Leupold Euros are not completely multi-coated just the external lense and would not be as bright as a comparable multi-coated scope that is my hangup with them. I have been looking at the Zeiss 3.5-10x44 myself to put on my Sako 7STW but after giving it a lot of thought will have to go with a Scope that has more eye relief . I have had issues before with Zeiss's and other Euro scopes not fitting a particular rifle correctly because of their oversized ocular housing and short eye relief. The only exception was the 3-9 conquest that I briefly owned but that still has a big ocular housing which limits ring spacing on the rifle I wanted it mounted on (Remington KS). My Choices now are a Leupold 4.5-14x40 or a Nikon Gold 2.5-10x50 for this STW.
