So what do you guys think about Steiner optics for hunting? Specifically the Predator line of binoculars and the GS3 riflescopes.

I've never had a decent pair of binoculars and I want a set of 42mm good quality for under $600.

Scope wise, I've always used Nikon Prostaff, VX-II Leupold, and one Seeadler. I'm ready to step up for my next rifle. I'll default to a VX-3 is I can't find something I like better for roughly the same money.

So what is your opinion on Steiner?
