Craig Cardelucci very true that's why I brought mine although for some reason they were once a 3000$ aud scope and are still being advertised for that here in Aus today, very confusing and would be disappointed if I had purchased one for such a high price

I’m from Melbourne and I just bought one from oreilys. $4.000.Can’t wait to get use to it

mai tai German Military uses mostly S&B for Scopes and has been using Hensoldt or Kaps and is still using them on some G3 ZF's. Binoculars, yes they use Steiner. But actually no Steiner scopes are issued.

The Steiner Military are not made by Burris they are still hand made in Germany unlike the rest of the Steiner line that was bought by Burris very recently, the Military line by Steiner are a whole other ball game and compete easily with any Nightforce or S&B for clarity reliability and most importantly have bulletproof turret tracking, and they most definitely CRUSH any Leupold, Burris, or Bushnell or Vortex.

Burris e Steiner sono di proprietà Beretta italiana

Sia Burris che Steiner sono del gruppo Beretta. Bevi meno!

Jher2006 havnt had the opportunity to look through one sorry, would love to have the access to a range of top end scopes but basically this is just a comparison of two of the scopes I own, judging by the market these days and reports of the amount of professional shooters using kahles over Steiner and many other brands I still think this video accurately shows kahles for how good they are and there excellent build quality, I have looked through a few kahles hunting scopes at the local gun store and they are amazing absolutely the best scopes I have handled, even better then my Swarovski hunting scope at a comparable price

The SHV F1 uses the exact same lenses and coatings as the old NXS 3.5-15 F1. Very good for the money and more than serviceable, but it may lack in contrast and light transmission compared to newer optics, certainly anything from Kahles. Of course apparent FoV is also less. That said, Kahles scopes in general seem to exhibit more chromatic abberation than scopes in the same price range, so if you have Kahles money, it's worthwhile to look at competitors.

what price are you buying steiner for ? and what model may i ask ?

$1100-$1200. Either the same model you had in the video or the one that is otherwise identical but with the 50mm objective. Do you have a recommendation for me? Thanks

are you able to look through one at your local shop before purchasing ? ..look the Steiner is a fantastic scope at the price range for 1200$ i really don't think you'll find a better (tactical) first focal plane scope, there just isn't any other big manufactures making euro glass scopes with 34mm tubes and tac turrets, for that price and is a great sale! however ...just two weeks after i purchased my Steiner euro optic put the kahles 3-12x50 on sale 1600$ from 2400$! if i had of known that was going to happen id have waited to purchase the kahles myself.. do not underestimate filed of view in rifle scopes ..a larger filed of view can make for a seemingly much brighter picture, can be easier to stay on target to watch rounds impact and also seem easier to get the eye behind.. my kahles is a better scope in every way but i also paid 3k ...if i was you i would consider the kahles 3-12x50 from euro optic being the little brother of the k624i i think it would be worth the extra 500$ if it takes anything at all from it such as turret feel and it field of view hope this helps and doesn't confuse either way 1200$ for the steiner or 1600$ for the kahles thats still a lot of scope for the price and both are priced over 2000$ normally precisionrifle.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/rifle-scope-field-of-view.png www.eurooptic.com/kahles-k-3-12x50-msr-ccw-tactical-1-mil-turrets-10545.aspx

also the MSR is a much nicer reticle also the GB2 on the Steiner is a bit thick for my liking ..cheers

Shanezkool I'm building an AR in 6.5 Grendel, I originally wanted a 4-16x optic, but after seeing videos on these scopes I'm thinking a 3-12x should be sufficient. Where are you finding the Steiner 3-12x56 for $1200, best I could find is $1,300 on Euro Optic and various sites. For only $300 difference the Kahles sure is tempting, but if I'm not mistaken the Steiner comes with scope covers and a sunshade included. That's probably another $100 worth of merchandise. Too damn many options for optics....

Yes

the very center is illuminated haven't had to use it but its handy to have

K525i blows both away.

@@mapled3135 that’s a lie! Please don’t spread misinformation

@@ertatta the k525 is a much better package. Better mechanism, lighter, better glass. In fact I had an M7XI which I got at a very discounted price and I sold it and got a ZP5. The CA on the Steiner was ridiculously noticeable way worst than my K525 which has some.

These scopes are comparable by price at the time both around the $3000 dollar mark in Aus and objective size both 56mm ..scopes are compared at the same magnification in video and build quality of the scope is comparable no matter the magnification ..kahles is much better build and value for money unless you grab the Steiner on sale as I did ..I would not pay full retail for that Steiner scope, that is how I have compared these two

Steiner should be 6-24x56 as Kahles model. Then the comparison is 100% honest. In your test steiner is on top limit of magnification but kahles only in middle. It is not honestly.

I am sorry they are two completely different riflescope. I live in Europe and I have parents living in Germany near the factory of the optics. Yuo are comparing different riflescope of the levels and features. The Steiner ranger 3-12x56 costs 900 Euro www.brignoliarmi.com/11568/saldi-caccia-steiner--ottiche-steiner-serie-ranger-offerte.html; while the Kahles k624i costs 2500 Euro www.ermesport.it/cannocchiali-kahles.html. And then again you can not compare optics with different focal excursions, if you want a serious and truthful comparison you have to compare two identical optical 3-12x56 or two identical 6-24x56 in the same price range. See you

The Steiner military 3-12x56 34mm isn't 900 euro's not even close more like $2200, the scope is about $3100 MSRP American. you cant compare a Ranger to a Military, i am sorry you are just dead wrong

Gooseworks Labs this is a Steiner military scope not a ranger
