I'm not sure who makes the scope with the Cabelas label. I put one on my 45/70 this year. So far it's ok with two trips to the range and about a dozen rounds. And you are right about the clarity of the scope It's impressive for the price.

Meopta makes the Euro Instinct which is an excellent scope. None of us at the store level know who makes the others. It is a closely held secret. I have no desire to own one.

i bout the multi turret stop for the 243 but the mail ups guy lost it the had to resend it i was just shocked i have been out of hunting for some time mostly to to my sever back issue even after surgy i am in more pain then befor but i am able to walk with out a sever limp and able to straighten my legs do to not having the pain down the sides so i was looking for a new school i had one of my dads old bushnell scopes on there not it was nice for the nice but his eyes and my eyes are different i think it is kind of blue were the thought it was clear my son can take his glasses and says it perfect it has the ao on the front but its not worth a dame I have read good reviews with them and watch the you tube videos of a lot of the turret scopes i was going to spend the money and get the Nikon turret adjustment scope but it was not nearly as accurate at the cabalas the nikon was about 9ins low at 200yrs the cabalas [censored] a tad low but still in the kill shot on the target and 300 it was about the same i watched about 10 videos on it before wanted to see through one because i can remember them being pretty crappy but lot of stuff 7yrs ago was crap and really stepped it up i recently shot a friends 223 it had a tasco on it and i could not believe how far they have come i have one it was on my 22 growing up its all i could afford but it was a 22 the biggest thing i killed was squeals with it. I was quite shocked on the quality of it while in the store. it was just as clear if not a little better then my buddy 399$ scope i paid less and it seems to be better even he agreed and he bout one for his 30-06 said it was one of the best buys in a long time it slid off the bench it was leaning on he knocked it over wile adjusting the bench rest and it held its zero so they can take a little beating and till hold tight Booradly why dont you want to own one is there an issue with them i searched 3 days on line and cold to fiend out who made them just a buch of people guessing

It varies. The Meopta model is the former Zeiss Conquest and I definitely want one.

There were several magazine articles about that one.

I spent 2 days at cabalas. Academy aafes on the army base the price match and no tax pluse I can get a 2 yr war you for like 19$ mi can slam it on the ground and they will send me a check for what I paid no broke several pair of ray and th bought me a new pair I dropped the iPad half dozen time and the fixed it for free all in a shot 2-3 months I was fixed 4-5 times. Canapés had some great scopes the one a few better then the on u wanted. All there scopes wee clear real clear I was shocked o bought there mutation turret scope for my 243 and could not be happier I am replacing my other scopes now. Mad the are realy old and after I looked trough 128$ redfd I was convince to redo them all. Brands that were total crap
7-8 10 years ago now make a decent scope. And was just dumbfounded at the quality of even he cheap stuff

Meopta makes the top end Euro models, Hakko in Japan makes their better mid priced stuff and the cheap stuff is done by various Chinese manufacturers bases on bid cost.
Hakko used to make all of the Nikon Monarch scopes untilNikon moved them to China too.

I take 2 different kins of morphine on is a slow release 60mg and one is a fast release its 20mg just to get out of bed and walk through the house when i hunt or shot i dont take anything and i pay for it the next day i am unable to get around the house with out a can or help from my mother in law or kids i still have trouble with short term memory problems i could not even tell you a quarter of what did yesterday like i was telling a member i pm with that i had a sore [censored] check when i woke up and there were poke marks on it i had to ask my son who happen he said i got hit in the [censored] by a cictiss i asked him if he pulled them out he said no way mom did it when see got home I do the best i can sometime things dont come out like i woulds like and reading it wont help because i read it and it looks fine to me I still to this day have problems remembering what happened when i was younger i can remember pars of stuff but the rest is blank and i really dont trust the stuff i can remember and the is alway up till it happened


I was just asking who made them i had not been in valved in hunting for a long long time and what i can remember they weren't that good but i was bord and wanted to up grade all my scopes so i went around looking at differ ones i likes the cabalas scopes were nice compared to the others that were more money that is not what i was expecting i was couries who made them i private the response and apologize for the poor grammar and spelling if i could fix it i would but 5-7 of therapy they said i was as good as i am going to get i really wish i could spell and write and read better i feel embarrassed a lot what i write and nothing helps but this program that disifers the best it can what i write and its not compatible with another program because my writing is really much much worse this at least make is so i can get by i am not going to write and english paper with it but it gets me by sorry I thought explaining it in other post and to members it would have gotten around

my dad was a huge bushel guy there were expensive they held there szeros well my 20 gage i have not sought the scope on it but on time this year because i was our of the federal barns expanders i have used since 1998 when i bout the gun i zeroed it for 100 yrs and with all my moves in the army the last move wrapped the box up with all the guns in side the relied they could not carry it os the slid it down a flight 2 story home stare case strait to the bottom letting it smack the wall and put a hole in it even bushnell held its zero on one Nikon i had was off a few inches it is not an expensive one and its is more the 17yrs old i would say the only reason i am up grading some of them is that one fogs up a bit when its cold or damp one is a little blurry its just a 1.5-4 power shot gun scope i was so surprised when i pick put a bushnell and looks through it compared to my tops of the line bushels it was night and day difference i dont line any of the scopes but the one on the 22-250 was over 75$ they all killed deer the same i just think it would be nice to have a little better quality scopes on the guns i acetyl use i did buy a cabalas and a bassproshop occult for my 222 it was really good as wall audit was even more expressive out side so because my dad was a big fan and he always set my guns up with extra work and scopes I never bought one my self and i am 38 so i am spending a little more i could not fined any trophies every ones was sold out of the 40mm or 50mm it was just a few days befor christmas they are not nikons but they are well made i have about 13 of them even weaver and taco makes a decent scope i have a few old tasks i pick up some here and they went on the 22 and 22 mag and works great for squeals it just did not take much to bump the off zero so took them off and will put one of my old business with the drop cominsators on there it wont help much i know but they are my clearer scope and i dont shoot them much or at all anymore

I'm curious how you guys know who makes the Cabela's scopes when as a gun counter employee I can't find out, the firearms manager doesn't know and the store manager doesn't know.

The Meopta info is in Outdoor Life...I believe...you can verify. It may also be in Cabela's Optics flyer I received.

I know about Meopta making the Euro Instinct, it says Meopta on the scopes. I was wondering about the other info.

It might be too late but with all the trigger and bedding work you're doing to the rifle I would think you should get a decent scope and mount for it.

Many of them don't, some of them do. I've been mounting scopes for many years and mount them at work. I've also mounted scopes for a few members. I'm certainly not an expert but from working with many different scopes five days a week, mounting them for years and studying and reading about scopes for years - I do know more about scopes than the vast majority of people that stand on the other side of the gun counter. You may possibly know much more than I, and if so that is great. A blanket question such as yours lumps everyone in the same group. That just isn't the case.
