Steiner Launches New Line of Military Riflescopes
GREELEY, Colo. - As a leading supplier of optics to the military and
armed forces around the world, Steiner has worked closely with Special
Forces and international weapons experts in the development and design
of its new Military Riflescopes.
The new line of Military Riflescope includes five models which will
meet a wide variety of tactical needs and applications. The new models
include: 1x-4x-24mm, 3x-12x-50mm, 3x-12x-56mm, 4x-16x-50mm and
5x-25x-56mm.
From their rugged 34mm tubes and world class Steiner optics to the
specially design G2 Mil Dot reticle, these scopes set a new standard
for Steiner performance, quality and reliability. Three of the scopes
- 3x-12x-50mm, 3x-12x-56mm, and 4 x-16 x-50 mm- will be available in
the first quarter of 2011. These three scopes share the same features
such as 34mm tubes and 19.5 mils of elevation and 5 mils of windage
adjustment, a specially designed illuminated, front focal plane G2 Mil
Dot reticle and side mounted parallax/focus adjustment. Fully
multi-coated optics increase contrast and edge to edge clarity for
maximum visual acuity.
The windage and elevation knobs are designed for precise adjustment.
The dials are calibrated so that 1 click = 0.1 mRAD. The windage knob,
located on the right side of the tube, is calibrated for up to 5 mils
of adjustment for both left and right adjustment. All adjustments are
indicated by detents and audible clicks and hard stops at both ends of
the adjustment range prevent shooters from getting lost on the dial.
For shooting at extreme distances, the elevation knob offers up to
19.5 mils and two revolutions of adjustment. The first revolution or
100 clicks are indicated by white scale on the knob. On the second
revolution (101 to 195), a small elevation Rotation Indicator pops out
at the base of the turret to remind the shooter to use the second
scale indicated by grey numbers on the dial.
Parallax adjustment is located on the left side of the scope, letting
the shooter make adjustments without removing his eye from the scope.
These scopes also feature a large eye box for more comfortable viewing
and faster target recovery after the shot. This turret also houses
rotary illumination switch for the reticle. The switch has 11
intensity levels and a battery saver position in between each level.
There are "Off" positions at the minimum and maximum ranges.
Each level also has a detent to prevent unintended changes during use.
Like all Steiner optics, they are waterproof, fogproof and shockproof.
The new 3X12-50mm with its lower mounting height makes this scope a
good choice for use on police squad rifles or AR-style platforms. The
3x-12x power range is versatile enough for any scenario from close
range to long-range sniping.
The new 3x-12x-56mm features a larger objective lens and exceptional
low-light performance. The wider field of view at 3x magnification is
ideal for urban environments and tactical oversight.
The 4x-16x-50mm is a versatile choice for most tactical operations. At
4x magnification, it provides a wider field of view for quicker target
acquisition, while at 16x power this scope is extremely well- suited
for long-range target engagement.
Later in 2011, the new 5x-25x-56mm Military Scope will come on line.
Designed for use on long range tactical and sniper rifles, it will
extend the practical shooting range beyond 1,500 meters. It will come
with all the features outlined above.
The new 1x-4x-24 Military Scope will be the perfect optic for assault
weapons and CQB engagements. With a true 1x magnification, the user
can easily shoot with both eyes open for better situational awareness.
This scope comes with a ballistic reticle for accurate ranging and
target engagement beyond 600 meters. Windage and elevation knobs
feature a "0" stop and 10 mils per rotation. Click
adjustments are .1 mil. The reticle is also illuminated and unmatched
for reticle visibility.
