Steiner 15×56 HX Binoculars

Description

Built for long-distance game location, the Steiner 15×56 HX Binoculars spreads a 241.4-foot field of view at 1000 yards (4.6-degree actual). The 3.7mm exit pupil and 16mm eye relief provide crisp mid-day viewing. At 44.1 ounces with 15x magnification, hand tremors become severe during extended scanning without a tripod or chest rest.

High-contrast ED glass elements feed phase-corrected BaK-4 roof prisms coated in hydrophobic Nano-Protection exterior layers. The Makrolon polycarbonate chassis is sheathed in oil-resistant NBR Long Life rubber armor, measuring 7.1 by 5.6 by 3.1 inches at 44.1 oz (1250.2 g). Nitrogen pressure-filled via dual valves and water-resistant, it features Fast-Close-Focus center gearing tracking to 8 feet (2.4 m), a right-eye diopter ring, and winged eyecups.

Key Features of Steiner 15×56 HX Binoculars

Engineered for western hunters and open-country spotters who must identify distant bedded game across vast canyons. The 56mm objective glass pulls in critical light, while the 15x magnification reveals subtle antler points without packing a heavy spotting scope.

• High-power 15x magnification paired with 56mm objective lenses yielding a 3.7mm exit pupil
• Phase-corrected BaK-4 roof prisms treated with high-contrast optical coatings
• Extra-low dispersion (ED) optical glass elements reducing chromatic fringe
• 241.4 ft field of view at 1000 yd (4.6-degree actual angle)
• 16mm eye relief with contoured winged rubber eyecups
• 8-foot close focus distance suited for intermediate timber scanning
• Nitrogen pressure-filled Makrolon polycarbonate chassis with NBR rubber armor
• Heavy 44.1 oz frame with front 1/4-20 tripod adapter socket

High-Contrast ED Optics & 15x Magnification

Steiner’s specialized optical coatings and ED glass elements curb color fringing along horizon edges and sunlit rock faces. The 15x magnification pulls distant details forward, though the 4.6-degree field demands a rested hold or tripod head to maintain steady target tracking across open basins.

Makrolon Shell & Fast-Close-Focus Gearing

The Makrolon chassis withstands direct trail impacts and resists up to 11 Gs of shock without shifting internal prism collimation. The Fast-Close-Focus wheel requires minimal rotation to transition from near brush to distant ridgelines, and the winged eyecups block peripheral side glare.

• Fast-Close-Focus center wheel delivers continuous sharpness with minimal finger rotation
• Rigid Makrolon frame preserves internal optical alignment through rough transit
• Ergonomic winged eyecups fold down easily to accommodate eyeglasses without losing side shading
