This hunting season I cracked the ring that holds the rubber eye cups on my Steiner Night Hunter 8x30 binos. The cup ended up falling off and getting lost with a couple weeks to go. After season I sent them in for repair. I’m not exactly sure how long I’ve had them, but I’d say at least 22 years. They have a 30 year warranty, after 10 they may charge for parts. I received an invoice for $25 dollars to replace the eyecup, which I didn’t think was too bad with shipping and all.
I received them back today, they replaced both eye cups with an updated version, cleaned the lenses and surprised me by replacing the rubber armoring. They look brand new. I certainly wasn’t expecting that. I really like these glasses and now they’re ready for another 20 years or more probably
