Went to Cabela's website today and noticed that Zeiss, Leica and Swarovski jumped their prices $50-$100 on their bins and scopes, apparently since the first of the year. As usual, Swarovski led the price points, but Leica and Zeiss have narrowed the 'gap'--European optics pricing continues to amaze me! Great stuff, but ouch!!!!!

Prices on European optics have traditionally gone up every year. I agree with you, great stuff, but ouch!!!!
Check out the pricing of some of the other non-European bins. I thought that I noticed a few of the Leupold models with a price increase....and not the ones with the upgrades in terms of coatings or designs.
