Steiner’s New Nighthunter 8x30 Laser Rangefinder Binocular
Offer Exceptional Performance, Compact Size
GREELEY, Colo. (Jan. 2014) — The new Nighthunter 8x30 LRF binocular offers an unprecedented combination of quality porro prism optics and ranging capabilities in a lightweight, easy-to-use package.
Like all Steiner binoculars, the Nighthunter 8x30 LRF is incredibly rugged and reliable. The design is based on Steiner's own military-tested/approved porro-prism configuration. It integrates a sleek two-button interface and a powerful laser rangefinder that outpaces its competition with a maximum ranging distance of 1,860 yards.
The 8x30 LRF's built-in laser rangefinder utilizes an eye-safe, invisible FDA Class 1 laser in the left half of the unit. The digital display is superimposed over the image seen in the unit's right half. Operation is quick and easy. Just center the target display on the target while touching and releasing the "RANGING" button located on top of binocular. The digital display will instantly provide an accurate distance in either yards or meters. Holding the ranging button for more than three seconds activates the unit's scan mode for measuring small or moving targets. Scan mode switches off automatically after 20 seconds to conserve battery life. A single, easily accessible 3-volt CR2 battery powers the Nighthunter 8x30 LRF.
As with all Steiner optics, the Nighthunter 8x30 LRF binoculars are covered by the industry-leading Steiner Heritage™ Warranty. Steiner is committed to the very highest standards of quality, dependability, and most of all customer satisfaction. The Steiner Heritage™ Warranty assures you of that commitment.
Other Steiner features include:
· Porro prism design produces three-dimensional depth perception and expanded field of view to quickly locate and accurately range your target.
· Ergoflex eyecups that block side light and wind for more comfortable viewing.
—More—
· Sports-Auto-Focus™ System lets you focus each eyepiece to your vision once, then keeps images razor-sharp from 20 yards to infinity.
· N2 Injection™ System seals 14-psi pressurized dry nitrogen into the optic so it’s waterproof to16 feet to lock out fog, rain, snow, water, grit and dust.
· Makrolon® housing is durable polycarbonate with NBR Long Life rubber armoring, creating a lightweight, rugged chassis that withstands 11 Gs of impact. Impervious to harsh conditions for generations of trusted use.
