In certain models, doesn`t the Meopta have shorter eye relief than the 4200`s????

Eye relief is a concern. This scope will go on a Remmy model Seven SS magnum in 7mm SAUM. It kicks about 18 lbs. 50% more than a similar .308. Thanks.

If eye relief is a concern, and it sounds like it could be, I would suggest a conquest. You actually didn't say which conquest you were considering.....I assume the 3x12x56? If so it will have 3.5" constant eye relief, optics will be very good with the conquest, but I haven't compared the two scopes mentioned head to head. Will defer to Jon's opinion.

A 7mmSAUM in a lightweight model seven will kick a lot more than 18#, it will be pretty stout.

An M7 Remy with a 3-12X56 will be like towing a 36' travel trailer with a Ranger.
I would look at a smaller scope that would not ruin the balance of that fine rifle. I have a 3-9x40 Monarch on mine and it works great.

eye relief is shorter than i like - BUT, it's on a 7mm08 so it's not a problem.
that gun kicks like a baby.
if eye relief is an issue - get a 3-9x40 conquest and call it a day.
or the 1.5-6x42 SIII sightron w/a #4 would be nice.
good luck.

I have 3x9 monarchs on a couple of different rifles: a Ruger M77II .243 and a Model Seven .308. Nice scopes, but I want more magnification and better low-light performance on the SAUM. I have a 4.5-14x44 Conquest on my .308 5-R, but the low-light performance is not what I desire. So, I am off the the races. If the scope it too big asthetically, teh so be it! I am after performance for this hunting rifle. I already have several beautiful rifles in the safe!! This one may be the ugly little sister... Thanks. Drummer
