Meopta meostar 15×56 or swarovski slc

[Btmann45]

Hey guys I have been looking for a really good pair of 15x binos or something along thoes lines for my prs shooting. I dont know much about Meopta. What has been your all experience? Do they have much of warranty? Also been looking at swarovski but from what I have heard these are like 95% atleast and several hundred $ cheaper. What do you guys recomend?? Thanks

Optically they are probably passable though only a blind salesman would claim 95% Swaro. Ask if you really need more China made crap.

I want the best gear I can get at the best price I can get it. Yea I would rather not have China stuff but its unavoidable in the world we live in. I would rather have swarovski but I dont have a local dealer an I would rather not pay full retail online. Maybe I can trade a few primers for them

I would look at the Maven, specifically B series 15x56 binocs. No chicoms involved. Checked out pair belonging to friend. Very surprised. Not Swaro, but a lot less.

I got a set of Swaro SLC 10x42's from Doug in July, they are amazing glass and you won't regret the purchase!

I literally did that. Sold primers and bought a PMII and ZCO

Did you just elude to Meopta being made in China?

I was lost on this as well.

Meopta products are made in the Czech Republic, NOT China. And I would seriously doubt you're missing a wind call or trace inside 1000y just because you're behind a set of Meoptas...
Are the SLC's nicer? of course, but to say the Meopta Meostar B1's are chicom trash is fucking dense.

I looked through a pair at a local match and thought they looked really nice I didn't have swarovski to compare them to but hey. For the guys using the binos for prs would you go 10x or 15x

I was wondering that with their scopes. The Optika 6 scopes are not labeled as "Made in Czech" but the MeoStar line is. So I guess some kind of OEM must be at work here!?

The last time I was in the Czech Republic, I dont remember seeing any Chinese communists. Maybe they were hiding in the Meopta factory. Idk.. I did however, see some of the sexiest blondes I've ever seen when I wasn't buying working dogs or drinking beer.

@OP Best place to know is YouTube.

It explains everything.

Meopta IS the OEM

 

[Guthwine]

Then why would they not label their own products as "made in czech"? Or better why do they label some but not others? That just looks suspicious to me, but I could very well be wrong.
