Nice little scope - Steiner P4Xi 1-4x24mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

I put this on my new Windham AR 9mm, and it works really nice. It adds a bit of weight and size, but the speed of acquisition with the 1X makes it worth it. I usually go with a fixed 4X, which I have on most of my rifles since the mid 1970s. My favorite is an extinct Weaver 3X wide angle that I've dispatched over a thousand ground squirrels with, and if I were to use a 9mm on garden munching ground squirrels the Steiner P4Xi would be much better, although way overkill, lol. The red dot really helps my old eyes in dark situations, which is why I bought the Steiner P4Xi for home defense. I had thought about updating my antique Mini-14, but I decided to go new instead, with a lighter round so as not to endanger neighbors with rounds that go through walls easily. The P4Xi is perfect for checking out those bumps in the night with my old dog.
