I understand the increase in marketing. Meopta isnt marketed like the big names I listed above. Thus the reason Meopta gear is half the price of all other European made optics, which there are few left.
My question is to why there arent't many people advocating for them that actually shoot in the PRS world etc. Seems like if you can get their Equivalent or comparable option to the PMII, Razor, ATACR, etc for half the cost, more people would be doing it.
I also heard/read somewhere that Swarovski-Kahles gets their glass from Meopta do to the fact that it is cheaper to get it made by Meopta in Czech Republic than in Austria. So that really made me question why people pay 3300 for a K624 or 25I Kahles if i can get the same glass with better coatings from Meopta.
I don't need to be sold and convinced on their quality, I can dial and shoot accurately with their Meopro out to 800 easily. I could only imagine what the ZD would bring. I just want to know why nobody speaks of them, uses them or even writes reviews for them. I can't seem to find very much out there where someone has used them in PRS or hunting applications. Everyone is quick to brag on their 3K scopes or advocate for said scopes, just don't understand why there is not any data-reviews on the ZD line etc. Maybe I am missing something, but if it performs to similar levels as all other lines of optics, why not pay half the cost for 100% made European Scope?
I guess what I really want to know is if there is anyone out there that can talk me out of spending the $1800 or so on the 6-24X56 Illuminated ZD before I drop the cash on it versus ATACR, PMII, Kahles or SWARO
I was leaning towards the new K625I from Kahles and ATACR before I stumbled upon this information. With 3K scopes, am I going to pay for a better scope than what Meopta Offers or am I going to pay for their Marketing?
PS - I'm new to all this stuff and don't have the money to be jumping from scope to scope.
here is a link to that scope

Any input would be appreciated.
