Meopta Scopes

[BorderBouncer]

Have been looking at the meopro line of rifle scopes recently, as I am fond of the idea of cheap quality German glass. This will be my first scope to go atop my first precision firearm of which I found a fantastic deal I couldn't refuse. For a listing price of $550 on a 4-12x50 I wouldn't say it's a bad idea. Has anyone had any in the field experience with the brand of scope ? They're glass originates in German and is distributed by the SCHOTT glass corporation

Meopta used to make the Zeiss Conquest line of scopes in the U.S.

There is a pretty interesting discussion going on over at the hide in regards to SCHOTT glass vs the coatings on the glass. Its on the TT thread in optics.

I had the Meostar and the glass was very very good. Sold it only to fund a NF.

I believe they also make the Cabelas Euro HD line of optics.
