Reviews & Ratings for Steiner Safari Ultrasharp 8x22 Binoculars — 2 reviews — Page 1

Steiner has an excellent reputation, but regrettably the quality belongs to the past.

I thus sent the STEINER to my expenses at Stoeger Canada (the Canadian importer, which is a part part of Beretta Group), according to their instructions with description of the problem: WHAT A PITIFUL EXPERIENCE !! After approximately two months of wait, without any piece of news or information (and several e-mails without answer) Stoeger Canada finally answered me that they had been sent in Colorado for repair, without any form of basic politeness.
Approximately 6 months later I received my Safari Ultrasharp 8x22... not repaired. They are absolutely NOT repaired ! The ONLY difference: the rubber-cover of the diopter wheel adjustment it's now unstuck , and turns endlessly. Binoculars were unsettled, they are now broken.
Stoeger Canada asks me to send back again to them!!! At my expenses!!!! Never ever!!! I shall find rather an independent workshop.
