The company has been around since the early 1930's and are headquartered in the Czech republic. I am assuming they know how to make a decent scope, but I have never used one - any thoughts? I need two scopes - one for my CZ 527 and the other for a 224 Valkyrie.

Wish I got one or two more during the labor days sale at camera land. All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Hint.(grin) Pardon my not guessing,while having more than a "few" other Makes/Models to extrapolate. Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!...................

They've been great on the set it and forget setups. I’m also a fan of the Meopro line. I have 4 of them, and they are fine for set and forget thus far. I don’t dial with them. Not yet tried an Optika.

Heck Meopta used to make the glass for the conquests. Great set and forget scope. Never tried dialing with one. But the scope I had never failed to hold zero and was responsible for several whitetails meeting their demise.

A great value of quality for the price. They are tough to find because they are no longer the secret they once were. Reach out to Doug and he can make an order for you and probably save you a few $'s too.
