RE: New Meopta binocs, and Cabela's New Euopean Binocs
Yep those Meopta are a nice piece of glass..In fact there are several
Manufactures behind the "Iron Curtain"that make quality optics.
My sister bought a pair while she visited in the Czech Rep.And loves them.
Because of the dollar she didn't pay much for them either.....
Perfect for viewing/hunting within the legal hours in North America...
"And that what really counts."
If hunting in Europe or Africa I'd certainly be comfortable using them,but would probably would buy something better..
As good as the Zeiss Conquest, Khales, among others in that line including some Jap models such as Pentax SP and Nikon LX.
I have never tested against B&L Elite and Leupold GoldRing.So I couldn't tell how the measure up to them...
Swaro EL and Zeiss Victory,Leica, are far superior though but like you say they are twice as much.....
If you like them and they're in your budget buy them..You won't be disappointed..
