Predator 10x42 is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 11.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic binoculars! I have many fine binoculars, but I always rely on my Steinor Predator 10x42 binoculars for hunting. They are quickest to focus and the glare guards are better than any others.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Whitetails I have had my 10x42 and nothing but too marks in the whitetail woods of TN. Weather T 50 yards of 300 yards they do their job to perfection. Just be careful you do not think a 120 is a 150!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Product and Value I bought my Predator 10X42 in the mid to late 90's and I still have them and they're still as accurate and clear as the day l purchased them. They need a new set of eye cups but that's because many times wearing glasses I turned them down. For the price and quality I don't think you can beat them. I would buy another pair any day and highly recommend them to anyone.

Do I need to store my bino in a climate controlled area?

Asked by: Anonymous
No that isn't necessary. We just recommend not storing them in direct UV light as it will degrade the rubber armor coating.

Do these binoculars have the porro prism system?  Which ones have the porro prism? 

Asked by: Mercury451
These are roof prism binoculars. For porro prism you'd want to look at the Military Marine, Commander, Military, and Navigator lines of products.
