Vortex Viper HD or Meopta Meostar 10x42

[tlsmith22]

I am looking for a pair of smaller binos for my blind bag when duck hunting. I have Swaro SLC 10x42 for big game hunting. I don’t want to spend a lot on these because they will always be in a harsh environment. They will always be somewhat wet, somewhat muddy and being beat around in a boat. Doug at Cameraland has been great in the past to work with and I’m sure he still will if I decide on the Meopta. I probably cant go wrong with either and they are pretty close to the same price. Just wanted some real reviews from people who had em.

i do not own the meopta 10x42s but i have looked through a few...i have also looked through the viper HDs and i do own the meopta meostar 15x56s...buy the meoptas .

IMO, The Meopro would be a fairer comparison to a Viper HD (and I'd choose the Meopro). We can put you in a 10x42 or 8x42 MeoPro this weekend for only $399.99. The MeoStar would be a faired comparison to their Razor HD's.
Give us a call this weekend and we will put you into the MeoStar 10x42's for $829.99

That was supposed to be meopro. It was a typo

Again, at our sale price of $399.99 the 8x42 and the 10x42 Meopro's are the best deal going

I looked through both recently. I'd lean towards the Meopta. Or maybe look at a pair of used Steiner Military binos.

If I didn't already have a pair, I'd jump on the Camera land sale!

I got the 10x42 meopro last summer. I have compared to the viper HD (a friend has them).
Doug's comments are spot on, go Meopta.

I did order the Meopro from Doug at Cameraland, they are as good as described, especially for the price.
