Well I bit the bullet after all the positive reviews here and there, I finally bought a serious pair of binocs. Was looking at the Meopro 10x42 on sale for $379 but saw the tracts on Black Friday sale for $574 so I took a the leap of faith into top tier.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Dre,
Exact same scenario here. I had the Meoptas bookmarked for that great price, then saw the Torics and picked them up.
Happy Thanksgiving

Toric binos are superb, and I still say they are as good a bang for the buck as anything made under $1500.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I almost grabbed the Torics last Thanksgiving, and spent a year regretting it. I don’t know if I have a great mind, but the coincidence is almost scary!

Nothing wrong with the Meopros but the Torics are a step up. Imo, the $200 extra was well spent for the long haul

Thanks txhunter I needed to hear that I had them both in 8x at the same time. I don't you can do better for $379 than the Meopro but the Toric performs like a $1k binocular. What were you using?

If you like the Toric binos as much as I like my Toric scope, then you have a great mind. I hope so. I usually have a little anxiety when buying glass I haven't had a chance to try out. I've yet to read anything negative about them, so I'm very encouraged. TXhunter, that's good to hear. Dre, I hope to never meet you on a hunt; we will probably be stalking the same animal.

I have 10X42 Leica Ultravids and 12.5X50 Toric and I prefer the Toric.
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

I have the 8x42 and very pleased. Only "negative" I've found is now I need more of their products!! I don't think you will regret your purchase. rookie

Well let’s see. Are your current binocs Nikon monarchs? If so maybe you’re my lost twin brother. Txhunter My correct binocs are 12 year old monarch that have served me well. My daughter has monarch 7 8x30 and I really, really like the size and quality of these little things where I use them I’ve my 10x42
