M7Xi IFS 4-28x56

Intelligent Firing Solution

Hover to Zoom

Intelligent Firing Solution with integrated customizable display provides all the important information in real time to the operator.

Steiner sets the new standard for sniper riflescopes by entering the digital world. Based on the outstanding success of the M5Xi - used today by Special Forces around the globe - Steiner sets a new benchmark with the ultimate long-range riflescope M7Xi IFS 4-28x56 with a 7x zoom and an impressive field of view (1.42-9 m at 100 m).

The Intelligent Firing Solution with integrated customizable display always provides all the important information in real time to the operator. The built in Ballistic Calculator and Sensor Suite determines the bullet point of impact in real time (temperature, air pressure, inclination, wind drift). Just turn the turrets until the distance and wind correction in the display matches the information provided by the spotter and you will be on target.

The display provides information about leveling and the current turret setting. Display and user interface can be customized to user needs. All information can be arranged, or deactivated as needed via smartphone app (Bluetooth connection).

M7Xi IFS 4-28x56 is rated 3.0 out of 5 by 6.
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not so intelligent IFS! From the hardware perspective, the M7Xi IFS it's an excellent scope commensurate to Steiner's military line standards. The problem surfaces when you factor in the IFS functionality. The idea of the smart scope is to embed the ballistics calculator function into the scope itself, so that you can enter your cartridge information, and with data from embedded sensors, the scope calculates the ballistics solution and tells you how to adjust your elevation and windage knobs to be on target, based on your distance from it. In a perfect world, the ballistics model would perfectly account for all the physics involved, and you would have accurate ballistics coefficients (BCs) to enter for your bullets, so that the calculated solution would match actual impact points. Real life being different, practically every decent ballistics calculator out there includes a trajectory "truing" function where you can either correct the muzzle velocity, or the BC, based on actual vs. predicted impact points. Steiner's IFS does not include that functionality!!! The Steiner IFS App, and its successor, the Steiner Connect APP, only provide for setting units, adjusting the display elements of the HUD within the scope, and for entering cartridge information. There is no provision to correct the ballistics solution based on actual impact data. At this point you may ask yourself, why not use another calculator to find the correction and feed it to the IFS? First, that sort of defeats the purpose of having the IFS/App in the first place; second, since we don’t know the specific ballistics model used in the IFS, any other calculator may produce slightly different results. Iterating thru several BCs (for example) to find your adjustment, can get quite expensive with today’s ammo prices... It’s not practical at all! The scope has had a few firmware updates since I’ve gotten it, but the Phone APP has not been updated with any calculator/trajectory truing functions to upload/correct the built-in calculations. I’ve been a fan of Steiner products for a while, and have other scopes and binos from them. This scope (with IFS) does not lives up to the Steiner reputation… Far from it! The IFS gives the impression of being a “beta” release rather than a fully thought out production model. At this point, from my perspective, the M7Xi IFS appears as just an overpriced regular scope with a very expensive “fifth wheel” of programming, as its so called “smarts” are of no practical use until the App is fixed. The M7Xi has lots of potential, but it’s not fully realized due to a poor SW and user interface.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from IFS The Steiner IFS is not for everyone. Like any computer, the info you get out is only as good as what you put in. With accurate inputs the scope works amazing. (Start with the updated 2.53 firmware, get a good zero on the rifle, check your muzzle velocity, get the correct BC for the projectile, shoot one batch of ammo, input data into iPad or phone and sync to scope. I have tested from a 22LR to a 338 Lapua and it’s been almost perfect. You dial until the distance on the display matches the actual distance you are shooting to and you are set. Wind is a variable that will never be mastered, but the scope allows you to input a wind direction and speed. (or use zero wind and guess) the elevation component is going to be really accurate. There is an option to add the Kestrel or the 1535 NM binoculars to the system... Hopefully the price will come down over time, so is it worth the extra 8 oz to the scope and the price depends on the customer and their needs. PS. The actual scope functions normally without the IFS and is one of the best in the world. Some of the best light transmission and anti reflective coatings. You can see the the animals in the shade under trees as you look into a setting sun. (Try that with any other brand of scope.) One con besides the added weight is the IFS eats batteries, so bring extra and expect to change them often. Hope this helps.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from 7k!!!! For A NOT Smart Scope Please explain how a $1500.00 Burris Eliminator has a built in laser range finder out to 1000yards along with BC adjustment all within the scope and STEINER DOES NOT? Steiner cost $7000.00 more!!!! Please explain how im supposed to have a range finder, wind speed reader, phone with app, and rifle in my hands all at once while targeting moving deer or game? Does Steiner expect the Deer or Wild Boar to stand still while I fumble with all the useless tech in my hands? I guess I can ask Mr. Deer or Mr. Boar to stand still for me?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Intelligent Firing Solution and World Class Optics I have to two M7Xi iFS 4-28 x 56 scopes with the TREMOR3 reticle. One is mounted in an ERATAC adjustable scope mount and attached to a 50 BMG system. The second is mounted in a SPUHR and attached to a 338LM system. I have used both systems in ELR training and shooting for almost a year now. After my initial outstanding experience with the 50 BMG, I bought the second scope for the 338 LM. I can compare the optical quality directly to European and US top end scopes which I own and use. The optical clarity ranks at the top of the group, period. Edge to edge sharpness and contrast are also at the top, consistent with the pinnacle tier of military scopes. The IFS function has a moderate learning curve, and does take some time to understand all the details - but it is very thorough. The connection applications are not as well documented as I would like, but can be learned very quickly. Some of the functions, such as re-zeroing for traverse are located in the cartridge section - which makes sense once you start to apply offsets for suppressors or different loadings. However, there is no shortcut to ensuring all setup data is accurate and calibrations are performed for the sensors, especially after mounting on a rifle with a canted rail. I have compared the firing solutions to other ballistic solutions and HTI systems - It is FULLY accurate to the ballistic solutions of my other ELR processes. Accurate and precise ballistic solutions require extensive, accurate and verified inputs, again, no shortcuts. I now rely solely on the IFS solution for ELR shooting, along with an external rangefinder and wind measurement. In both scopes, I have the full elevation of 26 - 27 MILS using ~45 MOA of total cant. Once set up, the solutions are very quick to access and execute, much faster than using external ballistic calculator systems. Steiner has brought to market a very unique scope with a very powerful and accurate integrated firing solution. I could not be happier with the scopes. From a military and ELR standpoint, this is really a cutting edge design and implementation. I only wish I had access to the military binoculars to test the bluetooth connection and integration of the laser range finding solution. Very highly recommended.

How far out is the built in range finder accurate to?

Asked by: That one guy
The IFS is not equipped with a rangefinder. The displayed distance is based on the settings of the riflescope.
