Overview

The Steiner P4Xi 1-4x24 represents German optical engineering focused on practical carbine applications, offering an ultra-lightweight LPVO with exceptional glass quality at a mid-tier price point. At just 16.6 oz, the P4Xi delivers premium European glass clarity in one of the lightest packages available, making it ideal for weight-conscious builds and fast-handling tactical carbines.

Designed specifically for 3-gun competition, law enforcement patrol rifles, and home defense carbines, the P4Xi emphasizes speed and simplicity over extended magnification range. The 1-4x magnification provides the sweet spot for engagements from contact distance to 400 yards while keeping the scope compact and lightweight. Steiner's proprietary lens coatings deliver exceptional light transmission and contrast, critical for target identification in varying light conditions.

The second focal plane P3TR reticle combines a large illuminated center dot (3 MOA) with practical ranging and holdover references, designed for rapid shooting while maintaining precision capability. The included throw lever and oversized magnification ring enable lightning-fast power changes, a critical advantage in dynamic shooting scenarios.
