Steiner gives firefighters, EMTs, paramedics and law enforcement officers special program pricing on its optics through the Steiner Overwatch program. You buy through an authorized dealer, in person, and Steiner doesn’t publish a rate, so the price the dealer quotes is the number that counts.
Steiner makes binoculars, riflescopes and sights. If you’re pricing a pair of binoculars or a duty scope, the Overwatch program is built for that purchase.
How To Get The Steiner First Responder Discount
- Open Steiner’s Overwatch page with the button below and read who qualifies.
- Find a participating Overwatch dealer. Steiner has a military and law enforcement dealer list on its site.
- Go to the dealer with your credentials. Dealers check them before they sell you anything through the program.
- Buy the Steiner product you want at the program price, and check the total before you pay.
Who Qualifies
The program names five groups. Law enforcement means active and retired sworn officers at the federal, state, county and municipal levels. First responders means firefighters, EMTs and paramedics. The program also covers military (active duty, National Guard, reservists and retirees), corrections officers, parole and probation officers, and judges and district attorneys.
Dispatchers aren’t named. If you work dispatch or another emergency role, ask an Overwatch dealer whether your credentials will work before you drive over.
What To Know Before You Go
Overwatch products are sold only through authorized brick-and-mortar dealers, so there’s no code to enter and no way to order online through the program. Steiner says that’s how it keeps verification and support in one place. Credential verification is required before every purchase, and all purchases have to follow federal, state and local law.
Steiner doesn’t say how much the program takes off. Ask the dealer for the program price on the exact model, then compare it with the regular price you’d pay elsewhere.
Steiner On GovX
GovX also lists Steiner Optics as a military and first responder discount brand, and the listing prints no percentage. GovX takes full-time and volunteer firefighters, and it counts EMTs and paramedics on its medical list, so you can check the GovX price against the dealer’s program price before you decide.
