I bought these 8x30 Predators 14 years ago and they have worked above expectations. The optics are still perfect but I can no longer use them because the hinge holding the two sides together loosened and now flops like a limp rag. I called the company and they totally blew me off, stating they won't cover anything before 2014. I'm sure it is a simple fix for them but they would rather have you spend $700-$1000. Sorry, no more Steiner!

I bought my Steiners acfew years ago. Was going to take them to Arizona to see Grand Canyon but my mom came down with dementia. I use them occasionally to look at planes but haven't really been able to see what they can REALLY do. Until today! Never went to Fleet Week in NYC but I went today. Got to west side of Manhattan, pulled those babies out and looked across into New Jersey. Holy sh**! It was a mile across and I could read writing on signs. The Navy jets did a flyover and I eatched them for "minutes." I said to myself "if these are "that good" what do the "$12,000 pair look like?" Don't think I'll ever know but I don't need to with these. Unbelievable! I'm into German cars and German binoculars. These bad boys are the TRUTH!

After using and admiring the Steiner binos in the US Army; I wanted a pair of my own. Hunting Antelope and Mule Deer, and borrowing my buddies to spot game reminded me how much I wanted a set, and decided to buy a pair of my own. I opted for the Military-Marine 8x30 model because it was a good compromise between power, brightness and portability. I'm very happy with my choice. They will be a constant companion for camping, hunting and fishing. My friends and family that check them; out are all impressed with the brightness and clarity. Favorite feature is the "set it and forget it" focus. Thank you Steiner!

I bought a set twenty years ago and they have served me well. The only negative I can think of is that the strap that comes/came on them is horrible?too thin for wearing all day on a hunt. Optics are great and l love knowing they are rugged, shock proof, and waterproof. There are times I wish they had more magnification, especially as we all have been addicted to higher magnification riflescopes, but the quality of the lenses make up for that. Great binocs, and I am sure they are going to outlast me, and serve my son well after I can no longer hunt. I endorse them absolutely and with no reservations. (The strap was a $10 fix, and now it gets five stars in every category.)

Bought the Steiner binoculars after reading many reviews on binoculars. Steiner definitely leads the pack. Compact, rugged, extremely clear optics. We couldn?t be happier with our purchase. Thanks to Steiner for manufacturing

I had wanted a set of Steiner binos since 1984 when I saw my first pair of Military-Marines in the storefront window in Aschaffenburg, Germany. I had been thinking about getting one recently after seeing one recently. I appreciate the rubber armor and the durability that comes with that. The optics are phenomenal with crystal clarity. The movement is smooth like butter on the center axis hinge and when I set my diopter. The instructions are informative on how to set up the diopters for the user. I will enjoy this for many many years!

I received my Military Marine 8x30 approximately 2 weeks ago. I was able to play a little but last weekend I was on a camping trip with my son and I brought them with me. So glad I did, I was able to enjoy super clear images of various wildlife around the campsite.

I've had these bino's for a few months now, using them for both hunting and boating. I love the compact size and overall quality of them. However one day of light rain fogged up one side of the bino. I've sent them back for repair, hopefully I don't have anymore issues with them after this because before they fogged up they were great.

We bought the 8X30 military/Marine 10 years ago for our ranch and nature viewing. They are still going strong and get used almost daily year round. These binoculars get carried around on a Quad as we check cattle over open rangeland, which can be quite rough. The optics are still in perfect shape. We decided to get another 8X30 to have if we go on vacation while our family has the 10 year old set to use on the ranch. Other people have tried them and bought their own 8X30.

I've owned my binoculars for a while and have always loved them. I just recently sent them in to be looked at because the lens wasn't focusing. I got them back in about a week and they were like new again with no additional charge to me. Really great service and warranty and won't ever buy a different brand of optics!

GREAT viewing during the day. HORRIBLE at night if there is more than one light source. Many many halos and the factory warranty folks say its normal. Yuck. So if your using them during the day. Check Low light conditions on a hunting trip, Check using them for surveillance ops or anywhere that has more than one light source in the field of view....NO WAY, do not buy.
