Steiner Predator 4 Riflescope
The Steiner Predator 4 riflescopes offers a compact, lightweight design while providing the military ruggedness and durability you’ve come to expect from Steiner! Best-in-class optical clarity, with a massive field of view to deliver industry leading light transmission, and outstanding results in low light conditions.
The Predator 4 riflescope features an illuminated, second focal plane E3 or 4A-i reticle designed specifically for hunters. The E3 reticle is in second (rear) focal plane which allows your crosshairs to remain fully visible, regardless of magnification setting. The E3 reticle also offers 5 MPH and 10 MPH crosswind reference marks for every 100 yard increment; and provides BDC (bullet drop compensation) holdover marks for each 100 yard increment along the lower vertical cross hair. The illumination has 11 total brightness levels (5 day/6 night), and can easily be fine-tuned with a dial on the side of the scope. The 4A-i reticle is also a SSF illuminated clean crosshair reticle with an optimized illuminated dot to allow rapid target acquisition.
The Predator 4 comes in a variety of zoom options to fit your exact hunting needs:
- 2.5-10x42mm E3 Reticle
- 4-16x50mm E3 Reticle
- 6-24x50mm E3 Reticle
- 3-12x56mm 4A-i Reticle
The 2.5-10x42 is designed for the Midwest and Eastern hunter who needs to find game quickly even in dense environments. The compact and lightweight scope has a wide field of view, an illuminated reticle, and 2.5-10 magnification giving hunters the flexibility they need anywhere from timber to cornfields.
For maximum versatility in a hunting riflescope, the 4-16x50 offers the best of both worlds. The 4-16 magnification range ensures hunters can confidentially pursue game in all environments. A 50mm objective lens and side parallax adjustment provide a clear and bright image across all magnifications.
The 6-24x50 is a western hunter's dream offering the highest magnification scope in the Predator line. For extreme precision and making those difficult mountain shots, the 50mm objective lens and side parallax adjustment provide a clear and bright image even at 24x magnification.
The 3-12x56 with the Steiner 4A-i illuminated reticle is ideal for medium to long range shooting with superior twilight performance.
The Predator 4S 4-16x44 Short is new for 2024. Like the other Predator scopes it utilizes the second focal plane E3 reticle. Click here for details.
