yes I just sold my meopta and loved it but it had the illuminated dot reticle and the dot is just to large and gets larger at higher magnifications. I am pretty sure I am going to go with the VXIII 8.5-25lr/t, I really like the scope and Bass pro has them for $599 right now. I just sold my meopta for $700 and don't mind saving up a little more and going with something in the $1000 range now.
