MeoStar B1 8x42
MeoStar B1.1 8x32
MeoStar B1.1 10x32
MeoStar B1.1 7x50
MeoStar B1.1 10x50
MeoStar B1.1 12x50 HD
MeoStar B1.1 8x56
MeoStar B1.1 15x56 HD
MeoStar B1 Plus 8x32
MeoStar B1 Plus 8x42
MeoStar B1 Plus 8x56
MeoStar B1 Plus 10x42 HD

When are the B1 Plus line supposed to be released? Can't find much on them.

With the delays everywhere due to Covid I'd say after hunting season starts. Maybe October/November

What’s the B1 Plus supposed to change?
Thanks for the heads up JG, Meopta is one of my Go to’s these days.

The B1Plus is a totally new design and upgrade as well as going to run about 30% more than the current Meostar line

I bought one of the Artimes 1.5-6x40mm w/German #1 that Doug had last fall, while heavy it is a great scope for calling coyotes, wish they hadn't gone away.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I’m not familiar with the B1 line. How do they fit in with the meopro/optika/meostar lines?

I’d like to get my hands on the 10x50hd. I hope they are going the extra mile with the B1 Plus. A 30% price increase at a time that the SLCs price decreased is going to be a matchup.

That's it Scott. It's not a friction adjust thing anymore.

I've been on the search for a really good 8x42 for a while now, and don't want Chinese stuff, and don't want high $$$ Swaros.

Doug, do you know if the edge clarity is addressed on the 12X plus? With the delays everywhere due to Covid I'd say after hunting season starts. Maybe October/November

JG, you have any experience with the Leupy BX-5 binos? Keep in mind my eyeballs are 59 yrs old, but i couldn't see much difference in the BX4 and BX5 in 10x42's. My Louisiana buddy has each one. They are both very nice though but to me I'm not sure they're worth the extra $$$. Just my opinion.

Maybe October/November My Mom used to say "Believe 1/3 of what you hear and 3/4 of what you see". I've only heard what I'be been told by folks at Meopta so I'll believe 1/3 of that and take a wait to see position. I would like to think at a substantial price increase they will be a great improvement on what i already feel is a super optic
