The Steiner 10x42 R Tactical Binocular incorporates a mirror and lens coating technology for higher light transmission and color contrast. Using an optical system formulation, fully multi-coated optics and shock and waterproof housing, the binocular features a compact size and performance in a precision tactical binocular including a mil reticle targeting system.
