I was planning on getting a meopta meostar 3x12x56 rg illuminated reticle tax free weekend, but a buddy has a brand new 3x12x56 zeiss conquest he'd sell me for $500. Thoughts? I know zeiss is good, but I've only looked into prices of meoptas since I decided on it.

Eta: I think I'm going to get it just to have, but I really want a meostar.

That's the price I bought mine for new less than a year ago, so yeah that's about right.

I'd take it and run. I recently purchased my scope after several months of deliberation on which to buy.

It came down to the MeoPro 4x12x50 for $549 vs the Conquest 3x12x56 for $599. The glass seemed a tad bit superior on the Conquest, but the weight of the 56mm was a bit much for my needs.

I'd buy the 50mm Conquest for $500 in a heartbeat. As a matter of fact, let me know your friends contact info if you don't buy it.

It's just an alright price... I'd spend the extra money and get a Zeiss Conquest 3-12x56.

Id say that's a good price. I doubt you find much of anything with Zeiss stamped on it for less than that.
