Very nice. Please let us know how you like those Meopta scopes and which scopes you've previously used and can compare those to.

It’s for my AA S410-which I sent it off for repairs. Once I get it mounted on a gun, I’ll give my opinion on it. With a cursory look, I was happy. Liked the reticle. Glass seems resolute and contrasty. Focuses down to 10 yards. I have a feeling more of my long guns will be sporting Meopta glass in the future.

I've got an Optika5 (4-20) on my Kratos. I like it so much more than all my other scopes that I am thinking of selling them all and just buying more of the same Optika5.
My comparisons are Cabellas Covenant 4,5, and 7, Crimson Trace 5-25, Hawke 4-16 compact, Nikon ProStaff, MTC 5-30, and some even cheaper ones. (utg, aimsports, etc.)
The only Scope I like as much as my Optika5 is the Optica6 4.5-27x FFP, but it costs a lot more and frankly, I don't like it that much more. Optically, clarity, detail, it is no better. Just bigger and more range, and FFP.
The other scopes in the Meopta Price range, Crimson Trace and MTC,.the MTC is a POS. It came premounted on my LCS, and I really do not like the optics. Literally muddy in low light, it looks like I ma looking through a window screen. Everything about it externally is great, the dials, the caps, all very user friendly and features I'd love on my other scopes, but the optics are literally the worst of all of the above. At less than half the price a Cabellas Covenant Chinese optics are cleaner. The Crimson Trace is fine optically, probably the next best thing I have compared to the Meopta's I own,. but it's HUGE and heavy with not that much more magnification, and still not as clean as the Meopta's. If you don't get them used or on sale, they cost more than the Meopta, so that's a non starter.
The Optika 5 4-20 also focuses closer than any other scope I own that claims "10 yards" Side by side vs. other 10 yrd scopes set to low magnification it offers clear image at 6 feet closer than the Hawke, etc.. This is a nice addition.

CyberDyneSystems-
If you keep making posts like the one above, the shelves will soon be void of the Meoptas, and their prices will go through the roof.
