Some fine member of society borrowed my Cabelas meopta binos out of my truck right before season. On a whim, I bought a pair of Leica rangfinding binos. They were on sale from 1500 to 1200. My old rangefinder is a relic from the bush administration so it was time for an upgrade.

Initial thoughts while unboxing at the office were "these seem nice". Got the diopters diled in, good to go.

The real test is in the field. Here i sit in my stand glassing some doe at 180 yds unhappy with these binoculars. The resolution is crap unless you are in the very center of the field of view. The edges are terrible. A spike (maybe) came out at 250. I honestly can't tell if he was a tall spike or a four point. The rangefinder seems nice.

Am I overreacting? Am I just spoiled from the meoptas? Seriously thinking about returning these if I can.

Did you focus them correctly?
