I recently picked one of these up from Eurooptic because they are running a 13% discount and Steiner is giving you 10% back via Visa Giftcard. I must say at the price point I am pretty impressed so far. The only other scope I have owned in this price range was this one's distant cousin the Burris XTRII 5-25x. I can tell you the Burris does not compare and I paid more for it.
There isn't a whole lot of information or reviews available for these as of yet so I just wanted to share my findings. This thing is built like a tank, again, the Burris does not compare. Turrets are extremely stiff and positive, optical clarity and light transmission are phenomenal, and the parallax and illumination are easy to work with.
I typically go for higher magnification scopes in the 20x to 25x range but the eye relief on this is so much more forgiving. In my experience the SCR reticle gets a little fat at higher magnification ranges, especially on the XTRII at 25x. The 16x here is a little noticeable but not as obtrusive.
The impression I have is that this is sort of the American made JV version of the T5Xi. If anyone is looking for a competitor to the XTRII or Vortex Viper PST in the ~$1200 range I think this is a solid contender.
This leads me to my question: Does anyone have or know the exterior dimensions of the T5Xi 5-25x56 at the objective lens and ocular lens? I am hoping to get a set of better-than-Butler Creek flip-up lens caps and have taken an interest in the Aadlands. The P4Xi shares the same objective lens size, tube diameter, and is compatible with various throw levers for the T5Xi in this magnification range. I am hoping the two would be cross compatible but can't find the T5Xi's specs, Steiner hasn't been the most helpful, and Eurooptic hasn't responded to my email yet. If anyone has one that they could throw some calipers on I would be hugely appreciative. Thank you!
