Agree, If they are not bad from a weight perspective, they might push me out of my FFII comfort zone.

Prices are very reasonable .
Yes, they are. Hopefully they will be significantly lighter than the optika 6. A 2-10 over 16 oz isn’t going to motivate me. I don't really see it. IIRC, my 3.5-10X44 Meopros are 18 oz. I'd be happy if the 2-10 is around 18.

So 1.25 lbs (20 oz.) on top of a 5.5 lb rifle for 6.75 lb rig. I wanna try one.

So 1.25 lbs (20 oz.) on top of a 5.5 lb rifle for 6.75 lb rig. I wanna try one. I’m running a similarly weighted Nightforce SHV 3-10x42 on my Kimber 280 AI and it makes for a great setup. I’m sure the Meopta of the same weight will too. I’m waiting to see what the eye relief is on the 2-10 model as I need something with a longer eye relief for another rifle I’m setting up. If not, I’ll just go with a pre loved Zeiss Conquest or Meopro 3-9x40.

Same here, I will not be inclined to buy their 2x10 if it weighs more than 16 ounces (without illumination). 12 to 14 would be better, however that's probably just a wishful dream. Meopta's Meopro 3x9x40 is 15.9 ounces, is pretty much bullet proof and is available with a #4 reticle. If the new 2x10 doesn't trip your trigger, I think the existing 3x9 is an excellent alternate.

Some folks... Yep. Cracks me up. If a few ounces is a game changer for a hunting rig, then you have other issues to contend with. I like my heavy-built, well-made scopes and will take the reliability of a heavier, tough scope any day, over a light, questionable one. None of my rifles are super-light and they have been over many mountain miles.

We have several kimbers and others similar in weight with nxs compacts 42 & 32mm along with 3-9 SWFA’s. They are fine to use and we like them quite well. They seem to handle better in the field than online.

I have a few Meoptas, but those Optikas are too ugly for my liking (I admit it, I may be accused of being a form over function guy. I prefer both).

Same optics as the Meostar but an open bridge design binocular I was wondering last night why they wouldn't call them MeoStar air vs MeoPro air? To avoid cutting into MeoStar sales I guess? The problem for them I think will be similar weights vs the what I assume will be much cheaper MeoPro HD's.
