Unfortunately Meopta is not known very much in North America. Poor advertising practice is probably the number 1 cause of this. Meopta is well known in Europe and I believe they rely on this reputation to carry their name. In this market advertising is the only way to do business.

I have been using Meopta for many years and I strongly believe they are some of the best optics out there, comparable to Swarovski and S&B, but cost a fraction of the price. They excel in low light conditions and have a clarity that is unbeatable.

Meopta manufacture 100% of their optics in-house. They do not outsource any parts. They use Schott glass exclusively, cut, polish and apply all of the proprietary coating in their state of the art facility.

I have found some reviews that I think can help demonstrate the quality of the products;

Firearms Blog has been reviewing many of the Meopta products all can be found here:

I have had a Meostar R1 Tactic on my .25-06 for the last 11 years.

Amazing scope, incredible quality at the price point or double or triple the price point~~!!

I could go on and on....this is an amazing glass, no question.
 
I agree 100%. I have been nothing but impressed with meopta and wish they had more exposure.

I also have a soft spot for German No.1 and No.4 so the fact that both are available on most of their models pleases me.
 
A few days ago I was looking at Cabela's Instinct Euro rifle scope which it turns out is made by Meopta. I may have to take a second look.
 
I have a ZD 6-24 RD , it has the best glass I could imagine for clarity and low light I don't think the human eye could find better. It has a illuminated mil dot retical that has a little flaw - it draws the battery down when not in use and kills the battery after a week or two , my fix for this is putting a piece of wax paper under the battery when storing . Also just a personal preference but I think I would like just the centre lit instead of the whole retical . The turrets are 100% repeatable and the parallax adjustment is fantastic.
Another thing that I would prefer is mil turrets to match the mil retical ( they are moa turrets ) I do like moa turrets and have become used to dialing for elivation and using the retical for windage and for under 500yds the mil dot retical is fine for holdovers as well . Also seems like a great northamerica warranty

I have a spotting scope from cabelas and it's great but wish I was aware of meopta so Canadian dealers at the time (cabelas is a plague on smaller buisness and not Canadian ) also the instinct line are not meopta s top line glass . Check this dealer and other Canadian sources
 
i have two meopta scopes both on my 223's.
one scope is atleast 12years old and the glass on that one is amazing compared to the one
other i bought 3 years ago.

excellent scopes,excellent value for money,whats not to like about them.

my first choice of scope for any rifle
 
Are you able to bring in others in the Meopta range? I am looking for a replacement scope for my main hunting rifle. I very much like the specs of the Artemis 3-12x50.

Candocad.
 
The Artemis was discontinued last year, the only available right now is a 6x42.

In the 3-12 I have the Meostar R1 and in 4-12 I have the Meopro.

Let me know if any of these interest you and I will send you the price.

Cheers

They were sold buy Cabelas as their euro model but discontinued last year. I bought 2 of the pro series 3x9x42 for $399.00 apiece on sale. I believe i got a tremendous deal the scopes are both tough and clear. I will buy another for my Steyr 300 win mag. The Meopta MeoPro 6-18x50 would be just the ticket for the Steyr even though Swarovski would keep the rifle totally Austrian which would be cool. But the price point of the Meopta is just too attractive to pass up given Meoptas outstanding quality. At the end of the day I believe there is little to choose between Swarovski and Meopta in terms of performance and quality.
 
i had for a long time a 7x50 artemis 2000 with a real reticle german 4 and on the night the wild boars never liked it.

at that time the glass (lens) where still made by the factory not by schott. a schott lens/glass is not a guarantee of a good optic: the treatment is.

but i imagine that the actual meopta are even better.

You have a very nice rifle NHunter. I like the traditional design of the stock and the ebony tips. Iron sights are a bonus Leopold base and rings, does not get any better. You have a very good eye for quality.

Rifle is a 1969 Husqvarna, .25-06 in 1900 Action, as from factory. Bought it new with hanging tags on it, from an avid collector 15 years ago.

With that R1 Tactic scope, action and a fine rest = laser-like accuracy!
(Reticle is mildot)
