Steiner Optics is a German optics manufacturer known for rugged, military-derived binoculars and riflescopes, with a strong reputation in long-range, tactical, and precision shooting applications worldwide.
Founded in 1947 in Bayreuth, Germany, Steiner Optics builds binoculars, riflescopes, and electro-optics for military, law enforcement, hunting, and precision shooting. Now part of Beretta Holding, Steiner leverages decades of military optical development into civilian long-range products. Its M-series riflescopes, especially the M5Xi, are built around first-focal-plane reticles, repeatable turrets, and extreme durability. These scopes are designed to survive harsh field use while maintaining tracking accuracy and optical clarity, making them relevant to PRS-style competition, LE sniper roles, and demanding long-range hunting where reliability matters more than weight or price.
