The warranty is worthless. I bought 10x42 euro HDs from cabelas instead of getting Meoptas because I counted on the support being better. My experience showed the opposite is true, and Meopta US is GREAT even if you have cabelas branded products.
Long story short, lost an eyecup off my binos, contacted cabelas, they first sent me a link to buy a cover. After getting them to understand what I wanted, I was told they would not replace it (understandable, I lost if by unscrewing it too far) and, furthermore, I could not buy a replacement piece because they "don't disclose their vendors."
This persisted even after I told them their vendor was Meopta.
One call to Meopta US and I had 2 eyecups sent to me for free. Now Meopta will get a good look for any binos or spotting scopes I want in the future, and I will not step foot in cabelas.
