Steiner Discovery 8x44 - The new professional birdwatching binocular from Steiner.
BIRDWATCHERS are among the most demanding recreational users of optical equipment in the world, so leading German manufacturer Steiner made it a priority to understand their needs before embarking on the design and manufacture of their latest high-spec binoculars.

Robust construction with high levels of functionality
The entire series of Ranger Pro models has been designed using a new, fibre-glass reinforced high-performance plastic material. This offers maximum resistance to mechanical stresses in comparison with commercially available synthetics, so ensuring that the optics of the Ranger Pro binoculars are especially well protected. An unprecedented level of precision for optical adjustment has also been achieved here. The innovative high-tech material used for the housing offers much greater rigidity, making it particularly resistant to outside influences such as impacts or chemicals. When combined with the Nitrogen Pressure System and water pressure proofing up to 3 metres, you can rely on your Ranger Pro model being especially durable and requiring low maintenance.
NBR-Longlife rubber armouring and thumb grips
A secure grip and a non-slip surface are essential features if binoculars are to be comfortable while out hunting. Our new NBR rubber armouring featuring a patterned, non slip surface is resistant to oil, acid or any weather conditions so you won‘t ever lose your grip. The rubber armouring also ensures that these binoculars can be handled without emitting any noise. Even when you are on long trips, the comfortable thumb grips prevent you from feeling tired whatever the situation. With the Ranger Pro you‘ll always have a firm grip on things whether it is hot, cold or wet outside.
Functional ergonomics: Twist-up eyecups
Even if you wear glasses, the Twist-up eyecups fitted to the Ranger Pro series offer all hunters convenient adjustment in three positions. These eyecups are made of soft silicon that is kind to the skin. Their ergonomic design offers protection from irritating incidental light from the side.
Fast-Close Focus with the best refocusing range of its class
Fast, reliable focusing even if you are wearing thick gloves? No problem with the Ranger Pro extra-large focusing ring! Even in cold weather you will be able to focus quickly and reliably. The look of this ring blends in perfectly with the up-to-date design of the Ranger Pro series, so combining functionality with modern styling.
Superb field of view
You will enjoy a superb field of view thanks to the sophisticated optical design of the Ranger Pro series. The Ranger Pro models offer excellent results when compared with competitive products within the same class. This means you will have a clear view of everything when out hunting.
Nitrogen filling via 2-way valve technology
Fogging-up or the formation of condensation inside the binoculars are completely ruled out by this high-tech solution. Even temperature fluctuations over the entire temperature range will not affect your binoculars. Our valve technology allows them to be serviced at any time even after many years. Your Ranger Pro will be ready for use at any moment, no matter how bad the weather.
ClicLoc Belt Attachment
STEINER‘s clever ClicLoc Belt Attachment makes sure your binoculars are always firmly secured, yet can be easily detached and reattached with a single movement in no time.
Standard accessories
The standard accessories supplied with the Ranger Pro models include a case, lens covers (which are inserted under the objectives so preventing them from getting lost), a neoprene rain hood as well as a connection for a tripod. These accessories are rounded off by a padded, non-slip neoprene carrying strap that is kind to the skin.
