Hey Pointer, I got the Zeiss scope in the mail today. It was in the box still sealed. Its definetly not a chinese knock off. It looks great. Its a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 stainless. It should go great on the Ruger #1 stainless that I picked up on gunbroker.com for $425. I was alittle apprehensive on that one as well for that price, but it came in the day before yesterday and theres not a mark on it. I think the dealer said it had less than 2 boxes through it.
