At SHOT Show 2024, we caught up with Hal from Steiner Optics to discuss their latest innovation in hunting optics, the H6Xi series. This new line of scopes, an evolution of the acclaimed T6Xi series, is a blend of tactical ruggedness and precise engineering, tailored for hunters.
Steiner’s H6Xi is fully assembled in their Greeley, Colorado facility. From machining to final production inspections, everything is handled in-house, ensuring top-notch American craftsmanship!
The H6Xi stands out with features like a 42mm objective lens, first focal plane Mil reticle, and zero stop turrets that are both tactile and easy to adjust. The series offers various magnifications, including a compact 2-12x42mm model, perfect for hunters seeking a lightweight and agile scope.
One of the most remarkable features of the H6Xi series is its optical core, similar to Steiner’s T-Series, which caters to tactical and law enforcement needs. This crossover into hunting scopes offers hunters high-grade optics in a more compact and lightweight package.
The H6Xi also boasts a side focus feature, favored by many for its ease of use and precision. The series comes in different magnifications and models, like the ultra-compact 2-12x42mm, the 3-16x50mm, and the 5-30x50mm, each designed to cater to diverse hunting styles and needs.

Steiner has priced the H6Xi series competitively, ranging from $1,899 to $2,299, depending on the model and magnification. This pricing reflects the premium quality of an American-made product that encapsulates all of Steiner’s technological advancements.
The series also features a Modern Hunter Reticle, combining quick aiming and precision for different ranges. With a 92% light transmission, hunters can enjoy clear visibility during low-light conditions. The high-density glass ensures unparalleled clarity, and the wide field of view means hunters won’t miss a thing.
Steiner has thoughtfully designed the H6Xi series to be lightweight yet rugged, ensuring it withstands the rigors of hunting. The 6x optical system provides versatility, and the fine parallax adjustment down to 25 yards ensures accuracy. The locking diopter feature allows hunters to customize their viewing experience.
In summary, the H6Xi series by Steiner is a testament to American ingenuity and craftsmanship in the world of hunting optics. Offering a mix of tactical toughness and precision, these scopes are set to redefine hunting experiences. For more information, Steiner encourages interested parties to visit their website.
