Has anyone compared these 8x42s side by side? I’ve never looked through the tract but hear great things about the 8x version. I’ve been spooked by their d2c model

Can't comment on the Meostar but I've been using the Tract Toric 8x42 and I really like them and would recommend them without hesitation. Great binos! rookie

I have tried both(Meostars and Tract Toric). Wanted very much to like the Tract Torics. Many a member here rave about the Torics. I bought them and compared them over about a weeks time in varying light conditions. I just couldn’t see what all the hype was about. The Torics just didn’t do it for me. To my eyes the Meostars are better.

I have the Toric Ultra HD 10X42...They are pretty damn good and built like tank. I got a demo pair for $650 - At 1k they would still be a good deal.

I have had the Toric UHD as well as the Schott HT (current bino). Buddy has the Meostar. They’ll both do whatever I need, but my eyes preferred the Meostar ever so slightly. That said, my wallet preferred the Toric by a much bigger margin.
