I’ve been shopping for an upgrade 1FP Mil Reticle Scope for my Stealth and been eyeing the Vortex Razor HD 5x25, Nightforce ATACR 5x25 and a few other higher end models. Considering the Nightforce and Vortex are both running in the $2600 range It looks like I found a great deal.

I don’t really care about any cosmetic blemishes as I beat the hell out of my stuff anyway on the range.

This would be my first purchase of a higher end German optic. I’d love to hear others experiences with the brand. They have quite a few other Steiner Demo/Blemished models.

My bro has a T series and it is incredible, the M series is supposed to be better, so what is there to think about? I would do it!

I did it. Should be here this week. I’ve got some LR shooting time scheduled in july so I should be able to get good DOPE on steel from 300 to 1000 yds.

I’m going to sell me ATACR on ebay. It seems used ones are going for around $1800-2100 so I don’t feel too bad.

Wow, you didn't like your ATACR. The Glass is nice. What power?

It’s not that I didn’t like it, It’s a great scope. I have a 5x25 Mil Reticle Second Focal Plane. That’s probably the primary reason for the upgrade and that the Natchez price on this optic is a really good deal IMO.

I’m contemplating keeping it and selling my Vortex Viper PST 6x24, which is probably going to fetch about $550 on ebay instead. I really don’t NEED three scopes in this magnification range at this time.

The one thing I totally dislike about the ATACR is that the magnification ring rotates the entire eyepiece. So if you have a flip up cover, it get’s in the way when you are turning it.

you will love the Steiner, the glass is beautiful in the military scopes. I have one of their 1-4x24 military scopes on one of my AR's. I got it on clearance at euro-optics a couple years back for $699.99 and almost wish I would have bought two. the only thing I own that might have slightly better glass is my Meopta Meostars I have a 1-4x24 RD1 k-dot and a 4-16x44 mil-dot

It arrived Wednesday. I’ve got it all mounted up and I’m going to sight it in tomorrow. I compared it side by side to the ATACR on my deck and slightly brighter. However one thing I noticed is the turrets are absolutely smooth and snappy I like them much better than the nightforce.

I really like the 1-4 scopes you have. I would love to upgrade my Vortex Viper 1-4 someday.

yes, the turrets are really nice on my Steiner smooth with nice clicks and track perfectly if needed but I set and forget with the 1-4. unfortunately, the Steiner 1-4's are gone they went to 1-5's that's why they cleared out the 1-4's. and just so you know the meopta meostars are just as nice and the 4-16 will focus down to 10 yards at 4x. I got both of the meoptas off eBay and the warranty is transferable. I paid $400.00 for the 1-4 and $450.00 for the 4-16. the seller was asking $750.00 and it did not sell so when he relisted it I contacted him and asked for a buy it now price and jumped on the $450.00 price. enjoy the Steiner they are awesome scopes.
