I love these Bino.s
I have had this set of bino.s for a few months and they have exceeded my expectations in every way. The glass is crystal clear and they are made, Steiner tough, great for using when you’re busy and not babying your tools. The recital is in the center but Not in the Way. I have checked the recital against a rangefinder and it is accurate. I have been very pleased with my purchase & I am not a wealthy man but I feel that this was money well spent on the Tac-R.

Functional, dependable, versatile, GREAT optics
I purchased these for multiple reasons 1) First and foremost, for work. I'm a licensed first responder and procured these as a replacement for a previous pair of 20+ yr old Steiners damaged in a training exercise. The size, weight and handling are an improvement over my previous pair. I'm enjoying the 10x and the grid as I need to frequently judge distance . 2) Also utilize these for competitive shooting. They are crystal clear in all conditions. They're a must have in my range bag on every trip. Lots of complements on them at meets. Finally, 3) I just started using these on my upland bird hunting trips. Only had them long enough for the past season but the optics on these are super in all weather and light conditions and I'm out early, using them at first light on the foggiest, raining days! Reliable, great ergonomics, design, features and quality from Steiner!

Great bino’s - need an ARD
These are a fantastic set of bino’s and excellent value for German glass. The only disappointment is that Steiner do not offer an ARD (anti-reflective device) for this model which is unusual given the “tactical” purpose of these.

T1042 R Review
I was looking to upgrade my binocs with these steiner binoculars. They look really durable and not huge. This is my first Steiner product purchased, and I'm real happy with the quality of the glass. The picture is awesome/crisp! DSG Arms had a real good price. I called them several times with questions about the binocs, and the staff I talked to was real knowlagable. The SUMR radical is in the right eye piece. The radical is real clear but not obtrusive with the field of view.

Awesome Binos and Excellent Support
I purchased these for working on the ocean on military missions. The quality is excellent, and the optics are crystal clear. They are well built and perform well under harsh conditions. I would definitely recommend these to friends and others.

Great product for everyday work, very satisfied A+
I returned my old T1042R that serves me a lot of big help at work for years and that was recently (May2019) giving me a double vision while using it at work as a Law Enforcement Officer. Steiner ended up sending me a whole brand new T1042R which I'm very happy with it. Thank you so much.

Perfect for watching football.
I received these for a Christmas gift. We have season tickets to the Texas A&M games, and these new binoculars will provide a much better view of the game.

Is this reticle first or second focal plane?
The reticle is technically located in the second focal plane.
Date published: 2017-04-12
Please elaborate on the SUMR system? How do you calibrate distance ? Thank you
Formula for use of the Reticle:
Distance: actual height/scale height X1000
Actual Height: distance x scale height/1000

Can you get the 1042r with a laser eye safe film on the lens for military applications?
Those protective covers are not available on this model.

What is the best accessory to attach these binos to a tripod?
The front has a cap that will unscrew and you'll need a 1/4-20 tripod adapter.

What is the difference between the T1042r and the T1042?
The 10x42r will have a ranging reticle build into them.

Is the T1042R still made? I saw a pair at a precision rifle match. The are perfect for those events. There are very limited options of good 10x binos with a reticle. I can find the T1042 without the reticle, but cannot find with a reticle.
They are still available. The item number is "2006".

Excellent set of binoculars. Been using for a month or so and love them. Where is the glass made? Is this US made? German made? I'm working on a YouTube review as we speak and would like to include this information.
The Schott glass is ground and polished in the original Steiner manufacturing facility in Bayreuth, Germany.
