Meopta Spotting Scopes?

[gonzaga]

I have a 20-45x70mm spotting scope. I have had it for several years. I don't use it that much and it really is a little much for me. It has a built in sunshade that actually telescopes out 2". Should I keep it, or should I get rid of it and use the money for another project?

Do you guys use any of their products and how do they stack up in your opinions?

If you don't use it, sell it. If you have plans to use it, don't sell it.

What variation is it? Meostar, Artemis?

I only use it at the range when I sight in. I only use it a couple times of year. It is a meostar.

I have a cabelas spotter also, that is a good clear scope too. I think that it would work for what I use it for. I am thinking that I need to take them to the range and put them up side by side.

Re: Meopta Spotting Scopes?

I would think so. The Meostar IMO would trounce the Cabela's scope by a ways. But if either served your purpose and you didn't need the higher end scope. Getting more money for the former would suit puposes as well.

-good luck

Re: Meopta Spotting Scopes?

Well right after I wrote that, my buddy called and asked if I was interested in selling the Cabelas, so I guess I am gonna be forced to retain the Meopta..lol.

I bought the Meopta when I used to guide Elk hunters, but I don't to that anymore.

Thanks for the input.
