Little mini review for anyone considering the Steiner Px4i.....save a little money and buy the Vortex Strike Eagle!
I did a lot research prior to purchasing this optic and the reviews were all favorable......just not sure why.
Let me preface by saying I own several 1-4, 1-6 and even 1-8 power optics. They are my favorite flavor of magnified optics.
So, the Steiner:
Pros:
Glass- Crystal clear from side to side....Leupold clear!
Intensity Dial- Works well and the OFF between each is a nice feature.
Body- Seems very sturdy and has held up to 400+ rounds of 308 Win (AR10) and around 1200 5.56 rounds.
Cons:
Hash marks- They are not well defined...almost unuseable
Red Dot- Advertised as daylight bright.....definitely not, its barely useable in mid morning sun or mid afternoon.
Windage/Elevation Dials- Awful, you really have to watch your marks. There is almost no deliniation when turning.
Overall, its ok, but my Vortex Strike Eagle which cost $200 less is a better optic in my opinion. My Vortex PST, which is in the same price range is FAR better in every way.
Anyway, there is my .02

Re: Steiner PX4i.....mini review
Which is why I have usually stuck with Leupold. I'm not that opinionated on Red Dot optics as of yet, but an older Burris Speed Dot, some cheaper Bushnell and a SPARC I recently just bought all seem to be well made and reliable.Glass- Crystal clear from side to side....Leupold clear
