Steiner MM1050 Military-Marine 10x50 Tactical Binocular

I'm a retired veteran. I have been many places in my 20 year career, most of them in forward locations. I've always used Steiner binocs. They have the sharpest optics, are the most durable in extreme environments. I pulled a pair out of a wet sand-dune, rinsed them with some canteen water, blew on the optics and they were, of course ready to go. Ice, rain, mud, sand, hard-knocks, it doesn't matter, your Steiners are always there and ready to go. This pair I have will last for decades, I love them.

PRO - Excellent depth of field and razor sharp clarity. After you use these at dusk, or dawn you’ll be spoiled for anything else. Waterproof and optics are sealed so they never fog up internally. Rugged coating protects well against wear and drops. Great case is nicely padded with smooth zippers.CON - Sold as Military-Marine, but for marine use, you’ll certainly need to buy the optional floating neck strap. Not sure why some reviewers complain about how heavy these binoculars are, that comes with great optics and thick armor.

I’d give these 5 stars if they were just a bit lighter, as they can grow heavy around one’s neck if you wear them for more than a couple of hours (unless you are a wrestler😂). Very good lenses and are easy to focus.

These binoculars are so great its hard to put into words. We took them to Alaska and we were the only couple able to get a good look at grizzlies off in the distance. So worth it.

I already own a STEINER 10 X 30 MM and was looking for a little more power. I use these mostly for spotting in the Deere Blind and these have a bit more power so I would recommend to place them on something more firm and doesn’t shatter as muck. Because with more power these 10 X 50 MM the objective will move and shake more. Plus more heavy than the 8 X 30 MM.For hiking I would recommend the 8 X 30 MM and it’s more lightweight and the objective doesn’t shatter as much.Hope this info helps.

The next step should be higher quality and more heavy duty! It was a pain to put the neck strap on to the binoculars. The binoculars were heavier than vortex binoculars in 10 power but they have a wider range and are very very clear.Very good binoculars. I have had Bushnell and Leopold 10 power binoculars. Steiner is a better quality but much heavier.

I like this binocle very much. I think this is a good seller that the baggage and the binocle has been safe covered by a box when I received it. The binocle is easy and convenience to use that you even don't need to read the specification.The glasses of the binocle is so shining when you use it at somewhere that light is not so good.It is a good chioce when you place a order with this seller even though the binocle is not cheap but the seller's service and binocle deserve this price.

I bought these, and I was not impressed.Lense ring was broken, the ring just popped out.They are decent glass, however you can get better less magnification for the same price.I would keep searching.
