[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2249881, member: 118823"] I was going to get an R1. Was having trouble finding exactly what I wanted a month or so ago. So I got nervous and jumped on an Meostar R2. 2.5-15X56. Red dot. I just bought a used Swaro off of here. Z8i 2.3-18x56. We did a test at night the first night we got it. Super humid. Cloudy. Hazy. To make a long story short we kept going back and forth about which one was clearer and brighter. Then about the last 5 minutes of legal shooting time the Swaro stepped up as the winner. But honestly before that last five minutes my boys and I kept wondering if the Meopta was as good or even better. Now this was on 15 vs 18. Then we went 15 vs 15. Even about 50 minutes after sunset. 20 minutes past legal shooting time on a very crappy weather night. We still could have shot cows and calves on high power at about 125 yards. Now reason I write all this is to give you a heads up to maybe check out an Meopta Optika if possible. Or a used R1 Meostar. two months ago Nikons and Luepy’s are all I had ever looked through. I am a father of 6 and haven’t bought myself anything in the way of guns and scopes in close to 40 years. My kids rifles and scopes took precedence over me. No high end stuff until the last month. I know this is long winded but you might be surprised what the difference in glass really is. I know myself and my 9 and 12 year old are amazed with the Meopta. On a side note I read that side parallax adjust adds in two extra lenses. So that might be a consideration. [/QUOTE]
