    Meopta 15x56 or Zeiss Conquest 15x56?

    Trying to decide which to buy. I have the 8x32 Cabelas/ Meopta and that is a serious piece of work, I would place it up against any Euro glass. I have the zeiss conquest 10x42 and the glass is A+ as well, but the Meoptas far exceed the zeiss mechanically. I have had a lot of problems with the zeiss eye cups. I have read reviews that others are having the eye cup problems with the Zeiss 15x56 also. So I am leaning towards the Meopta. What do you guys think?

      I haven’t looked through a Zeiss conquest, so can’t comment on their quality. I have looked through Meopta 15x56 binoculars next to Swarovski 15x56 at the same time. I was extremely impressed with how close the Meopta was to my Swarovski. Clarity/sharpness was basically identical. The Meopta fell off a little more at the edges and had a little less contrast. Overall, I thought they were great glass.

        I don’t think you can go wrong with either of those. But Whatever you do just don’t get the vortex their 15x56 is absolute garbage. I wouldn’t see deer past 500yds cause the heat distortion was so . I could score bucks a 800 with my 10x42 swarovision in my hand that I couldn’t even locate with the vortex 15s on a tripod

          I had to send my Zeiss Conquests back for eye cup issues. Meopta might be the better option

            Yep, think so, I am beyond satisfied with my Cabelas / Meopta 8x32s. I still have not been able to get my Zeiss eye cups to work right. I got drawn for my bucket list Arizona Coues deer hunt Unit 27. Looks like the Meopta 15x56 got the job.
            Thanks guys.

              Have you looked at tract optics?
              I’ve got the 10x42. And wow.
              High-power binoculars for PRS shooters are becoming the go-to for certain events as they provide better downrange vision and better intel.
              All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

                I like my Zeiss Conquest 8X42.
                I also like my Meopta 10X42 binos.
                Either would be good
                A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

                        Mavens might be a good option as well at a similar price point.
