Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Cabelas Meopta

I bought cabelas euros quite a while ago. A year ago or so I sent them to meopta for alignment and then they found something else as well. They charged me 250. I have to say they came back looking absolutely new. I had to check the serial number to see if they were really mine. I think quite a few parts were replaced. The invoice is in Czech so I can’t read it.

In my opinion I could not have gotten any near this quality for 250. Yes it was not fun paying for something that should have had a warranty but that is with cabelas and bps not meopta.

I will say Erik at meopta USA was very easy to deal with and I only paid shipping to him in Florida. They handled getting them to and back from Czech Republic.

I won’t tell anyone not to buy good glass. But these are pretty dang good glass for 250.

Again not an ideal situation but it was a good option given the bps debacle.

They were gone at least 3 months. But Erik was very upfront about that too.

I will not be shopping at either cabelas or bps again.

Much better options.

Cabelas used to be a very fine company. Used to be is the proper term. Had a credit card of theirs fo many years, no more.

Didn't Cabela's/BPS buy out Sportsman's Warehouse, also?

Didn’t go through.

EXACTLY.

SW/Bass Pro/Cabelas are probably great if you live in the Midwest, the Great Plains, New England, the Rocky Mountains, and the deep South. But if you live in western Washington or Oregon, then you're on your own. Not enough blacktail deer, Roosevelt elk, or salmon to make it worth their while...

I get Cabela's cards for birthdays and Christmas but they're not the first place I look for gear.
