Steiner Predator 4S 4-16×44 ($1,273.99)

The new Steiner Predator 4S currently holds the title of the world’s shortest and lightest 4-16X hunting riflescope. In fact, measuring just 10.9 inches in length, it’s 25% shorter than its closest competitors and weighs in at just over 18 ounces. If you’re building an ultralight, compact mountain gun, or you’re just trying to shave the weight and footprint of your existing “all-around” hunting rifle yet need the level of legendary optical performance that the Steiner brand brings to the table, the new Predator 4S is, essentially, a no-brainer option.

Weight and package size aside, the Predator 4s provides a bright, high-clarity, high-contrast image with excellent edge-to-edge sharpness. Light transmission is outstanding, and combined with a massive field-of-view, this optic gives the hunter every advantage possible for an ideal sight picture when making that all-important shot — poor lighting conditions or not. An illuminated E3 second focal plane reticle with 11 brightness settings delivers a fast and crisp sight picture. Foul weather and harsh climates also offer no resistance to the Predator 4s thanks to its fogproof and waterproof design and broad -13°F to +145°F operating temperature.
