Steiner Predator 10x42mm Laser Rangefinding Binoculars - Precision Optics for Hunting & Outdoor Adventures

The Steiner Predator 10x42mm laser rangefinding binoculars merge optics expertise with integrated rangefinding in a compact hunting tool that doesn't sacrifice clarity or ruggedness. If you're serious about long-range hunting or precision glassing at distance, these binocs give you the magnification to spot game, the optical quality to see it clearly, and the laser rangefinder to know exactly how far it is—all without swapping gear or fiddling with separate devices.

Steiner's Predator Diamond Coating is the optical heart here. That proprietary lens treatment cranks up light transmission and contrast, which translates to sharper, brighter images in the field. The 10x magnification paired with 42mm objectives lands you solid detail at distance while keeping weight and bulk reasonable for an all-day hunt. Fast-Close-Focus lets you dial from near subjects to infinity with minimal rotation—no hunting for sharp focus when a deer steps into a clearing.

The rangefinder integrates directly into the housing instead of bolting on as a separate module, so there's no awkward bump or protrusion to catch on your pack. Built-in angle compensation automatically adjusts for slope, giving hunters the line-of-sight distance they actually need rather than just raw yardage over uneven terrain. Multiple measuring modes—standard, rain, long-distance, short-distance, and continuous scan—let you adapt to conditions and terrain. Range displays in either yards or meters, and the laser reaches from 5.5 yards out to 1,969 yards.

Nitrogen filling and NBR rubber armoring keep these binocs reliable through wet weather and rough handling. The ergonomic rotary eyecups dial in for comfortable viewing, and the carrying case keeps everything protected in transit or storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Predator 10x42 for long-range hunting?

Yes. The 10x magnification and 42mm objective give you solid detail at distance, and the integrated laser rangefinder reaches out to 1,969 yards. The angle compensation feature automatically adjusts for slope, so you get accurate line-of-sight distance—essential for hunting on uneven terrain where raw yardage doesn't tell the whole story.

What does the Predator Diamond Coating actually do?

Steiner's proprietary Diamond Coating increases light transmission and contrast through the optics, which means sharper, brighter images in the field. Combined with the High Definition lens design, this gives you clearer glass for spotting and identifying game, especially in low-light conditions.

How do the different measuring modes work?

The Predator offers multiple modes to adapt to conditions: standard mode for everyday ranging, rain mode to account for wet conditions, long-distance and short-distance modes for specific scenarios, and continuous scan mode to quickly glass a landscape. You can display range in either yards or meters depending on your preference or location.

What comes with the binoculars?

Each set includes a carrying case for protection during transport and storage. The binoculars use a CR2 battery to power the laser rangefinder.
