The wise thing to do is to always buy the most expensive item available. If you don't, and have problems, any number of people will be quick to tell you that "You get what you pay for". If you buy the most expensive, when the item fails, it will at least shut them up.

I think that a set of Meopta Meostars or Cabelas Euro (rebranded Meopta Meostar) are the "no brainer" answer to your question. There is a set of 8X42s listed on this forum at this link: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...-wts-meopta-meostar-b1-8x42#Post16387985If you are patient you can often find used Meostars in the 650 to 850 range. Obviously you wait longer for the low end of that range. I think the Meostars are the largest leap in quality for less money than any other out there. To me, and many other dolts of similar optical acuity, these are near-tier-one binocs at lower tier pricing. This. I haven’t even seen the tracts, but every fall I look through hunters’ Leica and Swarovskis. They are better than my non HD cabelas euros, but not that much and the price to get there is staggering.

Tract Toric are hard to beat for the money and can be had under 7 bills. This is the answer you seek. Yep

To me, and many other dolts of similar optical acuity, these are near-tier-one binocs at lower tier pricing. A couple years ago I picked up a set of MeoPro HD 10x42’s from Doug for an upcoming elk hunt. I’d done the usual research before hand and was well satisfied with the purchase. A few months after the trip I was at a gun show and spotted what I recognized as a pair of MeoStar 10x42’s. They weren’t priced but I picked them up just to check them out. The guy behind the table says “I haven’t used those in years, I’ll take $95 dollars for them”. Couldn’t get my wallet out any faster. I think I've seen your mugshot in the post office.

Meopta's MeoStar B1 Plus bino is a top-tier bino that won't let you down. Meopta glass is known for how well it functions in low light conditions and the MeoStar glass is the flagship of the Meopta bino line. I hunted all last year using the 8x42 MeoStar B1 Plus bino and I was thoroughly impressed. No bias at all, these binos worked great watching deer in the moonlight and were instrumental in helping me take a trophy 8-year-old buck. Meopta binos are definitely worth taking a look at and one of the reasons there are more and more Authorized Retailers out there. Meopta is also very supportive of LE/Mil/First Responders.
