So through a world of price machinations, coupons and sales I ended up buying a Steiner M5Xi 5-25x56 with the Steiner's SCR-Mil reticle. It was one of those How much? Really? It was like the cheapest I've ever seen it by a whole bunch. I'm going to put it on a 300 RUM project rifle I'm currently working on. Previous to this my maximum scope outlay was in the $400.00 range...and I thought those were expensive scopes.

So far my review is as follows. I look in one end and I see stuff bigger out the other. It is a heavy thing and does seem very well constructed. I hope jumping the several orders if magnitude is going to be worth it.
