OK, since no one wants to give a decent answer to the OP, I will weigh in. I do not own either scope, but have read lots of good stuff on the Meopta. However, there are lots of good reviews on the Arken, also, and personally know a dealer that puts them on the same level, quality-wise, with Athlon.
Keep bashing all you want, but the guy asked a legit question. Everybody thinks that they have to make a political statement to answer a question. I prefer to avoid China, also, but lots of this stuff is made in China through other companies, just like many other things. Like I said, I want to see what is left in the houses of all you flag wavers, when Chinese-sourced goods are removed. Unbelievable. LMAO at the stupidity.
