Steiner 3-18×50 H6Xi Riflescope (MHR Reticle)

Description

During freezing dawn PRS match stages the Steiner 3-18×50 H6Xi Riflescope balances lightweight mountain carry with long-range optical precision. Configured with a 30mm tube, 1/4 MOA clicks, and 75 MOA elevation travel, this optic incorporates the illuminated MHR reticle. First focal plane subtensions remain true across all zoom steps, though the crosshair appears fine at 3x zoom.

Milled from single-piece 6061-T6 structural aluminum, the compact 30mm monotube prevents flex under heavy recoil cycles. Fully multi-coated German glass lenses provide high light transmission with edge-to-edge optical resolution. Measuring 13.3 inches and weighing 24.3 ounces, this Steiner hunting scope features nitrogen gas purging that meets rigorous waterproof immersion standards.

Key Features of Steiner 3-18×50 H6Xi

Backcountry hunters buy Steiner 3-18×50 H6Xi riflescope models to shave rifle weight without giving up long-range magnification and first focal plane holds. The capped windage turret prevents zero shifts while packing through thick timber.

• 30mm aircraft aluminum monotube delivers 75 MOA total elevation adjustment
• 3-18x magnification range transitions smoothly from close timber out to distant ridges
• 50mm objective lens generates high optical clarity and maintains generous exit pupils
• 1/4 MOA exposed zero stop elevation turrets provide positive click detents
• 3-18×50 H6Xi MHR illuminated reticle provides calibrated holdover points
• First focal plane etched glass ensures valid measurements across all magnifications
• Side-focus parallax knob dials parallax out from 25 yards to infinity
• Zero stop elevation turret returns to mechanical zero without visual reference

Internal Erector Dynamics

Built with robust dual coil leaf springs, the internal erector cell retains zero repeatability within 1 percent across the 75 MOA elevation range. Designed to withstand 1000G recoil forces, this Steiner H6Xi scope handles continuous .300 PRC strings without reticle movement. The erector cell maintains precise zero settings between -20°F and 140°F, preventing tracking deviations during harsh winter hunts.

Chassis Ring Alignment

With 5.6 inches of ring mounting space, this optic mounts onto lightweight receiver rails without clearance issues. Torque 30mm ring cap screws to 16 in-lbs, and tighten rail cross-bolts to 42 in-lbs. The 3.8-inch eye relief protects shooters against heavy recoil movement, while the 50mm objective bell fits medium mounting rings over sporter barrel contours.

Field Match Dynamics

The magnification ring turns with firm 10 in-lbs torque to maintain set power levels when moving through brush, assisted by an integrated throw lever. This optical unit is not designed for dedicated 1000-yard benchrest matches where 30x+ magnification is required, nor for CQB room clearing.

• Clean objective elements using lens-cleaning pens and canned air every 200 rounds
• Check 30mm ring screw torque using a precision inch-pound driver every 500 rounds
• Clean zero-stop threads and inspect turret rubber O-rings every 12 months
