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.
For over 60 years, Steiner Optik, Bayreuth, Germany, has been the largest, dedicated manufacturer of high quality binoculars for commercial markets and for the military/law enforcement markets. Steiner has an extensive worldwide distribution network, servicing customers in over 70 countries.
