Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally don't think they look too bad. I like the power ring. With cold hands and or heavy gloves, it's a great boon.
But, I really don't put a lot of influence on exterior aesthetics, so long as the scope does what it's supposed to as far as making bullets land where they're supposed to.
For gloss and walnut I like a matching scopes, but for more modern rigs, functionality is top of the list.
I've had a lot of positive experiences with Meoptas over the years. I haven't bought an optoka 5 or 6 yet, but the ones I've looked through have been impressive. I'm interested to hear how tough they've been for people.
