Meopta 10X42 LR: Best Bino/Rangefinder Value?

A hunter's best sense is his eyes. Therefore, a quality binocular is must-have gear for hunters. Once game is found, making an ethical shot is paramount, and so a laser-rangefinder is also must-have. But bouncing back and forth between the bino and the rangefinder before shooting can waste valuable time and cost opportunities at game. By consolidating the two pieces of gear into one unit, you can save carry weight, time from glass to gun, and, ultimately, money. While there are about a half-dozen top-notch laser rangefinding/binocular units on the market, Meopta's MeoPro Optika LR is quite possibly the glass of the class in terms of value (i.e. cost divided by quality). Costing significantly less than a comparable European units, but notably better than those from Japan and China, the MeoPro can be used for everything from long range shooting (2600 yard max) to bowhunting (5 yard minimum). It's crystal clear, precise and as tough as a two-dollar steak, all for under $1,500. Is it perfect? Nope, but it's pretty darn close. See JJ's full review here.
