Quoted: Got an email from Eurooptic today about this. Seems like just the same as the previous gen but for the reticle? Lol seems like they killed what most people liked about the original. Simple illuminated red dot and crosshair/BDC reticle. Oh locking diopter ring on the new one too. This reticle seems very Burris aren't they sister companies or something? https://www.eurooptic.com/Steiner-P4Xi-V2-1x-4x24mm-G1-Riflescope-5204.aspx Arent both owned by Beretta? Edit: Seems like they are So this is a new model and they went with a 1-4? |

Are the P4Xi still relatively competitive at their price point anymore? The price hike seemed to cut down the interest on them from what I've seen over a few forums, and now this new one might not be adding much to help that situation.

Diamond reticles are the absolute worst reticle I’ve ever used. Being etched, they likely gave up daylight brightness for it too. It also looks like no off position between illumination levels. No throw lever. And a locking diopter sounds stupid.
Blah.  ETA: I bet they thought no one wanted the old model because it quit selling, not realizing it was actually their $200 price increase that killed their sales. RIP P4xi. |

Ohhh, a 4x SFP scope with a green BS reticle for $800?
Hahahhaaa, nice try. |

Sub $500 is a great scope for the money. $800 is a no go and that new one will sit until they blow them out.

I do not like that reticle compared to mine. I should have bought a second one when they were under $500. Great optic that has held up well in my ADM mount.

I love the original P4xi even at $600. $800 with that reticle? And green? Hmmmm glad I have a couple of the the old one.

Responses are about as I expected. I had a P4xi bought in when you could find them for $425 on the EE. I do wonder if this might make optics vendors blow out the gen 1s? Good news for everyone then?
 I do wonder if this new reticle is etched seeing as how a lot of the complaints regarding durability of the Gen1 was regarding the wire reticle coming loose. |

Yikes, this is not it. That reticle is terrible and as someone else mentioned, they probably gave up illumination for it. $800 is also insane. I understand that the days of it being $400 are gone, but it won't sell if it's over $600.

According to a thread on snipershide, the illumination is extremely bright. Burris was the only company that I know of able to make a nuclear bright etched reticle under 1k with the old XTR 1-5 so this optic could be a good option for people who prefer daylight bright horseshoe like reticles.

No thanks, I much prefer the reticle on my first gen P4xi.
Also, at the current prices it should be at least a 6x.  I got my P4xi as one of the DSG combos for less than $600 with an ADM Recon mount included. |

Agreed with the comments. I love mine, and even at 600 bucks, it’s still a great scope. But this reticle, green, and price point was a miss. Also getting rid of “off” in between settings was dumb. It’s a little thing, but I like that.

It’s still a diamond. I’ve used them in SWFA and Atibal optics and they suck hard. The SWFA for example was all the rage until they put the diamond in it. Now they’re never mentioned at all and that’s not coincidence. Even nuclear bright, I don’t even want to look through an optic with a diamond reticle. Whoever signed off on this spends more time playing COD than shooting.

Some of the factory data is incorrect.
It's got MRAD dials (a plus). It's only 10.3" long. The big drawback is the SFP reticle. Some sites incorrectly list the knobs as MOA and the length as 17.3" |

Is the original discontinued? It might be time to move on one if so.

They’re great at 10 yards. At distance they obscure everything. Everyone thinks differently of course, but diamonds are one where I just can’t believe anyone would like it, nor have I ever talked to anyone that did. I genuinely do hope you like it, but I think they were far better off with the dot. |

I still prefer a simple bright dot but I know alot of people like the ACSS/Accupower circle dot style over LED dots. Also, I;ve found the basic crosshair reticle in the P4Xi is already pretty thick compared to most other crosshair style reticles. |

Also, I;ve found the basic crosshair reticle in the P4Xi is already pretty thick compared to most other crosshair style reticles. My experience was pretty terrible with it. Is it quick to hit a silhouette at 25 yards, yep, even without daylight illumination. Even on the 8X Atibal at 100 yards I absolutely hated it. Looking out at 200 yards with the P4xi is going to magnify how bad the target is obscured. Half the magnification means doubling how obscured the target is at distance, and it was already a problem on 8X. Most all BDC optics use subtensions for highly precise BDC starting at 300 yards. The diamonds use the bottom of the diamond, so you have this chunky ass bottom half to contend with ranges where you want it to be lightweight and precise. Trijicon uses a Chevron when they do this specifically not to obscure the target. Otherwise people use horseshoes, which are all lightweight in the BDC portion of the optic. Granted the Steiner is open at the bottom, but you’re still wasting viewing space with almost no benefit with the diamond extending in close to the target. It makes transitioning close targets at LPVO distances a pain in the ass. (Not my picture)

Got mine today, this thread is retarded.
The reticle is very similar to the rt6, but diamond shaped. The diamond is not obtrusive. There are off positions between every power setting. The reticle is bright, but washes almost completely out when aimed at a cloudless sky in the middle of the day. The image quality is nothing short of amazing. Zero distortion, very sharp edge to edge, very natural contrast. Is it better than the original? I don't know. I had at minimum four of the original and there was copy variation between them. I'd say this is equal to the best copies of the original I had. The only thing that's really fucking strange is that the drop stadia are heavier than the windage. |

I can't get pictures to show any of this lol To me, it IS day light bright. It's clearly illuminated when putting it on full sun foliage which is impressive being green. However, since it's not one central dot it is NOT nuclear bright like the original. The illumination is just like the new Credo line from trijicon. Bottom line, if you like the original, don't change. If you want FFP, get the credo. I HATE BDC reticles but always loved the original, which is why I jumped on this. We'll see what my opinion is after putting lead in front of it. |

I'd be willing to give it a try as long as the reticle is daylight bright. Should be. The reticle (as pictured) looks like ass, but from what I've seen over the years, what you see posted as an illustration on vendor's websites don't always jive with reality (S&B reticles comes to mind), so I'll wait for Ilya's assessment next week before I write it off.

Quote HistoryThanks, reticule pictures are really hard, but you did one of the better ones without a real fancy ass set up. IMO it is a reticule I would not buy, green is weak, and design is just not there. I personally don’t like horseshoe, diamond, bracketed reticules. Day light bright is really where companies need to put their efforts. |
