Excellent scope for the price - Steiner T5Xi 5-25x56mm Rifle Scope 34mm Tube First Focal Plane

For starters, I got this scope on sale from Optics Planet. In terms of bang for the buck, this scope can't be beat. I spent a good bit of time looking thru scopes before making this purchase. In terms of clarity, I've been told that Kahles and Swarovski have the best glass. I was unable to see where those scopes had better clarity. I also checked out Nightforce, Schmidt&Bender, Leupold, US Optics, Vortex, and even Sig Sauer. This scope is VERY good. It's illuminated and it has a 5x magnification range. It's also a 1st focal plane scope. The glass is super clear and viewing is easy on the eye (I feel like I could spend all day behind this thing). At half the price of those other high end scopes, this scope can't be beat. Even at its MSRP, this scope is worth the money.
