Leica is not the first manufacturer to play games with MSRP and actual selling price, nor will they be the last, so not sure of the relevance there. What is relevant, is that he can currently get a Leica ER set up the way he wants for about $1000, and he can currently get a Leupold VX6 set up the way he wants for about $1000. Winner will probably be whichever one offers the better combo of options for his particular needs. In this class of scope, it's a moot point to make any internet claim as to which scope is "best", since the grading criteria changes with each end user.
Like you I'm very excited about Meopta scopes, and hope that one of the scopes in their R2 line fits my needs for my next scope purchase -- I think they are offering one of the best values in scopes right now.
