History of Steiner Scopes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Steiner<\/strong>, one of Europe’s biggest producers of binoculars, began producing rifle scopes around 2014. Their first rifle scope line was called Steiner Nighthunter<\/strong>. They began producing riflescopes in the premium class from the start. We think Steiner should build their reputation from the bottom up rather than from the top-down, so starting in the premium class may not have been its greatest decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steiner Night Hunter rifle scopes were well-made. They were produced in Germany and included a 30-year guarantee. However, they were not particularly popular on the market – because other competitors like Zeiss, Swarovski, Kahless, and Leica had been offering top-of-the-line rifle scopes for decades. It was difficult for a new entrant in the premium class of optics to compete with well-known companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, Steiner came out with the second series of rifle scopes – the Steiner Ranger series<\/strong><\/a>. This was a much smarter move because they placed the price between 900\u20ac and 1200\u20ac. They offered a decent product for a good price. Ranger scopes were successful. Right now, Steiner is selling a large number of various rifle scopes, and they enjoy a sizable customer base. We believe that it will be considerably simpler for Steiner to attempt again at creating high-end riflescopes. We’re talking about rifle scopes that cost around 1500\u20ac<\/strong> and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Steiner Ranger Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Let’s have a look at the Steiner Ranger riflescopes. The Ranger scopes were first shown at Iwa in 2017<\/strong>. It was quite a big event when the Ranger debuted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        There weren’t many 1000 euros-priced scopes on the market that had this premium European appearance and were designed for European hunters. At the time, Leica had their ER rifle scopes, which were priced between 1,500\u20ac and 2,000\u20ac. Kahles Helia 5, on the other hand, was much closer to 2000\u20ac. Zeiss had the Conquest DL at that time which was in the 1000\u20ac price class, but Swarovski didn’t have anything in this price class. So, in terms of conventional European scopes for conventional European hunters, there wasn’t much competition on the market. We think that Steiner’s decision to move on this market was very wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Besides Minox and Noblex there weren’t many others. The Japanese were ignorant of what the European Hunter required. As a result, their scopes are built differently. In addition, American hunting is done differently. Low-light performance is not nearly as important as in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
