[/QUOTE I received my 3x18x56 2fp meopta optika 6. With dichro bdc recticle. I was hoping to upgrade from my 2007 leupold 3.5x10x40 Boone and crocket recticle scope,not illuminated. The dichro recticle disappears with low light in tree stand where leupold still works with no illumination because recticle is black and heavier ,not transparrent.. dichro is of zero use in low light, and the tiny dot can barely be seen when the sun is not straight up. Recticle was way to fine . With glass clarity i could not see any difference in daylight or right at dark on a 300 yard food plot, even with the extra huge objective of the optika 6.. if you turn power to 18 Then the 10 power leupold is clearer buy alot. I assumed the bigger objective would would give greater field of view set on same 10 power. To my surprise leupold 40mm had a larger field of view at 100 yards both on 10 power.. its is a beast of a scope and looks to be build like a tank. It weighs 1.2 pounds more than my leupold. It is going back , it was no upgrade except for higher power. But the bdc recticle works at 7 to 8 power. At 12 power would be better. Leupold had better field of you , way lighter, buy over a pound. just as clear at low light, and I can see recticle on leupold way better at dusk.. only thing it had on my little leupold was it was big and sexy. Recticle would probably be fine with battery illumination.im sure it's a good scope, feels quality , just cant do nothing better than my little leupold. I have a steiner H4XI 4x16x56 ordered as well. Time will tell if it is a upgrade or not. Its will be battery illumination.
