INTRODUCTION

Steiner is one of the largest manufacturers of high-quality optics in the world. Steiner products represent the highest level of precision and technology. Your H6Xi riflescope is proudly designed, machined, and assembled in the USA for precision shooters who demand the best.

This manual outlines the basic operation and maintenance of the scope.

WARNING! It is essential to make sure your firearm is completely unloaded before attempting to mount the scope. Always practice safe firearm handling procedures to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of yourself and others at all times.

MOUNTING THE SCOPE

Quality components ensure that your scope will remain safely and securely mounted and will provide the maximum accuracy. Steiner recommends using high-quality rings and bases such as the Steiner T-Series rings.

Read the ring manufacturer's directions regarding the installation of mounts and rings.

EYEPIECE FOCUSING

The eyepiece can be focused so that the reticle appears sharp and black to your eyes. Adjusting the focus is quick and easy to do. The H6Xi riflescopes feature a diopter locking ring that ensures it cannot be moved once the reticle is focused for your eye. To adjust the eyepiece, follow this procedure.

1. Loosen the diopter locking ring by turning it counter-clockwise.
2. With the locking ring loosened, the diopter can be easily adjusted.
3. Point the scope at the sky or a plain wall and take a quick glance through the scope. If the reticle appears sharp and black, no further adjustment is necessary.
4. If not, use quick glances through the scope while rotating the focus ring until the reticle is sharp and clear.
5. When the reticle is focused for your eye, tighten the locking ring by turning clockwise. Do not over-tighten.

NOTE: Do not look through the eyepiece as you turn the focus ring. Your eyes will adjust to the out-of-focus condition.

WINDAGE / ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT

The windage and elevation knobs are designed for precise adjustment. The dials are calibrated so that 1 click = 1/4 MOA or 1 click = 0.1 MIL. The windage turret is located on the right side of the tube and elevation turret is on the top. Adjustments are indicated by detents and audible clicks.

The H6Xi Series offers low-profile tactical turrets designed for hunters, featuring easy to read, laser marked elevation and windage knobs.

	2-12x 3-18x 5-30x
WINDAGE RANGE@ 100 yd.	70 MOA/20 MIL	50 MOA/14.5 MIL	30 MOA/8.5 MIL
ELEVATION RANGE@ 100 yd.	70 MOA/20 MIL	75 MOA/21.5 MIL	65 MOA/18.5 MIL

Setting the Windage Zero and Elevation Zero Click Stop

1. Zero your rifle.
2. Using the 2 mm hex wrench supplied with your scope loosen the two set screws located just below the top of the knob, one-half turn.
3. Turn the knob to zero.
4. Tighten the two set screws on the knob. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
5. Repeat for the windage knob.

PARALLAX/FOCUS ADJUSTMENT

Images from different distances can focus in front of or behind the scope's reticle causing a blurry image or reticle. The Parallax/Side Focus adjustment allows adjusting image focus forward or backward so the reticle and image both appear sharp and clear.

To use the parallax/focus adjustment, rotate the knob on the left side of the adjustment turret, closest to the main scope tube until the numbers corresponding to the known target distance lines up with the reference mark. If the distance is unknown, rotate the adjustment knob clockwise or counterclockwise until the target image is sharply focused.

When the scope is set parallax free for the distance you are viewing, you should be able to move your eye slightly side-to-side or up and down without seeing the reticle move in relation to the target.

Replacing the Battery

The reticle is powered by a 3-volt lithium cell battery #CR2032. To install a new battery, use a tool to unscrew the battery cap

0.8 N·m CR2032 9 10 11

on the illumination switch and install the new battery flat side (+) up. It is advisable to remove the battery for long-term storage (over a month).

Illuminated Reticle Adjustment

The H6Xi series of riflescopes feature illuminated reticles for optimum viewing in low light or on dark targets. The rotary illumination dial is located on the left side of the riflescope adjacent to parallax adjustment.

There are 11 illumination intensity levels and a “battery saver” position in-between each level that turns off the illumination to prevent battery drain. Additionally, each level has a detent to prevent unintended changes during use.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Your Steiner H6Xi is fogproof and waterproof to 33ft. To protect the objective and ocular lenses, it comes equipped with flip-up scope caps. If the lenses are subjected to dust, dirt or mud, follow these steps to clean and protect the lens surface.

CAUTION - Remove all foreign material from the lens before cleaning with cloth to prevent damage to the lens.

Failure to remove grit before final cleaning is sure to damage lens coatings. Coarse dirt/debris must be removed from the lens surface. Position the scope so particles will fall away from the lens, and then use a soft brush to gently whisk away the debris, while blowing on the lens to dislodge the particles.

For heavy dirt, like dried mud, an air compressor or air can is recommended. Your H6Xi riflescope will provide a reliable performance given reasonable care and treatment.

All moving assemblies are permanently lubricated. Only occasional cleaning of the outside of the scope and the exterior lenses is required.
