    Rifle Scopes New Meopta Scope - Optika6

    There is no reasoning behind it. Hopefully, in the future, we won't see that anymore.

    Rifle Scopes New Meopta Scope - Optika6

    I have been working with, not for, Meopta for 3 years now and they are making changes that you all have asked about. As for the Optika6 1-6x24 being daylight bright, it isn't red dot bright but on cloudy days I can easily see the dot on cardboard targets when competing in carbine matches. My...

    GAP Precision LRHS 4.5-18 best mid range scope under $1000?

    You willnot be disappointe dwith the Meopta Optika6 3-18x50 FFP Mrad reticle scope. I love mine. Repeatable accuracy when dialing and it is built tough! You can dial in the drops using Stelok Pro too. Reach out to Doug and I bet he can help you out. These scopes have been flying off the shelves...

    Hunting scope without spending a fortune....

    You are on the right track. Meopta MeoStar glass is known for light transmission. There is hardly a review on MeoStar glass that doesn't mention how great they are in low light conditions. I'll be using my MeoStar R1 3-10x50 again this hunting season. I have mine on a .308 Win and dialed in for...

    Rifle Scopes Rifle Scope - Help Me Choose

    I just put a Meopta MeoTac 3-12x50 on my 6.5CM and let me tell you, it is impressive! It is at the top of your budget but Meopta glass and quality means you get one heck of a value for your money. A 34mm tube, FFP, Mil Mil turrets, and 100 mils of vertical adjustment. I can't wait to stretch...

    Rifle Scopes **Updated** Lightweight hunting scope

    Hard to beat a Meopta scope for quality over price. The MeoStar R2 2-12x50 RD would serve your needs very well and the 50mm obj. gives you the field of view and light transmission that Meopta optics are known for. Yes, it has an illuminated reticle but At 21 oz it is still right in the ballpark...

    Rifle Scopes Help needed! Vortex PST Gen2 5-25 or Meopro Optika6 4.5-27?

    How far and how much adjustment do you need, 115 MOA on the 5-30 and 88 MOA on the 4.7-27. The 34 mm tube allows for a lot more adjustment and a little wider field of view. I have both scopes sitting on 6.5 CM's and couldn't be happier. I will be moving the 5-30 to a Surgeon rifle .308 that...

    Meopta Dichroic Reticles

    I used one most of the 2019 hunting season. It performed great! Helped me take a great buck at first light that just wouldn't come out of the woods. The Dichro reticle let me make a great 1 shot stop. I loaned the rifle to a friend and he and his girlfriend also took nice bucks using the Dichro...

    Leupold.... vs

    Give the Meopta Optika6 a look. 3-18x50 or 4.5-27x50 with a 30mm tube should serve all your needs perfectly. I couldn't be happier with mine. I do suggest a sunshade for those days when it's appropriate. The hard part will be finding them but that should get easier after the first of the year I...

    Rifle Scopes Recommendations - Scope for Tikka T3x CTR 6.5 Creedmoor

    Another vote for the Meopta Optika6 line of scopes. You don't need to spend a $1200 to get a quality scope. FFP or SFP , 30 or 34mm tube, check them out. There's a reason they sell out so quickly.

    Meopta B1 Plus 10x42's

    LOL, There you go! Good to know, Doug. I have had a few folks asking me where they can find the latest and greatest from Meopta, now I know where to send them! Thank you for letting us know and thank you for being a Sponsor here. I know you do a great job hooking 'hide members up.

    Meopta B1 Plus 10x42's

    The MeoStar B1 Plus is tough to find right now. They literally just started arriving over the past few weeks. I have looked through mine at first and last light and can assure you they are up to the MeoStar quality you have come to expect. I had a chance to check out the Kowa's a month or so ago...

    Rifle Scopes Meopta MeoStar R2 1-6x24 vs Leupold VX-6HD 1-6x24mm

    I have been working with Meopta for about 18 months now and I can attest that the glass is excellent. Clear and very good in low light as described above. I did have the R2 1-6 4C but changed to the Optika6 1-6x24 KDot. A very nicely built scope, built like a tank and for my uses the KDOT...

    Rifle Scopes Help needed! Vortex PST Gen2 5-25 or Meopro Optika6 4.5-27?

    Zap, That is surely a windfall for you! You and Delinquent will both be happy with your Optika6 riflescopes. I have put over $1000 in ammo under my 4.5-27 and 5-30x56, both sitting on 6.5 CM Bergara rifles. Huge fun and they let me wring all the accuracy possible out of my rifles. I look...

    Rifle Scopes Strike Eagle vs Razor ?

    Good luck with your choice. My suggestion would have been since you already have 34mm mounts to look at Meopta's Optika6 5-30x56 FFP, MRAD scope. I have had excellent results with mine and couldn't be happier.

    Rifle Scopes Help needed! Vortex PST Gen2 5-25 or Meopro Optika6 4.5-27?

    Even though I do some freelance work with Meopta, I'm only going to pass along information that I feel is truthful and pertinent to what you guys will be using this scope for. From my own hands-on experience, I have been impressed with the Optika6 5-30x56 from objective to the eyepiece. This...
