Is the T1042R still made?  I saw a pair at a precision rifle match.  The are perfect for those events. There are very limited options of good 10x binos with a reticle. I can find the T1042 without the reticle, but cannot find with a reticle.

Excellent set of binoculars. Been using for a month or so and love them. Where is the glass made? Is this US made? German made? I'm working on a YouTube review as we speak and would like to include this information.

Asked by: impaktreviews
The Schott glass is ground and polished in the original Steiner manufacturing facility in Bayreuth, Germany.
