Sportsman's Guide is selling Meopta Meostar and Artemis 2000 scopes now. Can anyone familiar with them look at this and say if the pricing is right? Thanks in advance:

I have 2 Meopta scopes....looking for more.

Yes...that's a very decent price at Sportsman's.

Also, you find them for sale (mew) from time to time on GunBroker.com.

Good luck,
Garrett

I have two. They are great scopes for much less money than other European counterparts. A little known fact is that Meopta makes the lenses for most of the well known high-end European lines.

I have two identical Meopta"s in 7x50.
Last week I took a Meopta 7x50 off my .243, and replaced it with a 4.5-14x50mm Leupold varmint hunter.
The leupy cost almost twice what the Meopta did and it certainly is"nt twice the scope.
The Meopta is far better in low light, has a longer body allowing more adjustment when positioning in the rings, and has a rear focus ring.
Now that I"ve shot the rifle with the Leupy on it, I like the extra magnification and the very precise fine reticle, but I was very close to sending it back when I first saw it. I bought a 1" tube version so I could swop it onto my .308 for my trip to Canada next year, but I"ll stick with the Meopta on the .308 as it"s as good as anything else.
They"re a fantastic scope at a very reasonable price.
good shooting

I have a brand new, never mounted, fully warranted Meopta Meostar R1 3 - 10 x 50 that is for sale if any of you are interested. It has the Z plex reticle and 30mm tube. I posted it in the classifieds a while back for $425.

"Rumor Control" has it that Meopta makes the glass for the Zeiss Conquest.

I'll think about that, CSH. I was really looking at the 1-4 for a big bore, however. I have to look at my projects in process and see if a 3-10 would work on one. Does the objective lense adjust for paralax on 3-10 Meoptas? I hate that feature on American scopes; one more control to fiddle with or break.

No thanks Sportsmans guide.

Cabela's sells the Meopta scopes.

Somebody please explain parallax adjustment? I know what parallax is. So there's a knob to adjust compensation for different distances?
