The quality you get for your $ is impressive with Meopta optic's. I have been doing some freelance work with them for 9 months and I am impressed with the products. To my eyes, definitely better clarity than the VX3 and less expensive. If you want a scope loaded with features check out the Optika6 line. 30mm tube, awesome light transmission, great clarity and built tough. I used the 3-18 this past deer seaosn and had notihng but 1 shot stops. I loaned the rifle to a new hunter and he went 2 for 2 as well. Meopta has a new for 2020 Optika5 coming out that will be 5X zoom and have a 1 inch tube. The price will be less than the 6's as well. If you really want to be impressed check out the MeoStar line of bino's.Here's my Optika6 3-18 FFP
