338 my sentiments exactly. When the Meopro is gone I will look at other brands in that price range. Doug buy all of them you can!

That meopta for 499 looks like a great scope for the money, I might just hop on the website and order one We are down to the last dozen or so and then they are done How does the Optika 3-15 compare? Pros and cons of each? Thanks

Pros and cons of each? Thanks My Optika 5 is an evident step below my Meopro of similar size/magnification. I cannot speak for the Optika 6.

Thanks Paul.
Is it a step below in optical quality only or in other ways, in your opinion.
I've heard the Optika 5 glass didn't hang with the meopro

I put a new Athlon Argos 2-12x40 on a 20Practical for coyote hunting this season and am pleased with it. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q90/922/zqXVn2.jpg) It bounces around on the back of my MC and is holding up fine.

I hated the rubber rings around the turrets and power selector, no need for all the threaded holes for the throw lever stud. Weighs too much and didn't like the blue ring on the objective Other than that the glass was nice and the turrets felt good. I ended up sending it back for a refund.

I've heard the Optika 5 glass didn't hang with the meopro Optical quality/glass. Going back and forth between them the the 5 was not as sharp and clear.

Ok $500 plus or minus scope? what are you buying? Who is making the best warranty, features, glass, etc...
3-10/12/14 power? What say you forum?
I would try a Maven RS.2. I was in their shop and tried to buy one, but they were out of stock.They appear to be very well built, the glass is very good and they are still light and dont have big turrets. I dont have many scopes that cost over $500, but I wanted to try one and see how they worked. That being said, I would buy the Meopro from Doug's sale before I tried the Maven. That is what I am looking for. I will probably order 1.

At this time we cannot get any more Meoprps as there are none to be had. We do have a few of the Meopro MeoPro 4.5-14x44 HTR - ZPlex left and on sale for only $499.99

Meopta bean counters ruined a good thing? Any “official” reason why to end the Meopros? ESP if the optika5 is a step down.
