Meopta Meostar 10x42 HD/Cabelas Euro HD

Does anyone own the above binocular and have you used it lots hunting? How has it performed? They seems to get suburb reviews on bird forum most seem to place them on par with the Zeiss Conquest HD and Vortex Razor HD with the nod going to personal preference issues.

Looking to seriously upgrade my glass for this coming season and Cabelas has the Euro HD (identical to Meostar HD except for badging and minor armour differences) on sale for $250 off right now.

I'm looking for some binos right now as well. There are just so many choices and then the price ranges for me are from affordable to deciding which of my children isn't going to university.

Well going into Cabela's and trying out several pairs of binos for the third time in a week I bought a 10x42 Euro HD. They just barely seemed to edge out the Conquest HD optically, but I think it is because I could hold the in a more comfortable fashion.

The difference between the Euro HD/Conquest HD and the Alphas (Swaro EL SV, Zeiss SF, Leica UV+) is shockingly small, where as the difference between the $200-$700 ish binoculars and the ConquestHD/Euro HD is shockingly large! $1069.99 is a bargain for these binos as both the Meostar HD and Euro HD retail for $1200 USD.
