knew I didn't want to spend more than $600. I was going to try to wait for a discount code from Optics Planet to possibly get the Trijicon Accupower 1-4 or Vortex Viper PST 1-4 when I ran across a thread on AR15.com regarding the Steiner PX4i 1-4x24: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_18/69819 ... ml&page=10 From what others have said on the above linked thread the Steiner has equal or better glass than the Accupower with a no fish eye effect 1x that's close to a true 1x and a daylight visible illuminated reticle. In addition it is built in the US with a lifetime warranty. I had never heard of Steiner before but based on reviews and price ($459 with throw lever included) I decided to order it. I'm still waiting for it to arrive but once it does and I get it mounted and zeroed, I'll post up photos and in-person impressions. Here are the features listed on the Steiner site: http://www.steiner-optics.com/riflescopes/p4xi-1-4x24
for increase strength and reliability. 4X ZOOM provides maximum range at the high end and true eyes-open situational awareness at low magnification. CONSISTENT EYE RELIEF and a generous eye box throughout the magnification range. LOW PROFILE TURRETS / ILLUMINATION CONTROLS are less likely to hang up or snag during movement. ILLUMINATED RETICLE with 5 day/4 low Light/2 NV levels. An “Off” position between all 11 settings completely disconnects the battery at each off position to prevent battery drain. WATERPROOF/FOGPROOF/SHOCKPROOF durable construction you can trust to stand up to any cold or wet conditions. |

Sounds promising, I'm looking forward to your review. And hence, I'm moved this to Reviews. |

I got it zeroed on my AR yesterday and had a chance to shoot with it a bit. My impressions: Pros:
Cons:
Overall I'm very happy with the Steiner P4Xi 1-4! Yes the Trijicon Accupoint 1-4, and Accupower 1-4 (which is supposed to be have similar glass and features except for illumination and reticle) does have better turrets and a more forgiving eye box but neither have daylight visible illumination. They also cost at least $300-$500 more than the Steiner. For me the Steiner is hard to beat. It is miles better than the Truglo 1-6 that I had before and the build quality and glass clarity rival the Trijicon offerings. I don't think there is any other low variable power scope in the price range that even comes close to the Steiner in terms of features. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality, made in USA 1-4x24 scope under $500. Photos: (Please note that in the photos it looks like there is blurring on the edges of the glass but this not the case when looking through the scope in person.) |
