I'm looking for info any of you might have on the quality/durability of the Meopta Meostar 1-4x22 scope on a .458 Lott or similar recoiling rifle. Thanks in advance for your input. | ||

I would not hesitate to fit any Meopta scope to a rifle. They are well built and have excellent glass. They perform well beyond what the price suggests. Presently they head my list of value for money. | |||

I was looking at Meopta for my Lott, but decided against it because it had only three-quarters of the eye relief of the Kahles 1-4x20.(3-inches vs. 4, I think it was) With big calibers, eye relief becomes an important consideration. | |||

I have one Meoptia scope...and I like it very much. The only down side is the eye relief. I would be careful with a big bore rifle...you may dot your eye! Optics are great though IMO. ****************************************************************** R.

Keep the weight of the scope on your .458 Lott as light as possible. Under recoil the heavier scopes have more potential for movement. | |||

If the rifle is made in Czech Republic I might flirt with good 'ole Optikotechna, but otherwise I would go with true and tried Leupold. I did something similar by buying Austrian scope for rifle made in Germany. Although a fine scope, I didn't like Assembled in USA on that 'Conquest' tube. | |||

Thanks for the input..... I've got a CZ 550 Safari rechambered to .458 Lott from .458 Win. I smoothed up the action, had it double checked to make sure it fed and ejected, had a big white bead installed, had the barrel cut down to 22". Now, it handles sweet and shoots great. Jim Cloward, here in Lake Stevens, WA did the smithing. I just wanted to install a decent scope and had no 1st hand knowledge of the Meopta scopes. | |||

That is the concensus opinion. The glass of the Meopta is very clear just like a Zeiss, but their eye relief is too short for high recoiling rifles. The Meopta is also a heavy scope in comparison with a Leupold. For DRG pick a low power scope with a wide FOV. Warrior | |||
