steiner binos?

[BULLBLASTER]

Well my Burris signature select binos bit the dust! I sent them in for warranty repairs but they cannot get them apart due to too much abuse on my part. So they are willing to give me 35% off any Steiner binos. I haven't seen or used Steiner binos at all to see how they are. Anyone like/dislike them? I may also be willing to order the steiners and sell them brand new if anyone wants a deal on steiners.

My buddy really likes his he keeps telling me to get them for myself.

You know which he has? I will probabaly order the night hunter 10x - 56mm. They are the most expensive Steiner has.

[D-Rock425]

I think he has the 10x42 predators

The 10x42 predators will be the next pair of bino's I buy.

I've got a pair for hunting and a pair for work...LOVE THEM!

Part of me is thinking that if I am buying new binos that I should buy high end as I won't be buying again... need to look at my funds. May look at leica geovid or ultravid.

trophy hunt and myself both have the 10x42 safaris and they kick butt, they are light pretty compact and they dont hurt the eyes and when you put your binos down your still lookn at the critter

Now I am thinking of getting night hunter 10x 56. I am just so used to 12x and I want to keep 12x but Steiner doesn't have any.

Is Steiner all that they can offer at the 35% discount?

The higher end Steiner lines are very nice, but they don't compare to the big 3.  But at 35% off, you might give them a good hard look.

I would be visiting Cabelas and Wholesale sports to see what they have for steiner stock to get a look for yourself.

I have steiner's and love them. 8x30 military marines. Tougher then heck. I will be getting a 10x pair of steiner's when I finally wear these out. Like the other guy said, if you have the money you can get more performance out of some of the higher priced brands. But for the price, steiners are solid products.

[BULLBLASTER]

I am going to cabelas this weekend and will look at the steiners. In reality the Steiner night hunters are probably better binos than my Burris were. Have the money for big 3 but don't really want to spend it... trying.to buy a new house.

I just ordered the Steiner night hunter 10x 56 binos. All of the reviews I read have been great. Now just waiting until they get here.

If you can get that discount on Steiner products, I'd suggest the Steiner Peregrine XP.  They are around $1,500 MSRP.  I had a pair of the 8x44 for a couple of months to do a review on and they are fasntastic binoculars.  They are better built than ANY OTHER BINOCULAR I have ever seen...that includes Swarovski, Zeiss, Leica.  They literally feel like you could use them as a weapon in a barfight.  They are the best in hand feeling binocular I klnow about.  The image is on par with anything else.  The newer roof prism Steiner Nighthunter XP's are just an ever so slight tick optically below the Peregrine XP and are about $500 less than the Peregrine.  Steiner makes some less than stellar stuff so be careful and don't just get a "Steiner".  That tells nobody anything.

The Peregrine weren't on the price list I recieved. I told them I want the best binos available from Steiner and he said they were the night hunters. Thanks for the input. I am excited to get them and try them out. The Burris tech said they are at least a step up from my Burris signature selects.
