Who is making the best warranty, features, glass, etc... 3-10/12/14 power? What say you forum? The .270 is the greatest hunting catridge ever designed. To dispute this fact is to only justify our loonieism in owning and hunting with inferior cartridges.

OP Butler247 Campfire Regular B Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 742 Red River, Oklahoma	Never heard of meopta. I’ll check them out. I have leupold, Nikon, vortex, but I’m interested to see where all the love is now a days. I’ve seen lot of leupy bashing lately and I’m not a fan or China glass even though lots probably use them without notice. The .270 is the greatest hunting catridge ever designed.

Meopros / Zeiss conquest / cavelas instinct all assembled in USA. All the same great scopes, just different badging. Some will pay a little more for the name, and in the end that one will sell for a higher dollar amount as well, if you care about resale value. If you don't care about such things, buy the one that says "Cabela's" on the side of it.. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

Available also in 4 x 16 and 6 x 24..... with MOA and MIL reticles... I'm not a scope snob...
