I actually test back to back in low to no light over several evenings.
Meopta uses the same glass (Schott) and coatings in both te 30mm and 1" tube scopes.
The latter is assembled in the US and cheaper.
I own S&B, Zeiss FL, USO, Kahles, Swarovski
The Meoptas glass is right there with them.
That is no BS
I will stick to Zeiss Swaro and When I try another it will be Schmidt and Bender

The OP did say he wanted to stay under $300 for the scope. For that price, the best scope I have is a Burris FFII in 4.5-14. I have a bunch of Leupolds, and they are a bit better in terms of adjustment quality. I need another scope myself, and I do think I'm going for another Burris just like the one I have.
I used a Zeiss Conquest 3-9 for a week or two recently, and I was expecting to be impressed, but I wasn't. I suspect that it's the next level of Zeiss that would impress me.

Just bought a Nikon 3x9 Pro-Staff. So far I really like it and it was under $200.

I also like the Redfields. For the price they are tough to beat. I have used the lower level Leupolds (Rifleman and VX1) and the Redfield was very very close in clarity and tracked well.

I have a Leupold VX2 3-9X40 that does a good job. They can be purchased for under $300

They're cheap. Buy a nice Nikon or Zeiss.
