get him meopta meopro or a monarch if you wanna spend a little less

all leupolds 25% off at Bowie's if you really wanna go back to them.

I bought a Zeiss Conquest last week at Optics Planet for $379

3-9X40

originally ordered a Meopta Meopro 3-9x42 but it was back ordered.

as much as you pimp meoptas on here you must get a higher commission for selling them.

1. Don't get commission.
2. Every single scope manufacturer has some sort of spiff. I sell em all. I pimp them because they have top notch glass and coatings for a fraction of the price of Swarovskis and the like. In terms of best glass for the money, they can't be beat. I've had 2 meoptas come back since we picked them up. 2.

Meopta has European glass (Swarovski, Zeiss, Kahles) but it's made in Czech, and the US has some sort of tax treaty with them.

Burris Fullfield 2, Burris Fullfield 2 E1, and Zeiss Conquest, all 3-9x40 with duplex reticles, are what I have, and none have failed me. Conquest probably has the best glass of the 3.
