The design for this binocular is based on the legendary Steiner military-issue 7 x 50, selected by the US Army and over 40 other

nations. 7 x 50 optics provide excellent low-light performanceand image stability. These optics, and Steiner’s Sports

Auto-Focus system make this the perfect binocular for boatingand law enforcement applications, as well as most hunting

uses. Extra-long eye relief for eyeglass wearers andcomfort during extended hours of use.

7 X 5 0 M I L I T A R Y / M A R I N E

BUILT TOUGHA L I F E T I M E O F P R E C I S I O N

Comfort in DesignThe distinctive Steiner shape is ergonomicallydesigned to fit your grip easily, providing maximumcomfort even when using the binoculars for extended periods of time. This is the same bodydesign used on the binoculars we make for the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy SEALs, and other militaryand law enforcement agencies.

Sports Auto-FocusOnce Steiner binoculars (featuring the Sports Auto-Focus feature) are set for your eyes, you’re ready tosee everything from 20 yards (slightly higher initialdistance for more powerful models above 8x) toinfinity without further adjustment. This huge depthof field allows you to find game or objects morequickly and track moving objects more easily. This isespecially effective when locating wildlife or marine navigational markers in low light conditions, where the exact distance to an object may be unknown, or when viewing over a broad range such as sporting or racing events. Of course, we also offer a variety of high performance center-focus binoculars should you need fine tune-ability,especially for closer distances.

Optics that Intensify PerformanceNeed to punch through darkness or haze to get abetter view? Make wildlife pop out of foliage?Cut glare in bright sunlight? Steiner lenses arecoated to maximize performance for specific useslike these. High contrast, "game-sensing" coatingson our Predator series are designed for optimumwildlife discovery; our exclusive HD (High Definition)optics allow unparalleled transmission of visiblelight for enhanced low-light performance in theNighthunter XP, Commander V, Commander Digital,and Peregrine series. The optics on other binoculars, such as the Safari series, aredesigned to block UV light while providingcomfortable, bright, clear-viewing pleasure.

Lightweight and Rugged You may not see "rugged" and "lightweight" used together too often, but that’s exactly how to describe Steiner binoculars. The fiber reinforced polycarbonate material we use to build our binoculars is very light in weight, an especially important feature during extended periods of use and long treks where ounces reallycount. But these binoculars are tough, too. The polycarbonate isactually more impervious to temperature and atmospheric extremesthan most metals, not to mention its shockproofing value.

7 x 50 Military R

Rhino Tough ConstructionBeauty may be only skin deep, but when you want a binocular that’ll last through years of heavy use, it’s got to be built tough from the inside out. Steiner binoculars are built just that way, with a unique independent prism carriage system to absorb shock. And the new double, grease packed o-rings for water proofing with our N2 pressurization process makes them more waterproof than any other brand. Encased in a protective rubber casing that not only feels good, but also looks good.

Since birds are skittish by the presence of bright or light colors, Steiner tried the oppositeapproach with the exterior finish of the Merlin: the almost transparent neutral color

on the Merlin is a unique earth tone brown; chosen by Steiner's developmentstaff and birders as a color least noticeable to birds.

For the hunter, birder or naturalist,Steiner’s new roof-prism Merlinbrings true colors with exceptional brightness andresolution. Phase corrected,fully multi-coated optics assure optimal brightness in low light situations and offer remarkablecolor fidelity.

This unique earth-tone dark brown color exterior was especially formulated to not reflect light but rather absorb it and make the binoculars almost transparent to wildlife.

For more than 25 years, Steiner's Commander series has been setting standardsworldwide for marine binoculars with unrivaled reliability and innovation. Today Steinermarine binoculars are the number one choice for thousands of marine professionals,leisure boaters, trophy fishermen and elite military units who can't afford compromise.

Brilliant optical performance and durable construction have made Steiner the world leader in marine optics.

Steiner’s depth of field gives you a clear view of everything from20 yards to infinity without refocusing – perfect for spottingbuoys, markers and navigational hazards. The depth of fieldand Steiner’s incredibly bright optics work especially well at night,when exact distance is uncertain. How to use the distance range reticle

Divide the known height of an object by the points read on the reticle scale as seen through thebinocular. Assuming the known height of the landmark is in feet, the result is the range expressed inthousands of feet. Example: A lighthouse is known to be 150 feet high, and appears to be 15 pointson the vertical scale of the reticle. 150 ÷15 = 10, so the distance to the lighthouse is 10,000 feet.
