This is just a heads up for those looking for new American assembled binoculars. Meopta used to be THE binocular after Leupold discontinued the gold ring. I finally broke down and bought the Meopro 8x42 HD. Well, they are no longer assembled in the USA. I called Meopta, and they claim they have been made in Czech for over 2 years now, even though they advertize as being American made on their website.
Hopefully this saves someone some time, the only American options anymore are used Leupolds, or Maven. I guess I'll pony up the $900 for the Maven B1.
