I just looked at one of these in my local gun store. Its a 3X10X50mm with a 30mm tube. Its as clear as my Ziess or Leupolds. Looks really well made. It is made in the Czeck Republic. Meopta has a web site. Has anybody got one or seen on.?? What do you think about it?? This one was priced at $405.00. Not bad for a 30 mm.

One of the magazines rated this scope as a good buy. Personally, I don't know much about these scopes, but if it costs $400, then I wouldn't take a chance either.

Heck, for $400 I'd buy something that has a proven track record - Elite 4200, Nikon Monarch, even the Zeiss Conquest.

And don't put too much emphasis on the 30mm tube thing either. I used to and discovered it's more hype than anything else. The biggest advantage (actually probably the only advantage) to the 30mm tube is that it is able to have a higher amount of adjustments, but that's about it.

Again, if you want to spend $400 for it, then go for it, but if it were me, then I'd buy something else.

Thanks Zac,, I like your input. I'm thinking the same way. I have been reading all the forums about the Nikons and Zeiss and Bush 4200. I have a Bush 4200 and really like it , but I'm looking at the Zeiss now for a new rig. I'm putting a BulBerry in 6.5X284 on my Encore. This will be a Rocky Mt. hunting rig , High country.

Just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean they aren't highly regarded. Go to AR15.com or snipershide.com and do some research on these scopes. They are considered a fantastic deal and most people who are serious about their optics find these scopes to be just as good as many Swarovskis or Zeiss scopes.
