Gone are the days of having to fork over a king's inheritance to get a pair of high-quality German-made optics featuring German glass. The Predator Xtreme line offers clean images with its Color Adjusted Transmission (CAT) technology. The durable glasses are rubber-armored, dry nitrogen pressurized and waterproof...and best of all, they're affordable. The 8x42 binos pictured here can be had for a very reasonable $399.

"If you ever want to own German glass at an affordable American price, this is your best option in the marketplace right now," said Dennis Phillips of Steiner.
Couldn't agree more. The 10x42 model can be yours for $100 more.
