FOs and RD, if you fellows do that comparison, please do share your impressions. I'd be VERY interested.
I'm hoping, although it's a long shot, that maybe, just maybe, there will be some R2's at Meopta's booth at the Harrisburg PA outdoor show that starts this weekend. I won't get there till next weekend, but I will stop by with the Meopta folks and see what I can learn there.

Euro Optics will be there, but Meopta has their own booth, at least according to the iphone app for the show that I downloaded so I could plan out my visit.
Looks like Meopta is booth 350 and Euro Optics is at 357.

I would love that as well Fost. I'll try and make that work.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I guess I would be partial to Meopta variables over Leup based on recent comments here if for no other reason. but I am going to try some fixed scopes for a while.

i saved my pennies to try out the 2-12x leupold. IMO it was inferior to my 2-12x burris both in the eye box and optically, but now the burris is difficult to run across

one area most all of them could do better with is holding zero and getting the parallax set correctly in my opinion.

I like graduated turrets more than the BT set up. With that one, you just have three settings, usually at 100 yd intervals. In between distances are a guess. At LR, as the bullet develops more drop, seems to me that could become a problem.

I own 4 VX-6 'scopes. Each has been perfect so far - long term I do not expect any problems. A hunting partner has two - they have been perfect. The four VX-6 2-12's (his and mine)are on heavy caliber hunting rifles. My 3-18 X 50 and 4-24 X 52are on long range P-dog/G-squirrel rifles where their ability to zoom down to find the target is a real advantage. The VX-6 'scopes have such excellent resolution that often I forget or do not feel the need to zoom up to maximum magnification.
Pleased - I think they are extremely good value. I have owned the Euro brands and today can see no reason to own them ... again. BTW - my favorite Leupold 'scope is still the VX-3 3.5-10 X 40 ...

What QC issues are there with the VX-6? Is it more of a form or function issue? I am in the market for a Z-3, but the VX-6 is right there, and would really like to buy US.
Thanks
