gr8fuldoug Report post Posted September 29, 2020 I'd say they are better than a Meopro and almost a Meostar but not quite on par with the Meostar 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CDjunkie Report post Posted October 12, 2020 Update on the Kowas, I am returning them. They are terrible. I put them side by side by some Vortex viper hds 12x50s and the vortex are way better and clearer. The Kowas are only clear in the middle about (guessing) 60% and the rest is very blurry on the outside. I would not recommend them. I was disappointed. So I'm still shopping for some 12s under $1000. Hope this helps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CDjunkie Report post Posted October 13, 2020 I agree, after looking through my brothers vipers 12x50s, they weren't bad at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
