What’s going on with Meopta?

[blue_ridge]

It looks like all the Optika scopes are discontinued. There’s some new MeoPro and MeoForce scopes available. How are these in comparison to the Optika line which were good values? The Meopta website doesn’t tell you much and requires you click on the whole catalog to learn anything useful.

maybe @koshkin knows something?

Current scope lines are:
MeoHunter R5
MeoPro R6
Optika5
Optika6MeoStar R2
The MeoHunter, MeoPro and Optika's are designed and quality control checked in Czech Republic and assembled in China. Meopta, at this time, does not have a location in the USA so all Meopta products must go back to the Czech Republic for service. At SHOT Meopta did say they should have a center here in the US by late Spring

Thanks Doug. I did not know they were assembled in China.

Odd that their website only mentions MeoPro and MeoHunter. So was thinking they are coming out with a new generation MeoPro to succeed the Optika line.

Doug, do you have any experience with the MeoHunters?

Doug, do you have any experience with the MeoHunters?

I saw them at SHOT, however, we will not bring in any Meopta's until they reopen a facility here in the USA

Doug is there any update in Meopta having a USA service center?

 

[gr8fuldoug]

I haven't heard a peep

I sure hope they bring a service center to the USA. I have a pair of Meostar 15x56 that are out of collimation. Shipping to the Czech Republic would be over $50, each way in addition to the $400 they quoted me. I’m not sure that I’ll have them repaired. I certainly would not buy the brand again.
