I got all excited about the 3-15x44 and then they put that huge ass power adjustment ring on it and killed my buzz.

If you look at the photo of my Rem. 700, it shows the bolt up and plenty of room to cycle the action. Zero issues at all, but to each their own.

I'd like a side view to evaluate mounting height.

Those weights and objective diameters, along with no low mounting make these scopes an easy hard pass. A 12 oz 6 or 2-7 x36 with a #4 reticle would be outstanding


I totally agree. The early article that I read about the "soon to be released Optica 5's said the weights were MUCH lighter. I figured it was too good to be true. I'll pass. RJ

Doug scooped the weights back in January, in this thread. And I’m with you ...

Bummer.


I’m having a hard time imagining a set of priorities that would inspire the Optika 5 line’s design, both functionally and aesthetically.

Given that they’re built on 1” tubes, they’re relatively massive scopes. They’re only available with MOA turrets and reticles and they’ve been embellished with coarsely crenellated operating surfaces. At first glance, it appears as though Meopta took tubes from their legacy Meopro line and replaced the 3x guts with 5x guts, increased erector travel, and emboldened externally rotating components. Maybe it’s just the iterative evolution of the Meopro line?

Alternatively, one might wonder if the Optika 5 line isn’t a better caricature of what Meopta’s development team thinks of North American sportsman than it is a response to earnest demand in the marketplace. Ultimately, I don’t really get it.

Then again, if they’re bomb proof, weight and appearance may not matter much. The Meopro Optika 5 line is certainly in a category unto themselves.
