So I got an R1 scope for this year now I'm wanting to up grade my binos. Anyone have or ever used the meopta B1's?? if they are as clear as the scopes I would love them. Any help ??

The meostars are fine. I sent you a pm

Replied.

I'm sporting a pair of meostars right now. They is nice!

And hell no vortex don't even come close

How do they compare with Swaro or Leica? I know the price difference, but curious about performance.

I couldn't tell ya that

Most people agree that they run just about neck and neck with Swarovski SLC's and Leica trinovids...... But nothing can touch the Swaro EL's or the Leica geovids.
The meostars fit my hands and head better than any other glasses I've looked through including Swarovski EL's. I know they can't compete with them at very last light but they are very close and half the price. Meopta's warranty is as good as Swarovski's and much better than Leica's

What every one else said x2! I bought the meostar b1 8x32 just last year. I dont know what your currently using, but I think you would be more than happy with the meopta meostar line. I dont have any experience with the meopro series. I do know that I can see details with meopta 8x32 that I cant see with my pentax 10x42 dcf. Glass quality trumps magnification of this particular lower quality pentax series.

I also noticed I dont get eye fatigue as quickly with the meopta when im glassing for longer periods of time. That is definitely due to better glass quality. Which part of the glass quality makes for less eye fatigue? I honestly dont know, but I do know the performance increase in measurable over my cheaper binoculars.

Currently using pair of Swarovski SLC 8x30 since my 10x42's walked off. Going to sell 8x30's and was planning on replacing with another pair of Swarovski or Leica 10x42. However the Meopta Meostar caught my attention at $1000-$1500 less. My main concern with the Meopta's is whether or not they perform as well at last light.

I will be purchasing a pair of the 10x42 meostar this year. From what I seen they perform great.

270 WSM I think about the only way you would ever be able to tell much of a difference would be trying to read a sign or an eyechart or something at last light.
I had a pair of 10X42 SLC's that I bought used. They were a couple years old so they may have improved a tad but I honestly liked the meostars better in every way.

I bought a new pair of the Meopta Meostar B1 10 x 42 HD last year.

Awesome bino's for the money.

I love mine.

Can you tell much difference in the hd version?

Yes you can tell a difference right at dark. The HD's are sharper in low light

you were suppose to say no. now I will be trying to talk myself in to upgrading. thanks a lot

I may know a guy that's got 2 pairs Joe

text sent!

I have never used the non HD version. I can tell you that the HD's are very sharp and clear.

I'd not hesitate to buy another pair if something happened to these.

Vortex does make a pair of binocs that are pretty impressive the 10X42 Razor HD. They is expensive.
