Does anyone know if Meopta assembled the old Conquest 2.5-8x32 MC for Zeiss? If so, I wonder if we (with Doug’s help) could get them to crank them out again under their own brand? With the #4 reticle of course.

I would buy at least one. The Conquest 2.5-8x32 was my favorite scope.

I'd be up for any sensible lightweight scope from them, 4, 6, 2-7 or 2.5-8 X32 or 36

So....193 to go.

Don’t think they were as common as the 3-9x40, hardly ever see one for sale like the 3-9x40.

I would take one or two with their #4 reticle for sure.

If the price was right, I would take more than one.

I would take at least one but with the caveat that I would prefer a straight duplex. i had a Meopta 3-10 #4 and the center section of the reticle was too fine. It
disappeared in low light which is odd for a reticle designed for low light use. The three Zeiss 2.5-8's I have do not suffer this condition. It's a fine scope nonetheless.

Add another one or two. The conquest 2.5-8 while a little portly in the eyepiece and on the scale, would still be a great design to work from, in FFP, and yes, put a proper #4a in it.

Just paid big bucks for a 20-25yo euro #4 1.5-6x, not because it’s frankly “worth” that much, but because there are so few out there and we’re all competing for them. I have to believe, produced smartly, the scope proposed would be a net profit maker and more importantly to meopta (or whoever), establish the brand in the US market for actual hunters.

A scope like this should sell really well. (2.5-8X36) Say about 1/2 inch longer than a Leupold.
Not sure, why the manufacturing companies don't realize this.

If they were $400 or less with Meopta’s current #4 I’d take two. That reticle looks great for fast woods shooting and decent for hold overs to 300 with rounds in the 2400-2500 FPS range.

Pic originally posted by TxHunter80 on another thread. The thin part is supposed to disappear in low light. This is what makes the #4 great. If you’re relying on the fine center crosshairs, than the thick posts aren’t even needed and a duplex works just as well.
