The 'Oracle' | Steiner ePredator LRF 10x42mm Rangefinding Field Observation Binoculars | 2060

The Experience

You can almost see into the future with these. Almost. The Steiner ePredator LRF 10x42mm rangefinding binoculars combine premium Steiner optics with an integrated precision laser rangefinder in a single instrument — measuring distances from 15 meters to 3,000 meters with exceptional accuracy while delivering the crystal-clear, high-contrast imagery that has made Steiner one of the most trusted optical brands in the world. No separate rangefinder to carry. No second instrument to fumble with in low light. Just one precision German-engineered chassis that sees everything, knows where everything is, and tells you exactly how far away it is — simultaneously.

The Oracle is the crown of the Midwest Nest Field Optics collection. At $1,749 it is a serious instrument for the serious observer — the estate steward who monitors wildlife movement across large properties, the naturalist who needs precise distance data for behavioral research, the conservation manager who tracks species across hundreds of acres. Bluetooth connectivity pairs with the Steiner Connect App 2.0 and Google Maps through the Impact Locator — allowing you to mark, track, and map wildlife observations in real time directly on your property map. What you see through The Oracle doesn't just stay in the field. It goes into the record.

Scientific Engineering

• Integrated Precision Laser Rangefinder — 15m to 3,000m: The ePredator's laser rangefinder measures distances from 15 meters to 3,000 meters with exceptional accuracy — displayed seamlessly in meters or yards through the eyepiece without removing the binoculars from your face. Four measuring modes — standard, rain, long-distance, and short-distance — plus continuous scan mode for rapid landscape assessment across changing terrain.
• 10x42mm Fully Multi-Coated Optical System: The 10x magnification and 42mm objective lens deliver a 4.2mm exit pupil optimized for bright, detailed imagery across the full range of field conditions — from full midday sun to the critical low-light windows of dawn and dusk when wildlife activity peaks. Fully multi-coated optics maximize light transmission and contrast across all air-to-glass surfaces.
• Predator Diamond Coating: Steiner's proprietary Predator diamond coating is applied to critical optical surfaces for superior light transmission, enhanced color fidelity, and high-contrast imaging that separates subjects from complex backgrounds — tree lines, brush, and low-contrast terrain where standard coatings lose definition.
• Bluetooth — Steiner Connect App 2.0: Integrated Bluetooth pairs with the Steiner Connect App 2.0 on iOS and Android — enabling real-time distance data transmission to your device, wildlife observation logging, and the Impact Locator feature that maps rangefinder measurements directly to Google Maps satellite imagery of your property.
• Six-Level Adjustable Display Brightness: The rangefinder display brightness adjusts across six levels — from dim enough for complete darkness to bright enough for full midday sun — ensuring the distance readout is always visible without washing out the optical image.
• CR2 Battery — 2,500+ Measurements: A single CR2 battery delivers over 2,500 rangefinder measurements per charge — sufficient for extended observation sessions without battery anxiety. A battery-saving design extends usability across long field days.
• Waterproof, Fogproof, Shockproof Housing: The sealed, nitrogen-purged housing is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof — built to the same rugged standard as all Steiner field instruments. Rain, morning fog, heavy dew, and the temperature differentials of dawn and dusk observation sessions present no challenge to the ePredator's optical performance or electronic systems.
• Fast-Close Focus System: Steiner's fast-close focus wheel delivers rapid, precise focus adjustment for close-range subjects — complementing the rangefinder's precision distance data for complete situational awareness at any range.
• Twist-Up Eyecups: Adjustable twist-up eyecups accommodate eyeglass wearers and provide consistent eye positioning for extended observation sessions without fatigue.

Boutique & Conservation Values

• The Estate Observer's Ultimate Instrument: The Oracle is built for the property owner who takes wildlife observation seriously — who wants to know not just what is moving across their land, but exactly where it is and exactly how far away. Distance-tagged wildlife observations. Real-time property mapping through Google Maps integration. A field record that exists beyond the moment of observation.
• One Instrument. Every Answer. Premium binoculars and a precision laser rangefinder have historically required two separate instruments — two things to carry, two things to manage, two things to drop in the dark. The Oracle collapses that into one. See it. Range it. Map it. Done.
• German Precision. Estate Performance. Manufactured at Steiner's production facility in Germany to the same exacting standards that have earned Steiner its place as one of the most respected names in premium optics worldwide.
• Made in Germany: Manufactured at Steiner's production facility in Germany.
• Steiner Warranty: Every ePredator LRF is backed by Steiner's manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
