RE: does anybody know anything about steiner binocs?
I' ve had some Steiners for about 10 years... They are durable and you will like them --until you try out some really good ones, such as Swarovskis, then you' ll rarely use them again. A huge difference in the the clairity and light gathering capability of the optics. I would suggest that you either save up until you can get some good binocs or go on Ebay and find some quality binocs at a good price. I would honestly say that I would trade down in most all of my hunting equipment before I gave up my Swarovskis. Believe me, when it comes to those last few minutes and you know there' s a big buck wandering in front of you, quality optics are worth every penny!

I used Steiners quite a bit in the military and never had a problem. We were always in the salt water and they held up. Not sure about their civilian offerings though. They were pretty heavy as I recall.
