[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1709620, member: 103369"] They are a good scope. The old zeiss conquests were made by meopta with previous generation coatings, but the same glass as the newer meoptas, which have enhanced coatings on them, and are a little brighter in my twilight tests. (any of the meoptas I tried, and even the 3-9x40 old conquests are brighter and more useable in low light than the VX3i 3.5-10x50 that I tested.) The R2 meoptas are a little brighter yet. the true alpha stuff still beats them handily though, which is predictable .... for example, a 20 year old kahles helia, Swaro Habicht, and zeiss diavari are considerably brighter in low light tests than all these sub $1000 modern hunting scopes I took out, with the diavari at the top, and on par with a new 8x56 S&B.
