[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1812630, member: 78762"] Just got my 4.27 Optika 6 mrad. I’ve never seen a scope with this kind of glass in a optic in this price range. The turrets are very crisp and line up well. It feels very sturdy, durable. One thing I checked at first is, it’s 12 degrees here right now, and the scope feels like it’s been in the cold for several hours. I was going to let it warm up a bit before trying the functions. But I said screw it, I want to see if thing is a durable cold weather optic. All the functions of the scope felt like it was 80 degrees outside. Very smooth, no noises, sometimes on lower end optics you’ll get a squeak when adjusting parallax in the cold. And they are sometimes stiff as well. This thing is smooth. I didn’t mount it up yet because I’m waiting on my Burris XTR sig rings. I was concerned about ordering the low rings due to the big power adjustment ring on this thing. I set it into a set of low weaver tactical rings, didn’t put the ring caps on and held it there to see if a Remington 700 bolt would hit the ring, I have a badger 20 moa rail on there and gladly the bolt cleared. I think the badger rail sits a little lower than a lot of 20 moa rails, so I think it will clear most bolts with most rails in low rings. I’m going to run it thru the paces on a 6.5 creed, then a 338 lapua, if it tracks, I’m probably going to pick up the 5-30 34mm. I have no doubts this thing will perform. Meopta builds tough scopes, and being everything is built in house, they can sell a optic that punches above its price point, better than the other companies that source from other companies. One thing I was wondering, was about the 4.5-27 looking a lot like the Athlon 4.5-27, like maybe meopta sources parts from the pacific rim for these scopes. I was wrong, the body is not the same, the zero stop is not the same, and I had a conformation that these were all made in house. [/QUOTE]
