What Is Steiner Optics?
Steiner Optics is a German optics manufacturer founded in 1947, known for nitrogen-purged, shock-tested riflescopes and binoculars used by NATO militaries and law enforcement worldwide. The brand's civilian lineup carries the same rugged construction into hunting and tactical markets.
Tactical Riflescopes
The H6Xi and M-Series lines are first- and second-focal-plane riflescopes built for precision shooters and duty use, with rapid-focus eyepieces and reticles designed for fast target acquisition at varying magnifications.
Hunting Riflescopes
Steiner's Predator series pairs illuminated ballistic reticles with bright, high-contrast glass for low-light hunting conditions, giving whitetail and predator hunters a scope built for dawn and dusk shots.
Binoculars and Rangefinders
Steiner's Military-Marine and Predator binoculars use Porro-prism and roof-prism designs with rugged rubber armoring, while the ePredator and M-series rangefinding binoculars add laser ranging for long glassing sessions in the field.
Thermal and Night Vision
The Nighthunter line brings thermal imaging to hunters tracking game after dark, with monocular and scope configurations built on the same shockproof housings as Steiner's daylight optics.
Who It's For
Steiner suits hunters and shooters who want military-grade durability in a hunting or tactical optic—serious about glass quality and willing to pay for a lifetime of reliability over a budget scope.
