I used to have it written down because my Meopro's are the same way. Got tired of it finally and called Meopta. They sent me normal turrets so I threw away what I had written down.

Concerning warranty work I assume you would bring it to Cabela's. I've only sold one in the year I've worked there and have never had one come back so I don't know.

Yes,Cabela's will replace warrany work with a new replacement scope.
I have done some sub-contract work in my past and with the money and the clout they have, they could go to any of the big manufactures and have them make a scope just for them.

I believe the cabelas line is built by Barak's and then the price is inflated several hundred to times over

I bought an Alaska Guide scope 3.5-10x50AO 30mm back in 2001/2. Made in Japan. Glass is good but its a heavy sum a gum. I recall what I paid for it but back then I doubt I would have paid more than $300 for a scope. I had it for 2 years on my ABolt 3006 but replaced it. I put the scope in a box in the closet and there its been since. I think I will give it to my younger cousin forva few drinks and a steak dinner at deer camp as he was bellering about a 50mm AO last year. I tried to tell him to tell him he should get 40mm but you cant train then at that age they have to have what their buddies all have. Probably how I rendered the decision to get it in the first place.

Well, he does know more than you do apparently. The "Instinct" and "Euro" models are/were made for Cabelas by Meopta.

True, but the OP has the Cabelas outfitter model which is not made by Meopta

My mistake as I should have said those two were the only Cabelas scopes made by Meopta.

I honestly can't believe this post is still rolling. That scope is NOT made by Meopta, and anyone that says that is not being insulting. It is a good scope for the money so I'm sure it will work out just fine for you.

It looks to me that the Cabela's Instinct/ Euro ( Meopta )
made line has better glass in it then the Cabela's Outfitter line of scopes,CDB if you put a Euro 6-18x50 and a Outfitter 6-18x50 side by side they look the same but the Euro is 1.5" longer and weights more.

I've never seen the Outfitter line, but the Instinct/Euro line are basically he same as the Zeiss Conquest (the original Conquests) scopes.

We don't carry the Outfitter at our store so I cannot compare, but that makes sense. Looks like the only Meopta at the store is the Euro.
