Introduction
The Steiner Predator 8 2-16x42mm SFP is an engineered optical instrument designed for comprehensive field applications. Its adaptable magnification range facilitates engagement across diverse environmental conditions, providing a broad field of view for close-proximity observation and precise detail acquisition at extended ranges.
Key Features
Optimized 8x Zoom System
This optic integrates a powerful 8x magnification ratio, enabling rapid target acquisition at lower powers through an expansive field of view. Conversely, the 16x maximum magnification delivers enhanced detail crucial for precise shot placement over greater distances. The 42mm objective lens optimizes light transmission, ensuring a clear and bright sight picture during critical periods of observation and engagement.
Second Focal Plane (SFP) Reticle
As a Second Focal Plane optic, the reticle maintains a consistent, user-predictable size regardless of the magnification setting.
