{"product_id":"steiner-epredator-lrf-10x42-binoculars","title":"Steiner ePredator LRF 10x42 Rangefinder Binoculars","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rangefinding binocular earns its place by collapsing two devices into one: you glass up an animal and range it in the same motion, without lowering the binocular to fumble for a hand-held rangefinder while the shot window closes. The \u003cstrong\u003eSteiner ePredator LRF 10x42 pushes that idea to the far end of the range spectrum, with a laser Steiner rates to 3,000 meters on reflective targets and a Bluetooth link that hands the reading to a paired Steiner riflescope.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat combination of maximum reach and closed-ecosystem integration is where the ePredator LRF makes its case, and it is worth being precise about what you are and are not buying at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it does better than most is reach and integration. Steiner's 3,000 m reflective rating is among the longest in any rangefinding binocular, and the four ranging modes (Close Priority, Far Priority, All-Weather, and Scan) cover the situations that confuse a single-mode unit, such as brush in front of the target or rain between you and it. The angle-compensated readout gives you the horizontal, shoot-to distance on steep-angle shots rather than the misleading line-of-sight number. Through the Steiner Connect app, the Impact Locator can drop a ranged point onto a map, and the binocular syncs over Bluetooth with Steiner's ePredator riflescopes so a range you take through the glass is available at the optic. No competitor offers that binocular-to-Steiner-scope hand-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere it asks you to choose deliberately: the ePredator LRF is a ranging-and-integration tool, not a self-contained ballistic computer. It gives you angle-compensated distance, but it does not run an onboard Applied Ballistics wind-and-drop solver the way some rivals do. If a full onboard solver is what you want, the \u003cstrong\u003eVortex Fury HD 5000 AB\u003c\/strong\u003e puts Applied Ballistics Elite in the binocular for roughly $250 to $500 less, and the \u003cstrong\u003eSig Sauer Kilo 6K HD\u003c\/strong\u003e undercuts the ePredator on price with onboard sensors. Step up to true alpha glass with a full onboard solver and you are looking at the \u003cstrong\u003eSig Kilo 10K\u003c\/strong\u003e or the \u003cstrong\u003eLeica Geovid Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e, both well past $2,700. The ePredator sits between those tiers: more ranging reach and the Steiner ecosystem, without the alpha-glass price or an onboard solver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optics and build are pure Predator. The 10x42 platform delivers a 334 ft field of view and a 4.2 mm exit pupil in a rugged, nitrogen-filled housing that is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof. A single CR2 battery is rated for over 2,500 measurements, so a season of ranging does not mean constant battery swaps.
