RE: Cabela's Euro Binos
The Cabelas' euro are indeed made by meopta. They do compare favourable with the Big 4. But if I was not concerned about money, I would opt for the Swaro EL or Nikon Premier LXL. However Meopta optics are incredible, even more so when you comare pricing. I looked through them at cabela's and was blown away. It beat everything in it's price range and you needed to spend 3-400 more to better the quality.
Only bummer is Cabela's only offers 10X. Meopta has all sizes but they are more expensive. For instance the Meopta Meostar 10x42 is around $879.99 mail order. The same bino is $799.99 as a Cabela's item
