The Tactical R 10x42 binoculars (650) have been developed as compact roof prism surveillance and operations binoculars incorporating the newly developed SUMR targeting reticle system.
Using entirely new optical system formulations, new, fully multi-coated optics and a completely new shock and waterproof housing, the binoculars deliver a new standard of performance that includes a new Mil Reticle Targeting System allowing faster and more accurate communications between the spotter/observer and shooter or weapons delivery personnel.
By building Steiner’s universal reticle system into a 10x roof prism binocular, Steiner is able to offer the observer a smaller, rugged and light weight binocular in a power that matches the favored magnification used in many of the newer 10x military rifle scopes used by SWAT, Army, Air Force and Marine SOF Forces. The reticle is based on the standard Mil System and can also be used to effectively accomplish observations, coordinate direct and indirect fire, close air support observations and delivery of PGM munitions.
The binocular has new ergonomically designed housing and a special rubberized, armor covering that feels great in the hand and helps protect the binocular from the harshest of environmental conditions. The checkered rubber outer finish and recessed thumb pits make the binocular comfortable to hold on long viewing sessions.
The model features impressive eye relief with twist-up eyecups that have fold down side flaps to block side light. It is tripod-ready for 1/4-20 tripod screws at the bottom of the center axis.
