Do any of you have a pair of Steiner Ranger Extreme 8x56 binoculars? If so how do you rate them please? Was wondering about getting a pair but its always good to get a review.

Yes I have read the published reviews, what I was after was unbiased reviews. Having said that I do understand that someone who has spent serious money on binoculars is perhaps unlikely to admit they were a pile of poo!

I have a Ranger 4-16 x 56 that I think is excellent value and quality. So happy in fact that I actually have two.

Not that telling you this is a great deal of use though regarding bino’s.

Had new steiner 7x50s 2000 bought that were good but were not with the special coatings for hunting though but my new 8x56 Zeiss bino"s from 2008 are better.

I have a pair, really like them. Offer great viability in low light, sturdy and very well made. The only downside is that they are quite large and subsequently a little heavy, but I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

I think as a dedicated binocular you can’t go wrong, just make sure it is what you want....a friend of mine has just bought a pair of range finding binoculars, which granted are much more expensive but a fantastic piece of kit.....now I want to upgrade!!

Tried a pair recently they were Ok but no better than my Vortex at considerably less money.

That’s because it’s the same bino from the same factory with a different casing. Fact.

Don't think so! I work quite a lot for the parent company of Steiner recently involved in the making of a promotional film for the parent company had to cover up the !ogo on my Vortex binos as it was not a brand endorsed by them.
Would be interested in where you got that information?
