Excellent clear scope, nice finish lenses are clear and not too heavy for a ar-15 type rifle, compact in length mounted mine in a larue tactical mount 30 mmAnd has been a great combo, bought scope from optics planet after calling them and getting there best price policy couldn't resist. It's defiantly worth the small amount difference in price compared to other quality scope manufactures for the quality and clarity you get with this scope. You will not be disappointed Cons: didn't come with throw lever which honestly is needed with this scope it is very hard to turn for magnification. Also out to 300 yards scope does fine on targets but I have bad vision and could have used a 1-6 scope instead of the 1-4 power. But don't let that make you buy a cheaper 1-6 scope cause outside a vortex razor there isn't anything under 1500 dollars that I have seen to be this clear.

I wanted a 1-4 optic for my patrol rifle started with an accupower and the illumination was not daylight bright and the back wash at night was so bright it was dangerous for low light work. The Steiner P4Xi has neither of these problems and it's evident that Steiner made this for operational use.

What a great scope. I received the scope yesterday. I have waited over a year to purchase a scope for my AR-15. A guy I follow on Instagram had just ordered this. I had never heard of it. After my research, I concluded this is the scope to have. The optic quality is above top notch. The red dot range is perfect. The included throw lever is a very nice bonus. The perfect size and optic range. Great German optics. I hope to shoot it this weekend. Keep up the great job Steiner on quality, American Made products.

Mounted and sighted in last week on my daily carry patrol rifle. Excellent sight. Per Steiner recommendation, I used the extra high TSeries Rings. It co-witnessed with the stock front sight, yet doesn't interfere with using the optic.

I purchased my P4xi with my Eotech refund money, and I couldn't be happier. The reticle is awesome in 1x for cqb and with an ability to give you 4x zoom it's the best of both worlds.

This optic is superb. It is amazing that they are selling this scope for the price that they are. The glass for this optic was confirmed to be of the same quality as their 1-5 which is far more than double the price!! Im almost afraid to put that in the review with the thought that they will realize that and double the price. The clarity of the glass is unrivaled by any glass I've looked through and keeps that clarity all the way out to 4 magnification. The dot is crisp and draws the eye and does not have any ghosting. The crosshair is simple yet extremely useful although I do wish it had windage marks. The included throw lever also seems to be of very high quality and is easy to install. As others have said the only real cons are the "mushiness" of the dials. Its not a big enough deal for me to think about it but I do wish they had made them a little more positive. Overall an amazing deal and I will be buying at least one more while these scopes stay at this price and are readily available. You WONT be disappointed with your purchase.

You can spend more, but you won't get more. This scope has glass clarity that you would normally pay at least twice the msrp for. The reticle is simple and precise. Illumination is visible even in bright sunlight. Build quality is battle grade. 1x is as fast as a red dot. This scope is an awesome do-all rifle optic. Buy one!

I had just purchased a new AR 15 and was interested in installing a scope on it! I done some research and was pretty much confident that I would be purchasing a Vortex Viper! That is until I talk to one of the knowledgeable salesmen at my local gun store. He pulled out a Steiner P4Xi and showed me the difference in the quality and clarity of the optics of the Steiner! I was blown away! So..... I ended up with the Steiner P4Xi mounted on my AR 15 and I'm very happy with my choice!

I bought this scope around a month ago to use in service rifle matches. I was a little concerned since I read most people set the elevation and windage then cover the turrets and forget them. Due to the nature of service rifle matches the turrets have to be turned often and need to be reliable. I had a malfunction 5 rounds in to the first string of fire and attempted to clear it everyway I knew. This consisted of slamming the buttstock on the ground and finally using the heel of my boot to attempt to break the round loose from the chamber. During all this the scope was kicked and banged multiple times. I finally got the round out of the chamber and finished the string of fire. I continued to shoot using my normal settings for the various yard lines. After all the beating and banging that happened to clear the round from the chamber at the beginning the only thing that had changed was 2 clicks of windage. The elevation stayed true at every yard line. This could be attributed to the low cost scope mount I am using but either way I was extremely impressed with the toughness of this scope. Even the guy on the line that was scoring me couldn't believe it wasn't off more than that. I missed the free cantilever mount by one day when I bought the scope but it is well worth the money I paid for it. Time will tell if the turrets stay true after being turned so much. As for the match I managed to place within the top twenty out of over a hundred competitors. Not bad for having been out of the sport for over 5 years. Thank you for such a great product, as clear as the glass is you may want to consider getting in to the service rifle scope market.

Was trying to decide between a Trijicon MRO, or a Vortex Strike Eagle when I came across this scope. I already own a Aimpoint Patrol on my other AR. This will be my new go to site.

This scope at the price point has all the features I was looking for in an AR-15 type scope, clear glass, red dot illumination is good, huge eye box at 1x. Nothing bad to say about it. I like it so much I bought 2 of them!

This optic has been good to me so far. I've taken it out to the range 3 times and it's held up to my usage. The glass quality is superb. It is not a true 1x scope, but it's pretty close. The illuminated red dot really sets it apart from others. A throw lever is a must-have because the dial is pretty stuff to adjust. Also, a lot of people mention that the turrets are a little bit mushy, while this is true, the scope is a set it and forget it type. Zero the optic and place the covers on the turrets, then you'll never feel the mushy turrets ever again. I would give this optic a 4/5 stars, only because i've had it for a short time. I really do enjoy this optic, and I'm glad I went with Steiner.

I bought this for my AR (BCM upper PSA lower). The eye box is a little tweeky but the focus is crisp. And the dot is sharp and easy to pick up. If you're thinking about this optic I think it is perfect for your truck or home gun. I just waiting to see if it stands up to time.

Installed this on my patrol rifle and leveled it, at 50 yards out of the box it was dead on, the lighted reticle works great.

Great optic. Can only compare to Vortex Strike Eagle, and Trijicon ACOG..With that being said. PRO:The glass is clear. the red dot is daylight bright even in the Arizona sun. The reticle itself is simple, clean and easy to use. The build quality of the scope is amazing, especially considered its price.CON:Newish scope that lacks detailed documentation ( What size power ring is the optic, so you can purchase a throw lever?)The 1x isnt a true 1x, its slightly larger. Still very workable and quick, better than other 1-x scopes I have used in the past.

Very impressive. Bright, clear glass. Very clean and distinct etched reticle. The red dot is vey crisp and perfectly centered. It is daylight bright on some of the lower settings even in sun. 1X seems truly 1X with no distortion or anything.Very rugged, zeroing took only a few clicks each way. Compared back to back to. trijicon TR24 the glass is equal if not better. Much prefer the red dot to the green triangle. No negatives at all. Very impressive and for the price I don't think you can get much nicer.

Mounted on an ar15 chambered in 450 bushmaster. I handled a leupold mk ar mod 1 and a vortex 1-4 all side by side and this scope was the clear winner. The eye box was way larger and glass much more clear and crisp the free set of rings also helps

I'm very satisfied with all the features. The Steiner P4Xi is optically clean, with extremely bright and crisp resolution. The ample internal adjustment easily corrected some otherwise difficult mounting issues. The etched glass reticle is flawless and well defined. The illuminated dot is the perfect size, with eleven brightness settings allowing the perfect illumination level for any lighting condition. I like the lower settings in daylight, giving just enough illumination without aberration. The low profile capped turrets are nice, the scope adjustments stay put. The compact overall size is a plus as is the lifetime warranty. This scope is made in the USA and item #5202 comes with a free "throw lever", a very useful upgrade. Factoring in the modest price tag this scope is simply amazing.

I ordered a PX4 as a Fathers Day gift for myself and so I could get one with the free Steiner mount and magnification throw lever. I ordered on line from an approved vendor. The scope came in, it had a small scratch in front of the powder adjustment ring and for some reason I had trouble getting the reticle focused. The scratch wasn't so bad that I actually thought about keeping the scope anyway, but the reticle issued bothered me, so I contacted the vendor, they sent out another scope right away and sent me the 100% free return label for the first scope. The second scope actually came in on the same day as I got the return label via email, so I had the ability to compare the two scopes.The second one had no blemishes, but the dot on the second seemed to work better (it made me realize that the dot on the first one, even though it was definitely daylight visible, wasn't nearly as bright on the highest of settings in comparison to #2). One major problem with scope #2 though was that the bottom leg of the vertical reticle line was "bent" (See picture). Yes, it was actually curved to the left, all the way up into the ranging cross-hash marks. The retailer was amazed when I told the rep this problem and they were willing to send me another, but instead, since the LED was much brighter on this one, I decided to just go through Steiner warranty service and get this one fixed so I could apply for my free mount while #2 was in the shop. Steiner sent me another return label no questions asked and off it went, free of charge.BTW, the optical quality of the glass on both of the first 2 scopes was excellent and I own many other fairly expensive pieces of glass to compare it to (Leupold Mk4-M1, Nightforce, a couple Vortex PST's, and a Meopta). The problem was essentially with the P4X reticle alone.Anyway, Steiner had a brand new scope in my possession within a week or two. This one was cosmetically flawless, the reticle was perfect and focused nice and sharp, the glass' optical quality was "Steiner excellent" like the other 2 and even the red dot was nice and bright like scope #2 was. SWEET!About a week ago, I got my free mount too. Nice mount! Well machined and I love the built in bubble level. This level would be especially handy for a 7.62mm version of an AR; for 5.56mm, due to the much shorter effective range of that round, it's probably overkill, but still nice! Last night I finally got a chance to mount the scope on my AR....Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh....! The mount is not high enough so that the eyepiece bell can clear my rear backup sight (Magpul MBUS)!!! Kinda disappointing after all of the above process... BUT, the eye relief on the scope might be long enough so that I can move the MBUS way back on the receiver rail and put the scope/eyepiece far enough forward to still get a good sight picture.. It was late last night so I didn't get a chance to play with it to see if this will work just yet...Even though the above "problems" sound like I should really be knocking this scope down, since I knew I'd be waiting for the free mount to arrive anyway, and since all the returns, etc... didn't cost me more than a few minutes of my time, I WOULD still recommend the Steiner P4X scope. Optical quality is excellent. I love the simplicity of the reticle compared to say a Vortex Strike Eagle. The LED dot inside the P4X is AWESOMELY SMALL (and bright!) so that even at 300+ yards, the dot will not obscure a lot of even a small sized target With the true 1X level of non-magnification, the P4X offers an even better field of view than the many Aimpoints I own (PRO's, Comp M2 & M4's). Even the Trijicon MRO can barely compare in this field of view comparison, AND, the P4X will dial up to an adequate 4X magnification when the targeting parameters and distance calls for it.Just MAKE THE MOUNT 1/4" TO 3/8" HIGHER GUYS SO MY MBUS WILL FIT UNDERNEATH THE EYEPIECE!!!;-)
