I bought the same scope essentially on the advise of a stranger through Euro Optics. I have been an almost exclusive Leupold fan, and was a little hesitant. I decided to to try something new and bought the 4-16x44 mil-dot. I can honestly say this was one of the best decisions I've ever made! I'm a solid fan of the leupold VX III's and own 4 of them. In my opinion, the Meostar is a class above the Leupolds and I have been nothing but impresses with this scope. Euro-Optics was very helpful and I can't say enough about them either. GO MEOPTA !!!
