[QUOTE="bbckfh, post: 1521567, member: 100810"] Well, most likely not many have used these. More searching reveals fairly glowing reviews for the Meopta Meostar line, which seems to be their top of the line model, and a step up from the Meopro, which is what the Cabela's-labeled Euro binoculars are (if I read this correctly). More importantly, I can get those Meostars for $200+ cheaper than the Leupolds. Seems like a no brainer to me? Weight: 23.6 oz (L) vs 31.6 oz (M)... That's not insignificant.
