I just go a good deal on a used Cabel's Euroscope in 3x9x42 which is a Meopta scope with a different name. Cabela's even advertises them as made by Meopta and the scope has a Meopta label on it as well. Compared to my VX 3 2.5x8x36 it sure looks like better glass to me. That being said, you won't beat the deal on the Meopta 3.5x10x44 that Doug from Cametrland has on special.
