Does anyone have any experience with the meopta meostar 3x12x56? I'm considering one with a #4 reticle for low light shooting. I've got a swarovski PH 2.5x10x56 on one of my rifles and am very impressed with it. I'm looking to scope another rifle with a low light scope and can get the meopta for about half the price of a swarovski, S&B, or Zeiss. How does it compare to these?

The Meopta compares very well. You will get 95% (maybe more) of the Swaro performance for, as you say, half the money.

Two of my hunting pals have Meoptas in 3-12x56 with illuminatet dot.

They are very satiesfied with the scopes, and they actually stay as long in the high seats at night as I do with my Zeiss Victory 3-12x56.

We do a lot of low light hunting for red deer, including nights with moon on snowy fields, and the Meopta has a great number of followers.
lots of scope for the money!

I have two Meoptas, not the Meostar, but both Artemis and am more than pleased with both.

One is 3-9x42 and the second is 2-8x42 both did great in Germany, hi-seats and drive hunts, and Africa on plains game.

Can't beat the price for the quality.

I've one on a hornet. Lovely bit of glass. Back to back with a Leupold VX3 4.5 - 14 x50 on a mates rifle on a moonlit night, I thought it was as good as, if not marginally better. If I could find another at a decent price, I'd have it.

I have looked through them but not hunted with them: my voice goes clearly to a Swarovski... Nothing else for me anymore at the moment.

It must not be the expensive Z6i edition - the Z4i is a premium glas for less money with all You want and need: illuminted reticle, rail AND a very crytal sharp image - which I havenßt seen from any other manufaturer...! Have a look your own!
