    A Meopta Meostar 8x32 B1.1 with a Serial number starting with 160xxx ?

    Good information John....that shows you given the quality and optics of the Meostar 8x32 line (since 2005) , that perhaps optics has pretty much reached a point where you don't need those real expensive Alpha's anymore as what you get for the money, just isn't worth it. I will take the Meostar...

    A Meopta Meostar 8x32 B1.1 with a Serial number starting with 160xxx ?

    I think we see very few Meostar's (B1, B1.1 or even the Plus) on sale here or on Ebay and that shows you how great those bins are... Have em, hold em.... jim

    A Meopta Meostar 8x32 B1.1 with a Serial number starting with 160xxx ?

    My second pair of B1.1's has a nice focuser too... my first was a bit choppy but since then I learned that it is fixed pretty easy. Someone on this site has spoken to it, thus, if I want another pair, I know how to adjust...

    A Meopta Meostar 8x32 B1.1 with a Serial number starting with 160xxx ?

    My B1.1 starts with 20, so a later version but perfectly sharp. An excellent 8x32 B1.1. In fact at the same time I viewed another 8x32 but returned it since I didn't like the focus mechanism but in terms of sharpness, again...tack on.

    A Meopta Meostar 8x32 B1.1 with a Serial number starting with 160xxx ?

    To. me....'mint' in the Meostar 8x32 rests upon the focus wheel.... some of them are clunkier than others. When I bought mine thru Sports Optics in LA, I had them check a few of their stock to find the best one. An outfit like that, is more than willing to do so, which they did.... which...

    A Meopta Meostar 8x32 B1.1 with a Serial number starting with 160xxx ?

    It is a crap-shoot getting a Meostar that has no issues with the focus wheel being stiff, chunky/ clunky etc... Not sure what to call it. But I went thru a few which I sent back before I found a good pair. That is why I am so hesitant about buying any used B1.1 I find here or on Ebay, since the...

    A Meopta Meostar 8x32 B1.1 with a Serial number starting with 160xxx ?

    I am not near my Meostar B1.1 as it is across country but will check on the serial number in a month when I return. But I purchased mine during the height of COVID,...I suppose around May of 2019. Will check on the serial number but I have a 'good one'.... jim
