[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1657546, member: 110162"] The store a worked at for 14 yrs carried the meoptas when they first hit the market. Didnt sell well because the company didnt spend any money on promotion. I can tell you what the meopta factory rep told us at the store during our sales " training " seminar. First off, meopta has made medical optics for years . You know, the very high quality microscope and imaging stuff. They are , or at the time (around 2006ish ?) the only scope company that makes their own glass lenses from starting with a big chunk of German glass stock to finished, coated lenses. They use a clear floride coating that doesnt give any "illusions" of brightness like some of the high ends companies do. Many ultra high end scopes use a white floride coating that tricks your eye into believing the scope is brighter than it really is. In a brightly lit store, the meopta looks slightly dimmer than , say a Swarovski. Take the same scopes outside after sunset, and the difference is negligible. At the time, the company was just getting into sport optics, so they MIGHT have lagged slightly behind other high quality scopes in the other important attributes of a quality shooting optic, but they were being very aggressive to close that gap. I doubt you can find a better scope now, for the money. They simply have a dollar for dollar advantage on the industry because they cut out the middle man on glass production. [/QUOTE]
