Reading through the forum, keeping my mind off of other things in life, and was curious......am I correct in understanding that the Meopta Meostars and the Cabela Euro bins are the exact same bin? The only difference literally is that the euro bins are badged with Cabelas name and under Cabelas warranty?
Yes, it should be here, I think Frank had it, but look with a search.
Miss Lulubelle,
Either on Cabela's Website or one of their postings on a hunting optics forum, I read that they are basically the same bins (except for the removal of the "warts"), but the Cabela version has lesser coatings.
They didn't go into detail about what that meant, but since coatings are one of the main things that separates the curly wolf roof from the girly man roof, I would confirm that with Cabela's before purchasing. Might not be worth the saving$.
I see you are still stuck at 403. I saw a new "lifer" at a nearby duck pond the other day. I was surprised with all the LOUD noise and banging going on across the street with heavy construction that he wasn't frightened away.
Good to have around if your can opener breaks down :-):

I watched it for about 5 minutes (wind was strong so I had to "dig in" the side of the pond to get a steady view). He didn't budge an inch the entire time, but stood still as a statue.
Apparently, Blue Herons are on the rise in my neck of the woods:
