Steiner H6Xi
The Steiner H6Xi brings the ruggedness of Steiner's tactical T6Xi line to a hunting-focused riflescope, milled from aerospace-grade aluminum and built to survive drops, recoil, and weather that would fog or shift a lesser scope. Available in 2-12x, 3-18x, 3-24x, and 5-30x magnifications with 42mm or 50mm objectives, the H6Xi pairs a first-focal-plane Modern Hunter Reticle with fine parallax adjustment down to 25 yards for hunters and long-range shooters who want one scope that does both jobs well.

What Is the Steiner H6Xi?
The H6Xi is Steiner's hunting-oriented riflescope series, built on the same 30mm aerospace-grade aluminum tube construction as the tactical T6Xi line but tuned with a hunting reticle and lighter overall package for carry in the field.
Magnification Options
The line spans 2-12x, 3-18x, 3-24x, and 5-30x models, letting hunters pick a lower-power scope for close cover and thick brush or a high-magnification option for open-country and long-range shots.
Modern Hunter Reticle
The first-focal-plane Modern Hunter Reticle (MHR) shows simple duplex crosshairs at low magnification for fast target acquisition, then reveals illuminated holdover marks for wind drift and bullet drop as you zoom in for a precise long-range shot.
Build Quality
Every H6Xi tube is waterproof, fog proof, and shockproof, with 92% light transmission and a locking diopter to keep your eye-box setting from drifting between hunts.
Parallax and Focus
Side-focus parallax adjustment down to 25 yards keeps the reticle in focus at close range—useful for hunters who might take anything from a 30-yard woods shot to a 400-yard field shot with the same scope.
Who It's For
The H6Xi suits hunters who want tactical-grade durability without stepping up to a full tactical scope's weight and price, and long-range hunters who want one scope that performs from brush-country ranges out to several hundred yards.
