Best Hunting Binoculars 2019 - BBR Best Binoculars for Hunting Awards

In this video, review the winner of the BBR's Best Binoculars for Hunting, the Steiner Nighthunter/Shadowquest 8x56 which I believe are the Best Hunting Binoculars of 2019 that I fully hands-on tested over the last 12 months.

Over the last 12 months, I have been fortunate enough to have tested a whole bunch of top hunting binoculars. Many also make great general wildlife observation instruments, whilst others are specifically designed and marketed with hunting in mind.

So the competition to win the best hunting binoculars 2019 award has been tougher than ever.

Depending on which side of the Atlantic you live, these Steiner 8x56 binoculars are either called the Shadowquest (In North America) or the Nighthunter (In Europe), however apart from the sticker on the front, they are exactly the same instrument and no doubt one of the best Steiner binoculars for hunting overall and certainly the best night hunting binoculars from this famous German brand.

Also note that whilst the Shadowquest is marketed as a hunting binocular and especially towards hunters who require the brightest views, even in very low light conditions, I would also highly recommend them to anyone needing an instrument that excels in very low light conditions, be that for general wildlife observation, security needs or even birding.

The Steiner Shadowquest 8x56 Binoculars are an Excellent Low Light Performer:

The standout feature and truly a major highlight of the Nighthunter binocular is their performance in low light that is simply off the charts and in my experience is as good as or better than any instrument that I have ever used.

So how exactly has Steiner managed to achieve this?

Well, to begin with, the instrument has large 56mm lenses, which just like the windows in your house, they are able to capture more light than smaller ones.

But this is just the start as by just having large lenses does not guarantee bright high-quality views, especially in extreme conditions when the ambient light levels are very low, like when the sun is just below the horizon.

Here you also have to make sure that as much of the captured light as possible gets transmitted right thought entire optical system and then onto your eyes.

Manufactured in Germany, using the very best optical components and coatings, Steiner Optics has managed to produce an instrument that has a true industry leading light transmission level of more than 96%.

Here it is important to note that this measurement is the value across all the visible wavelengths and not just a selected few which is what some manufacturers will do when they advertise their transmission levels, but which is not representative of what your eyes actually see in the real world.

So this extremely high light transmission level combined with their large lenses and a moderate 8x magnification combine altogether to deliver not only an incredible low light performance but I would also add that the general image quality is also superb and just about as good as you could ever hope for. Indeed they scored an outstanding 9/10 for both the Optical Components and Image Quality on the BBR scale.


📒100% Honest, Real Reviews, Advice & Opinions📒
I would like to make it completely clear that like all the reviews and advice that I give on the BBR video channel and website, this is my honest and completely genuine opinion and I am in no way compensated to describe a binocular in a particular way or with a bias.
