I have a pair of 8x32 Bushnell Legends and am looking to upgrade to a little stronger power and better quality glass. I'm looking at the Cablela's Euro Binoculars 10x42. I've read a lot of reviews that they hold their own against other European glass. The run $800 so I'm strongly considering them. Anybody like them or not like them?

The only thing I wonder about is who makes the binoculars for Cabels's? No doubt they have a great reputation, but they don't make the binoculars themselves.

I believe that Meopta makes them for Cabelas.

If that's the case,they are quality optics...

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

I own a pair of the Meopta Meostars 10X42 I purchased them from Alex at eur0optic.com I think I paid $750, and I couldn't be happier. Great optics, great price, and great service from Alex. Check them out.

Thats a high money range, if i was you i would pick up Burris Fullfield II, its way more cheaper and has a good quality glass. The Swaro EL are also very high recommendable at a high price, i dont know if i would pay that much more for little difference.
