Steiner 10x50 Military Binocular Laser Rangefinder (LRF)

Steiner Release:

Renowned the world over for the extreme durability and reliability of its military binoculars, Steiner is charting new territory with the addition of its new 10×50 Military Binocular Laser Rangefinder (LRF), a lightweight, laser-rangefinding binocular. Unique and compact in design, the new 10×50 Military LRF is based on Steiner’s own military-tested/military-approved, tried-and true Porro-prism configuration. It integrates sleek two-button interface and a powerful laser rangefinder that outpaces its competition with a maximum ranging distance of 1,600 yards.

The 10×50 Military 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. By centering the target display on the subject while touching and releasing the “RANGING” button located on top of the right half, the digital display will provide an accurate distance value nearly instantaneously. Holding the ranging button for more than three seconds activates the unit’s scan mode, which is especially helpful when measuring small or moving targets. Scan mode switches off automatically after 20 seconds to conserve battery life.

The 10X50 Military LRF has a wide measurement range from 20 yards to 1,600 yards. With sunshine and good visibility, the unit’s accuracy is within one yard at ranges up to 380 yards, within two yards to 763 yards, and within approximately one-half of one percent to 1,600 yards. The Military LRF is also capable of being switched to provide metric measurements via the “SET” button.

A single, easily accessible 3-volt CR123A battery powers the 10×50 Military LRF laser rangefinder. A new battery will provide in excess of 5,000 individual measurements at 68 degrees F.

Available this month. Suggested retail is about $2,600.
