Posted By: Stilhuntin Meopta vs Alpha Scopes - 10/01/22
Probably been discussed before, but I’m interested in a very good scope to go on a 25-06. Early morning and last light capabilities a must. Want it keep the price under $2,000.

How do the top of the line Meopta scopes compare to the “alpha class” scopes?

Thanks for any input.

A little dated, but still applicable. The Meopta S2 is superb, and competes with anything made, period. I had one side by side with my Kowa 883 and kept the S2, FWIW.

If I had a budget of $2000, I’d get a S&B Klassik.

You want SFP or FFP?

They’re still damn good glass. The R1 and R2 is everything I’ve ever seen from the other big guys.

The Meostar line is at or near the top of the heap.

It will certainly be more then enough for 1/2 or 1 hour after sunset hunting.

I have a MeoPro and the old Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 (Meopta too I believe). They both shock me for low light clarity.

My eye sight is a such that I really don't notice any difference in a $50 Tasco and a $3,000 scope of any brand...

Developing some cataract issues?
My two Meopta R1 scopes don't give up much of anything to my S&B Klassic 6x42.
All three will allow me to place rounds on target accurately well after legal shooting light.
