Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Meopta Artemis vs Zeiss Conquest

I've been upgrading my scopes this spring and have ONE left to deal with. I'm currently bouncing back and forth between the Meopta Artemis 3000 (3-9x42 30mm) and the Zeiss Conquest (3-9x40 1"), although if I could ever get any field reports on the Vortex Viper it might enter the picture. Any thoughts on a comparison between these two scopes? It'll be going on a 22-250 that sees quit a bit of action as a deer rifle inside of 150 yards.

The Meopta is pretty short on eye relief, particularly compared to that model Conquest. It's also not a top Meopta. In my estimation you need to step up to the Meostar line to get on the same level as the Conquest.

I've got a Meostar 3-10 and a Conquest 3-9 and between those two I think the Meopta is a little better scope, but I wasn't sure on the Artemis. Eye relief is not an issue for me. If anything I like a shorter eye relief because I'm a stock creeper, that and a 22-250 doesn't kick. So eye relief is a non-issue for me. Have you actually used an Artemis?

I haven't hunted with a Meopta, but I have compared them with the Zeiss as the light went down. I was pleased with the brightness and clarity of the Meostars, but put off by their eye relief and bulk. The Artemis was a step down.

I have a meostar 3-10 that I love and I agree with you compared to my 4-5 conquests it is better optically.

With where I am going with my optics and battery I think I am going to sell it but no doubt it is one heck of a scope.

I really like the conquest 3-9X40, a really nice scope.

Artemis series is discontinued.
From 1st hand experience - I tested several (too, I own some Artemis 2000 and Meostar, in 50 mm and 56 mm, though)
and see it one class down, compared to Meostar series.
