Best compact binocular with reticle - Steiner 8x30mm M30r Military Binoculars

These are the same binos I used as a Marine Infantry Officer 35 years ago. Loved them then, love them now. Compact and light, fantastic optics. Negligible footprint in your pack or on your person. Great in low light. The reticle makes range estimation easy. If you don't know how to range estimate with a MilDot reticle, don't worry - there are plenty of tutorials on line, written and video. Just google it. Only thing I would change is the eyecups: I wear glasses so U have to fold them back. Eventually the rubber will crack. Replacements are available directly from Steiner, but a better solution is the hard plastic caps that "screw" down, like you find on Nikon binos. Not a reason not to by. If you're looking for a compact binocular with a reticle, these are the ones to get.
