I was hunting grey goose on an island of the norwegian coast. Here the weather is harsh, salty and the winds are hard on shooting. The weather was very wet and windy. The terrain is very open with high areas and valleys. This makes the goose hard to stalk because they can see you coming from far away. I spotted a herd of geese that I stalked for about three hours. I lost several chances at shooting because of two eagles chasing the herd away from me. I dont know how many times I had to pull back and choose another route so I would not scare of the herd. I had my M5Xi on my back, bumping into threes and rocks as I was jumping over wide trenches and moving through thick brush. When I finally got into shooting position It had become evening and there was less light. Despite this I could still see my prey clear as day about 200 meteres away. This was the closest I could get to the herd. I took the shot which landed perfectly and killed the goose instantly.The herd got scared off but a goose that was 410 meters away was hesitant to fly off. The wind was coming from about 11 o'clock and doing about 3 m/s. I made the necessary adjustments and took the shot which landed perfectly.The herd got so confused that they flew over me and I shot two more geese with my shotgun.I could not have done this without my dependable M5Xi.

This review is for the Steiner Military M5Xi 3-15x50mm. I have to say this is just exceptional build quality and clarity. I have this optic on a Knights SR-25 APC rifle and the thing is a tack driver. The MSR reticle is hands down the top 3 reticles out there. It is simple, yet has all the features you need. I needed a lower power variable optic with enough magnification to reach out and touch. 10 mil turrets, .1 mil adjustments, zero stop, and illuminated reticle were all must haves on the list. I narrowed it down to a very few select optics and went with the M5Xi. I would say that this optic does not disappoint. The eye relief is forgiving, and it is just simple to use. The zero stop is simple to adjust with the allen and the scope tracks very well. Scope mounts nicely in a KAC 19moa mount and I have not run out of adjustment out past 1000 yards. If you are looking for a serious use, clear as can be, bomb proof, 3-15 optic with an insane amount of features including one of the best reticles out there.... you found your optic right here.. The M5Xi. Done and Done.

This scope fills my need for a good long range optic. My criteria is first focal plane, mil/mil and at least 50mm objective. This scope has it all plus illuminated crosshair. When you pick up this scope you can feel the quality. The view is excellent with no blurred edges even at 16X. Just a point: Get rings or a mount with at least 40 moa cant to be able to utilize the most elevation adjustment for those over 1,000 yard shots.

I own a US optics 3.2-17 which is a phenomenal scope but I have to say I think my Steiner 3-15 has better glass.

One of the best days I ever had at a range was with scope mounted on a Remington 700 .308. It was the best rifle mounted with the best scope.

I bought a M5XI at a local gun show for a steal and absolutely love it. Think I'm going to be buying atleast 2 more.

Mounted this on an LWRC IC SPR with a LaRue mount. Sub MOA at 100yrds. Easy sight in, the parallax adjustment gives more than enough to get a great sight picture. Can't wait to hit up the 200 yard range soon. I would recommend this scope. I would also buy another Steiner. I'll give Steiner first look next time I'm looking at optics.

I bought my M5Xi Military 3-15x50 about a year ago. I wanted to put it through the ringer before writing a review so I could be honest about the results and I have to say, Steiner did not disappoint. I shoot out to 1000 Yards with it and it's always dead on. I love the solid clicks on the Elevation and Windage Turrets because they allow me to make adjustments without having to take my eyes off the target. I can feel and hear them. I also love that the 2nd rotation on the Elevation turret is hidden until it's used so I never get lost in the number of rotations. The clarity of the Glass is Top of the Line. The illumination is perfect and adjustable based on lighting conditions, and has off clicks in between each setting so you only need to move it one click once you've found a setting you like. The field of view is amazing. Eye relief is awesome. And the thing is a built to last through the toughest battles. It weighs about 2 lbs. and I'm certain I could remove it, use it as a hammer or mace, re-install it and it'd still work flawlessly. I was looking into USO and S&B but took a chance on this when I heard all of the reviews and I am so glad I went with this one. I love everything about it. FFP, Mil-Mil Adjustments, G2B Mil-Dot Reticle, Easy to Use, 34mm tube! Well worth every penny, and I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a top notch FFP 3-15.

This probably the only scope I will ever own or perhaps in the future get an upgraded one if that is possible. The glass is simply amazing and the clarity of the optics is simply phenomenal. This scope has so many features I have a hard time remembering everything. It has a 34mm tube, 50mm objective, mil-dot reticle and 1/10 adjustments so you do not have to convert MIL's to MOA for adjustments. It is 3x-12x as well as front focal point so I do not have to set it on a set power to use the reticule. It is illuminated and uses a CR2450 battery which is commercially available everywhere which is also nice. The Illuminator is co-located on the parallax adjustment knob so there is no unsightly 4th knob which in my opinion gives the scope a more streamlined look. The whole thing is set up in the most user friendly manner and its intuitive on how to use. If I had a negative thing to say which I don't, would be that it is robust and some might say heavy. It's a trade of for the user who wants a great scope that is not flimsy.
