The outstanding feature of the 1-8&#215;24 model is the wide field of view of 37.8m-4.73m at 100m. Perfect for<strong> fast target acquisition on driven hunts<\/strong>.

The year is 2022. The<strong> African wild boar fever<\/strong> shows no sign of stopping and <strong>the fight against its deadly spread<\/strong> is urgent. Luckily, modern sports optics allow <strong>efficient yet responsible hunting at night.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steiner now has <strong>5 thermal devices in its repertoire:<\/strong> Steiner S35 Nighthunter thermal riflescope, Steiner Nighthunter H3 hand-held scope, <strong>Steiner C35 Nighthunter thermal clip-on,<\/strong> and Steiner CQT thermal red dot sight.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Looking for Thermal Clip-on?<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/steiner-nighthunter-c35.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14865\" src=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Steiner-Nighthunter-C35_cta.png\" alt=\"Steiner Nighthunter C35_cta\" width=\"400\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Steiner has only recently<strong> tapped into the world of NV and thermal devices<\/strong>.\u00a0Interestingly, one of the<strong> first clues of Steiner&#8217;s expanding product range <\/strong>was the change in Ranger&#8217;s objective diameters. The first iteration of the <strong>Ranger rifle scopes back in 2015<\/strong> had unconventional diameters that were<strong> impractical for use with thermal clip-ons. <\/strong>Ranger 4 and Ranger 6 <strong>fixed the issue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Steiner Ranger 8 was designed with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/steiner-nighthunter-c35.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> Steiner C35 Nighthunter clip-on<\/strong><\/a> in mind. Hunters can easily <strong>connect the 2 devices<\/strong> with the help of an adaptor. <strong>Hunter&#8217;s duty of responsible game assessment<\/strong> and clean shots does not wane with dying light. <strong>Ethical hunting<\/strong> is one of Steiner&#8217;s priorities and the riflescope and thermal clip-on combo provides just that.<\/p>\n<h2>How to mount Nighthunter C35 on Steiner Ranger 8?<\/h2>\n<p>To combine your Steiner Ranger scope with any thermal clip-on, <strong>you&#8217;ll need a clip-on adapter and a reduction ring. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Clip-on adapter is a<strong> riflescope accessory<\/strong> that connects a thermal device with a riflescope. With the<strong> industry boom<\/strong> that happened in the 2010s, hunters were looking for <strong>new ways of combining thermal devices<\/strong> with their <strong>daytime riflescopes. <\/strong>Many traditional <strong>manufacturers of rails and rings<\/strong> recognized the unique opportunity for expanding their customer base. Rusan began making<strong> quick-release adapters and reduction rings<\/strong> for every NV and thermal device available on the <strong>fast-growing market.<\/strong> Their products remain at the top of the quality pyramid, along with other <strong>companies like Smartclip<\/strong> that are dedicated solely to clip-on adapters.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14849\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14849\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-14849\" src=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Steiner-Ranger-8-Riflescopes-image-source-Steiner-Optik-k-19-1024x355.jpg\" alt=\"Steiner Ranger 8 Riflescopes (image source: Steiner Optik)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"355\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14849\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steiner Ranger 8 Riflescopes (image source: Steiner Optik)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But how can you select the right clip-on adapter for your scope? First, <strong>measure the objective diameter<\/strong>. Do NOT confuse the lens size (e.g. 50mm) for the objective bell diameter, which is always <strong>at least a few centimeters wider<\/strong> (e.g. 57mm). You&#8217;ll need a clip-on adapter of the same diameter as the riflescope&#8217;s objective. When putting the correct clip-on adapter onto the objective bell, you&#8217;ll immediately realize that <strong>the clamping force of the clip-on lever<\/strong> is not strong enough. So you&#8217;ll have to<strong> tighten the screws<\/strong> next to the lever with a hex key.<\/p>\n<p>Clip-on adapters have<strong> a specific outside thread, like M52x0.75 for example<\/strong>. If the thermal device<strong> uses the same thread<\/strong>, you can <strong>seamlessly connect the two<\/strong>. If not, <strong>the additional reduction ring<\/strong> can solve the matter.\u00a0 The reduction ring<strong> fits inside the clip-on adapter<\/strong> but it has a different,<strong> smaller thread <\/strong>&#8211; like M43x0.75. With this additional piece, you can also utilize NV and thermal devices that <strong>otherwise could not be fitted<\/strong> onto your scope.<\/p>\n<p>For connecting Steiner Ranger 8 with Steiner Nightunter CS35, we suggest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/rusan-q-r-adapter-for-dedal-540-552-jahnke-lahoux.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Rusan Q-R adapter for Dedal 540-552<\/strong><\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/rusan-reduction-ring-for-guide-ta435-bering-optics-hogster.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Rusan reduction ring<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/rusan-q-r-adapter-for-dedal-540-552-jahnke-lahoux.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Rusan-Q-R-adapter_CTA.png\" alt=\"Rusan Q-R adapter_CTA\" width=\"350\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a> \u00a0 \u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/rusan-reduction-ring-for-guide-ta435-bering-optics-hogster.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14881\" src=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Rusan-Reduction-Ring_CTA.png\" alt=\"Rusan Reduction Ring_CTA\" width=\"350\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Another great alternative is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/smartclip-adapter-a.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Smartclip AS.<\/strong><\/a> Use it in combination with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/smartclip-reduction-ring-for-guide.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Smartclip reduction ring for Guide,<\/strong><\/a> which has the same thread as Nighthunter CS35.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/smartclip-adapter-a.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Smartclip-Adapter-AS_CTA.png\" alt=\"Smartclip Adapter - AS_CTA\" width=\"350\" height=\"128\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/smartclip-reduction-ring-for-guide.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Smartclip-Reduction-Ring_CTA.png\" alt=\"Smartclip Reduction Ring_CTA\" width=\"350\" height=\"122\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Optical Properties<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>high-contrast image<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>8x zoom factor<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>variable magnification<\/li>\n<li>optimized light transmission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Ranger optics always outdid the expectations<\/strong> and this time it&#8217;s no different.

It&#8217;s vital that the reticle design does not <strong>cover too much of the target<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Ranger 8 Reticle<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>modern German 4 reticle<\/li>\n<li><strong>fiber dot reticle<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>precise illumination<\/li>\n<li><strong>11 brightness levels<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>6h auto shut-off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This brings us to the<strong> 4A-I reticle design.<\/strong> It&#8217;s a modern take on the German #4 &#8211; an old favorite, appreciated for its <strong>clean style<\/strong> and straightforward use. What changes did Steiner make? <strong>3 thick bars in the lower half<\/strong> are counter-balanced with <strong>thinner lines in the center<\/strong>. This guarantees an <strong>unobstructed view of the game<\/strong>. 11 levels of illumination reveal <strong>a fine center dot.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>top of the line illumination system<\/strong> is another outstanding feature of the Steiner Ranger 8 models. The red dot is <strong>crisp and day-bright<\/strong>. The <strong>11 intensity levels<\/strong> are clearly distinguishable and there&#8217;s an<strong> OFF step between each one.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let us also note that Steiner Ranger 6 and Ranger 8 models use <strong>optical fiber<\/strong> for the center dot. These are ranked higher than your <strong>run-of-the-mill printed or laser-etched reticles<\/strong>.\u00a0Optical fiber does<strong> not fade with time <\/strong>and is <strong>optimal for precise illumination. <\/strong>In this regard, too, Steiner joins renowned brands like Zeiss and Leupold that use optical fiber in <strong>premium scopes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14851\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14851\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14851\" src=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Steiner-4A-I-Reticle-image-source-Steiner-Optik-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Steiner 4A-I Reticle (image source: Steiner Optik)\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14851\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steiner 4A-I Reticle (image source: Steiner Optik)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Reticle Subtensions<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;
