Has anyone used or looked through the Meopta Meopro 6-18x50? What was your impression?

I saw that and it seems too good of a deal to pass up. For the money I probably can't go wrong. Essentially the same technology as the old Zeiss Conquest, right?

I have three of them on various varmint rifles and they are mighty fine scopes. I own Kahles and Zeiss, as well as other Meopta models, and they are all good.

It has a rather limited adjustment range if that's important to your application.

It's 40 inches, right? I was going to put it on my 22-250 and 500 yards would be about it. No more are available from Cabelas at the reduced price, so I guess I will look for something else.

I don't remember the number, just that it was small when I looked into it a while back.

Yea, I'm glad I pick one up at the sale price, I have a 4.5-14 X 44 EMT on my CZ 527 .223 and its my most loved scope at this time so I just had to pick up a 6-18 X 50 at that price.

Resolution is just fine for my 71 year old eyes. Crisp view when you use all of the adjustments available.

Thanks for the reply. I wish I would have been faster on the trigger finger to buy at the reduced price.

I'm seeing the 6-18x50 AO for $469 on the website as "limited stock".
You have to keep an eye on Cabela's website. It seems some stuff disappears and then shows up again.

Thanks. I will keep checking to see if the duplex for $384 comes back.
