In a non scientific test yesterday evening,I think my Leupolds,and Conquests are going to get a real run for their money. After I shoot it,I'll report back on tracking,and repeatibility.

I don't still have my Meostar to do a direct comparison with but I don't think there is much difference between those two either. Right on par with my Conquests and Minox in my opinion. I suspect the prices are set to rise on these once the word gets out a little more. I bought into Meopta early and was able to get nice binoculars and a great spotting scope for substantially less than anything you can directly compare them to as well. Consider me a fan I guess.

Be good for longrange though.

The glass to my eyes was better than the conquest. Love the larger FOV too. The plex to me is perfect. My blind azz never lost the ability to see it when the light faded away.
