This scope is one of the top of the line scopes you will ever find. This bad boy is not even on steiner website yet. This guy is a 2.9 to 20 times magnification. It has the 56 milimeter objective lens which allows more light to come through. It is a 34MM tube and that means it allows more light to come through to your eye. Steiner is along the top tier of optics. They have extreme quality and the glass is extremely clear. This optic is fantastic for close range to long precison. It is very comparable to Schmidt And Bender, US Optic, and others. The Steiner, having high-end optics, is of a different class and it snaps nicely into focus with a clear image you can rely on with easy negation of parallax error. Illumination control is on the very end, slightly smaller in diameter so not in the way and also featuring good grip from the machined knurling. This optic includes the Tremor 3 reticle which is extremely sought after. Extremely accurate, and will hold a zero no problem.
