I have Swaro,Zeiss,S&B as well as Meopta on my Rifles here.
I can't say there is much between them in terms of clarity.The most surprising is Meopta,considering it's the least expensive of them all.

I once owned a 3-12x50 PMI that had amazing low light brightness and clarity...just amazing.
But after 4 years the lens in the rear ocular bell started making a noise. I sent it to S&B and had to send a number of e-mails before they replied they had received it. They had it for 3 months before I got it back at no charge, which was great as it was outside their 2 year warranty restrictions.
However where they had used the tool to unscrew/take apart the ocular bell, they had made a very noticeable scratch along where the diopter eye piece fits into the ocular bell. With no mention whatsoever of the large scratch at all with the returned paperwork...
Seems their quality has hit the shitter since they opened the factory in Hungary, even the German scopes not as good.
Plenty of horror stories on US forums (they have a repair centre there!), no wonder they have lost a large share in the precision rifle market (which they held from pre-2000's till about 2010).
Have had 2, one of the first 'Precision Hunter' 4-16 with P3 ret and a 5-20 Ultra Short.
Only got the first one now but that may go soon!
Had 2 issues with nightforce scopes and had a mare getting them repaired as were bought in Australia, so I would be struggling to ever go there again. If I ever feel like dropping ridiculous coin again I'd probably go for Tangent theta until then I'll stick to leupold and Vortex Razor2.
Yeah well, there are cases where building companies have to repair or pay out their clients if you it was a build error to start with. But cool man, you say whatever to your clients, I'm sure your business will do real well if your competitors offered a warranty service and you don't.
