Vort. Strike Eagle 5-25 vs Brown. MPO 5-25 vs Meopt. Optika6 5-30

Hey guys,
I´m in the market for a scope on my CZ 455/Lothar Walther 22lr rifle.

This three scopes are in the race.

Can anyone give a comparison of this three, or name some pros or cons?


Cheers,
Jay

No one?

They are in a sort of a different budget. Strike Eagle is notably cheaper.

I talked a bit about how it compares with Optika6 in my Strike Eagle review. Sound was not great, but it should be useful.

Hi Mr. Koshkin, sir,
I´m from Germany and the price difference over here is not that high, it still exists, but it is not so much as in the USA (probably for Meopta being a European company and having not that shipping and customs duty fees).

In fact, the MPO and Meopta are the same price, just Vortex is about 15% cheaper.
I´m not sure about the MPO reticle, my only concern so far, not knowing any of these scopes in real life.

Considering this prices, MPO and Meopta on par and Vortex 15% cheaper, which one would you choose?

 

[Jayjay1]

I really would love to hear, how the MPO ranks in with those two.

This would be a great review and throw an Arken EP5 in there.

I plan to re-visit this with an EP5 a couple of other options at some point. It has been a little while, so I need to see which relevant scopes I still have on hand. I know I have the 5-30x56 Optika6 since I rather like the scope, so comparing it to the EP5 should be interesting. I should probably through Element Titan 5-25x56 in there as well. I am really liking the new 3-18x50 Titan, so I am thinking I should have tested the 5-25x when it came out. SwampFox Warhawk should probably be in there as well. And perhaps another one or two. My fixture can hold six scopes side by side, so I am going to limit the number of contenders to that.

I’ve been really impressed with the EP5. There’s been some parallax QC issues but they promptly swap them out on their shipping dime. Other than that, I’ve paid $400 each for them with discount codes they email out time to time. It’s almost unbelievable how much scope you get for that price. I’ve got SB, ZCO, DMR3 etc so I’m not one to compromise too much to save money. I also don’t need that level on every plinking rifle I own. I’m not an expert either so in fairness l, they just work for my needs. Eyebox is reasonable to me which is my main thing along with good glass. I’d love to see and hear more details from one of your reviews for sure!
