the SUMR targeting reticle system, making it an ideal binocular for coordinating
and directing small arms fire. This compact design is specifically made
for tactical surveillance and operations. Using updated optical system
formulations, fully multi-coated optics and a completely revamped shock and
waterproof housing, the Steiner 10x42mm Tactical R Binoculars delivers
a new standard of performance in a tactical binocular. The Mil Reticle Targeting
System allowing faster and more accurate communications between the
spotter/observer and shooter or weapons delivery personnel.
With its integrated universal reticle, the Steiner 10x42 Tactical R Binoculars are a smaller, rugged and light weight design with magnification power that matches the favored magnification of the newer 10x Military rifle scopes used by Army, Air and Marine SOF and LE Forces on rifles in calibers from 5.56 thru .50 BMG and beyond. The reticle is based on the standard Mil System. The binocular reticle is truly a multi-role tool since the reticule's mil graduations combine standard 5 & 10 mil increments that reduce down to single and split mils towards the center of the view area enabling the user to effectively accomplish observations, coordinate direct and indirect small arms fire. The Steiner 10x42 R Tactical R Binoculars also feature an ergonomically designed housing, and a special rubberized armor covering to protect the binocular from the harshest conditions.
