T6Xi 3-18x56 is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 14.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome scope all around I am overall pretty impressed with it. The glass clarity is great, reticle illumination works well, It's not exactly the brightest at 3x but gets much brighter as you increase magnification, the tree itself looks great and is super functional without limiting visibility, comes with 2 throw levers, the locking turrets are awesome, turret adjustments are crisp and satisfying, and the parallax adjustments seems pretty on point. I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite eye box but it’s definitely not a complaint. I have a slightly harder time getting as good of a picture at 18x but it’s not a problem though. Would recommend to a beginner or expert.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is my third Steiner purchase and all I can say is wow. I have found Steiner products to be extremely well built with thoughtful design features. The MSR2 reticle is outstanding and I was really excited to see an American made scope with this reticle pattern. I have been extremely pleased with the t series scopes that have excellent glass that exceed all my needs as a hunter and recreational shooter. In my mind these products are a nexus between high quality and value hitting performance above its price point. The scope resolution is outstanding with clear glass, perfect illumination of only the aiming center reticle and tracking test was flawless.Great job Steiner USA.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very solid glass, it's not as good as my ZCO, but it's also a fraction of the cost. As long as you're perfectly centered the chromatic aberration control is EXCELLENT. Especially for the cost. Almost no perceptible CA, again while perfectly centered, it is a little finicky on maximum magnification but that's normal. While it's not ZCO level, nothing about this scope will hold you back. And it doesn't hurt the wallet anywhere near as hard as the ZCO. Steiner's policy only lets you get one scope a year... Definitely going to grab another, probably the 5-30 next year 😁 My only gripe is the locking mechanism, would rather just have a push/pull method of locking. Definitely better than no locking turrets though. Well done Steiner, knocked it out the park with this one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing T6XI 3-18 is amazing with its edge to edge clarity and a total feature set that leaves nothing to be desired. Great magnification range for all hunting applications.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from T6Xi Coming from a PA GLX, there is no comparison. Glass is absolutely crystal clear with no weird tinting. The optic itself is on the heavy side, but for the price and clarity, it’s absolutely worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great optic! Glass is superb, lower height turrets are great. Tracking has been spot on! I have the 3-18x56 and it is the perfect size on my .308. Extremely happy with this purchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One of the best scopes I have used. Very clear, hair thin reticle lets you focus on the target instead of covering some of it up

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent glass close to an Atacr. Turrets leave a little to be desired.

I now own a T6Xi 3-18x56 scope and it sits atop a DLD 308, and would really love if there was some written or video guidance on how to zero it. I get the concept of getting rounds on paper, but not understanding how to reset to zero after all adjustments.

Asked by: Gem62ini
Thanks for picking up the T6! Once you have all of your adjustments made and you have zeroed the rifle, you can then reset the turret to zero. To do that loosen the two set screws on the elevation turret and turn your turret (the clicks will be gone) until it lines up with zero. Once finished with that, be sure to apply downward pressure to the turret and then tighten the two set screws back up. They only need to be finger tight. This will give you your clicks back, and your zero stop is now set and you're ready to dial to your desired distance.
