I have two Meoptas and I think they are fantastic scopes. One is a Meopro 3-9x40 that I bought refurbished from eurooptic.com. It sits atop my big game rifle (.270). And it still carries a lifetime warranty. The other is a Cabela's Instinct Euro 4.5-14x44 - simply a rebranded Meopro - that I just picked up for my new CZ 527 .17 Hornet. Many may know that Meopta actually made the original Conquest MC for Zeiss. I believe Zeiss put a different reticle in the MC than the Meopta-branded Meopros at the time, but that should tell you something about the quality right there. Good luck with your search and I'd say buy with confidence if you decide to go Meopta.
