Thought you said you loved those so why are you getting rid of them 

[CatfishKev]

I do love them.  I need to drum up cash.

Sell them. Then when you buy again buy Swarovski even the non HD 15's are worth every penny

I'd buy these before I bought the non HD Swarovski.  You can find them cheaper and I believe outperform the non HDs.

I've compared them to the non hds and I believe these win. I couldn't tell a difference in clarity really but the meopta were definitely brighter.

I did the same thing....in a side by side comparison the Meopta were as clear and much brighter especially when glassing into the shade. Both pair were brand new. I kept the Meopta and sold the Swarovski’s.

Well I've never looked through the Meopta. I'm gonna have to check them out!

They are nice dude. I wish meopta made their own version of the Swaro EL. Been thinking about switching to 12s eventually.

Same exact thoughts here. Now HD Swsro vs HD Meoptas different story. but non HD slc not nearly as bright as cabelas Euro or Meopta hd.

Have you done comparisons?

[no worries]

Great price on awesome glass. I’d be all over them if I didn’t already have a couple pairs.

I have compared the 15x56 Meopta (Cabelas) HD (which I own) to Swaro SLC 15x56 (both HD and non-HD) side by side for hours glassing up deer in the desert.  

My ratings:

1.  Swaro SLC 15x56HD

2.  Meopta 15x56HD (just because the outer 10% was a bit less clear and slightly "fish eyed")

3.  Swaro SLC 15x56 non-HD 

For this price, it is a no-brainer to pick up the Meopta 15x56HD.

I have too Lance including lots of poor light stacking. Was curious at some of the commenters experience as it appears there's a lot of guessing going on.

I have the Meopta's...

Yes same as what Lance said above.

I try and compare as many as possible at least once a year sxs. i have let the regular slc go multiple times while hanging onto my Meopta's when some cash was needed. Right now I am selling either my HD swaro or Meopta HD and although HD swaro better I will not be heart broken to keep my Meopta/Cabela's HD. Have them in 10, 12, 15. the 8's I don't like in Cabela's euro for ergonomics reasoning.
