I would choose the Leupold 3.5-10. Why,cause I like that scope.

Can’t speak to the Meopta, but the 3.5-10 B&C works great with 160’s in the neighborhood of 2,900-3,000fps. A 200yd zero has the 300/400/450yd aiming points being really close.

I have the Leup 3.5-10 with a CDS on my 7mm SAUM and a Leup 2.5-8 on my 7mm RM. I've considered swapping the 2.5-8 for a B&C ret.

Given my bad experiences with the last 2 Leupold variables, I’d vote for the Meopta. I’ve got several older 3.5-10 Leupolds that are rock solid and love their B&C reticle. Just wish their new stuff was higher quality.
