I do not know if that will be a good thing or not. I may be tempted to try a 2x10x42 as long as they are not heavier than the Meopros. They should not be. This article says the scope tubes are made of magnesium, which 34 percent lighter than aluminum. If I remember correctly, the price is to run from $349 to $549. I'm anxious to get more details/specs on these scopes. RJ


My understanding is that the Optika5 is an entry level product priced from $349.99 - $549.99.

Now, I am not a rocket scientist by any stretch of the imagination, however, I have been doing this job for decades.

IMO, a 5x scope priced $349.99 - $549.99 will not be superior to a 3x scope priced $$499.99 - $949.99.

Meopta may phase out the Meopro at some point, however (again IMO) the Optika5 and Optika6 are not superior scopes to the Meopro.
