Does anyone know if this changed recently? They were previously the same as the Meopta BDC, but when looking at the Cabelas web site the link for their EXT is different. Anyone looked at one of these recently? I'd much prefer the BDC and the sale price is a screaming good deal.

I don't know what the old one looked like. But I bought one about a year ago when they were on sale for $279 and I had a $99 off coupon. I like the scope enough that I ordered another now that they are $250. I only had a $10 off coupon this time. That scope with that reticle sold for over $600 when it had the Zeiss badge on it.


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

That scope never had the Zeiss badge on it. Meopta assembled Zeiss Conquest scopes with Zeiss parts and to the specs dictated by Zeiss. While the Meopta MeoPro and Zeiss Conquest scopes may have similarities, they are not -- and never were -- the same.

The Cabela's scope you are referencing is basically a re-badged Meopta...and those are some very nice scopes.

The 2 I purchased within the last month both have the Meopta BDC reticle. I had the same concerns as you but I thought why would they change the reticle just for Cabelas. I think Cabelas just isn't smart enough to to post a picture of the correct reticle.
