What's the little thing sticking out of the bottom of the turret housing at about 5:00 in the picture?

Wow that looks like a near perfect coyote calling scope. Plenty of FOV on the bottom end for close in work and enough X's to reach out as far as needed with a 223 or 22-250. Plus it won't break the bank.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I've been looking at that scope for awhile, a glass comparison would be great.

It looks like a "Burris posi-lock heritage" bias spring housing. If I remember right, some of the Steiner line is made along side Burris scopes, not in Germany with their better quality optics.

I've been looking at that scope for awhile, a glass comparison would be great. I bought one a couple years ago before Doug had them I agree with him that they are close to Swaro in glass quality. They do have that CAT coating that makes certain colors pop more. I have look at deer with it and like it. The thing that drew me to the scope initially is because I use a scope like this more at 2X than at 10X and this scope looks particular good at 2X. There is absolutely no tunnel vision black doughnut and they eye box is excellent on 2X. It has the qualities I like for jump shooting a deer.

While reading about this particular model on Steiner’s website, I noticed it is Made in the USA. Beretta owns Burris and Steiner Beretta-Owned Burris Acquires Steiner-Optik GmbH. ... Steiner will be integrated into the Beretta Group through its optics subsidiary, Burris, based in Colorado. So now the Germans will be making binoculars for a US-based company owned by Italians.

Yes they do.... I found that out when I sent in an older pair of Burris binos to be repaired and was sent a brand new pair of Steiner binos.

Looks very much like the three Burris Signature Selects that I have. Those are great glass, discontinued and/or integrated into the Steiner line perhaps, although the SS were 1” tubes. I recall there were Four X and Black Diamond scopes with a 30mm tube? Happy Trails

Doug, or anyone, can you comment on the internals? A robust scope?

I've been looking at that scope for awhile, a glass comparison would be great. Ive compared them SXS against a HD5 and a Z3 and to me the GS3 was superb. The GS3 is easier to get behind and easier to get a full field of view at all angle. Not sure if this matters but the GS3 is a 30mm tube with a 56mm objective and the others are 1” tubes with 50mm objectives. I would’ve bought one of these from Doug by now if I didn’t already have a Conquest DL, a Leica ER5 and a Burris all NIB sitting in the safe.

My brother is always looking for a scope when he comes over, or I sell a few to my buddies. That Steiner sounds great at that price .
