I am interested in one of the Meopta 3-12x56 Meostar R1 scopes for a new rifle. I really like the 3-12 variable and the 56 objective is also and great feature for lower light gathering. I have not heard a great deal about them, but what I have heard seemed very positive. Anyone own this or other Meopta scopes that could share some opinions vs other highly regarded scopes?

I own two Meopta products a 4-12x40 R1 and a pair of 10x40 binos. The binos are excellent, almost "top shelf", the scope I would put on par with the Zeiss Conquest line "upper middle class"

forgiveness for my poor English, just tell that meopta meostar 3-12x56 is considered in europe with the best quality and price surpassed only by the high-end models from Zeiss, swarovski, s & b Kahler and a greeting from spain.

Welcome, McKinneyMike!
Judging by your handle and your state of residence, am I correct in assuming you and I live in the same city NE of Dallas, in Collin county?

Meostar is better than Zeiss conquest. In the looking I have done
through the two, Zeiss conquest isn't as nice as the
Meostar optically. I have three Meopta products, two of which are
Meostar and they have very very nice glass.

Don't want to hijack the thread any further, MM, but I live off Eldorado PKWY in the community just east of Hardin blvd, less than a mile from the Tom Thumb. If you ever want to meet up and go shooting, send me a PM.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

I might have to do that Ted. I have a friend that has 400 acres in Oklahoma near Ardemore that we could shoot on anytime.

Meopta makes the lenses for Zeiss conquest and the Meostars are optically better than the Conquest line. Noticeably in my opinion.
