Until fairly recently, Meopta was an obscure brand in the sports optics industry, but they're no longer the optics aficionados best-kept secret.
They've broken out into the wider American market and are known to most outdoorsmen who are looking for quality and a great deal in the same package.
Over the last decade, they've made it their mission to produce some of the best sports optics available, for half the price of their competitors.
How have they fared in their endeavors? They're an up-and-coming manufacturer who are considered by many to be up there with the best.
But, before you dish out any cash for a scope or red dot, here's the down-low on what optics Meopta has to offer and what their standard of quality looks like.

Meopta brings some of the most innovative rifle scope features to the market for costs low enough to earn a jaw drop - they give a whole new meaning to getting the most bang for your buck. But, just as affordability is important so is selection.
With a wide range of scopes to choose from, you have options laid out before you that includes flagship series status, value, and five-star glass quality. To appeal to all types of shooters from competition veterans to low light hunters, here's what's hot, trending, and worth recommending.
1. Optika6 2.5-15x44 SFP Review
Brush and mountain hunting can be made easier with the right equipment, and the Meopta Optika6 2.5-15x44 can get it done. With excellent glass quality, long eye relief, and illumination if you want it, the Optika is made to excel in the hunt.
Pros:
- SFP reticle
- Throw lever
- 30mm tube
- Multiple reticles
- Long eye relief
Cons:
- Heavy
The Optika 6 is on the heavy end for a scope of its configuration, weighing in at 27.3 oz, but it’s justified. To elaborate on its potential performance, it’s available with multiple types of reticles from calibrated .223 to .308 reticles to Dichro, BDC, and Plex designs.
Reticles that have illumination have Meopta’s RD Illuminated Reticle System that provides a well-defined red dot. With eight illumination settings, intermittent off positions, and the control on the side focus (SF), it’s a convenient feature for dim conditions and lowlight hunting like in the timber.
With a SFP reticle, it’s convenient to have the throw lever to quickly move to 15x and holdover if need be. If you’re mountain hunting, you may encounter some long shot opportunities. The SF will take care of parallax and focusing, and the turrets are resettable to your zero. For dialing in, you have ¼ MOA adjustments and a generous 70 MOA (approx.) of travel thanks to the fat 30mm tube.
For those who wear glasses or appreciate the forgiving eye box of long 3.94” of eye relief, this is the hunting rifle scope that is visually comfortable and easy to sit behind.
From its submersible and tough aluminum build to its MeoShield external lens coating, it’s obvious that the Optika6 2.5-15x44 SFP ready for the conditions of a Fall or Winter elk hunt.
2. Optika6 5-30X56 FFP BDC Dichro Review
To truly have an appreciation for the nice things in life, we felt obligated to shine the spotlight on the extreme end of the Optika6 Series, the 5-30x56 rifle scope.
Pros:
- FFP reticle
- Side focus
- Dichro tech
- 34 mm tube
- ED glass
Cons:
- Price
As the premium and largest scope for the series, it sports a hefty price tag close to a grand. But, in real world comparisons to scopes of similar quality, it's more affordable than what's out there. With that perspective, you'll appreciate the enormous 34 mm tube that allows for generous adjustment travel with 25 MOA per revolution on the tall, exposed turrets - we can't forget to mention the zero stop and resettable turret function (awesome!).
The BDC reticle is illuminated and yet it's battery-free. The real kicker with the reticle is the DichroTech coating that allows for maximum reticle visibility by auto adjusting crosshairs to changing light conditions for all terrains and for faster target acquisition against any predator.
Of course, glass quality is always an essential part of the equation and with ED elements and Schott glass combined, you have the makings of a crystal-clear sight picture to get on target any time, any day. To counter for parallax for those extreme long shots you'll be making, the scope has a third turret with the side focus function.
This Optika6 5-30x56 is extreme in size, range, and features. Quality of this kind is reserved for those who shoot and hunt to the extremes.
3. Optika6 3-18X56 FFP 4D Dichro Review
A 56 mm objective might seem too large and heavy for your mid to long-range needs, but what's a little more weight for a lot more low light benefits? Illumination, a huge aperture, and superior glass means a year ahead of bull's-eyes and filled tags.
Pros:
- FFP reticle
- DichroTech
- 30 mm tube
- Zero stop
- Side focus
Cons:
- Price
This 3-18x scope is right in the middle of the Optika6 series when it comes to magnification specs and price. In terms of street price, it's still up there for most buyers even if it has all the premium features of the most expensive scope in the series.
The 4D Dichro reticle features duplex crosshairs with thick, illuminated 3, 6, and 9 o'clock posts with an illuminated center dot. The dichroic technology consists of a specialized coating that allows for multiple reticle color configurations to allow for maximum reticle visibility. Essentially, it adapts tone and color to changing light conditions regardless of the terrain be it snow, heavy timber, or open fields. So, you can always see the reticle without it obstructing any part of the target in any lighting condition you shoot and hunt in.
Additional premium features of the Optika6 3-18x56 include a 30 mm tube, side focus, and an FFP reticle. You have a tall, exposed elevation turret with a zero stop while the windage turret is capped. High-grade glass, a highly visible reticle, and specs made for high performance means you get to stay out longer and see clearer and further than the competition.
4. Optika5 4-20x50 RD Review
The Meopta Optika5 brings the bells and whistles to the traditional 1” tube and SFP reticle. For close to long-range performance, the 4-20x50 covers it all in the hunting field.
Pros:
- RD illumination
- SFP reticle
- Low to high power
- Long eye relief
- Lightweight
Cons:
- Only 2 RD reticles available
The 4-20x50 RD model offers versatility for close-range engagement and a side focus that caters from 10 yards to long-range shots. Making those long distance shoots is possible with 20x magnification and a reticle with hashmark holdovers.
What you save in weight and length is no compromise as it still provides decent 60 MOA (approx.) of travel in windage and elevation. Adjustments are in ¼ MOA, so it has maximum accuracy potential when dialing in.
Getting to max power is easy with the included throw lever that gets you there fast. Given that it has a SFP reticle, it doesn’t change size and is visible in lowlight and at low power for all things hunting. Of course, the red dot provides an edge.
The Optika5 RD scope is available with only two reticles: RD BDC-3 and RD Z-Plus. The RD represents Meopta’s Red Dot Illumination System, so both have an illuminated red dot center point. For a simple Plex reticle, you’ll need to opt for the non-illuminated model.
With eye relief of 3.62”, it’s comfortable to use with or without glasses and the eyebox should be rather forgiving even considering high power at 20x. It’s outfitted to handle harsh conditions by being fogproof, submersible, and has hydrophobic coated lenses.
The Optika5 4-20x50 sets a very high standard of build and optical quality even in a 1” tube SFP scope. For the price, it will be difficult for competing manufacturers to top.
5. MeoStar R2 2.5-15X56 RD Review
The MeoStar R2 is the flagship line for Meopta. With high status comes high cost. Are you ready to pay up?
Pros:
- Glass-etched reticle
- RedZoneTM
- Illuminated reticle
- Capped turrets
- 30 mm tube
Cons:
- No parallax adjustment
No side focus? Nope. This too comes as a surprise to us as 15x magnification may present some parallax issues out in the field. However, it's not a deal breaker, although the high price may be.
As a scope in the flagship series, it has the works. A 30 mm tube is crafted to be hard, scratch-free, and non-reflective. MeoDropTM is a hydrophobic lens coating that will repel all microbes that dare set foot to obstruct your sight picture. No mud spot, snowflake, or raindrop will be able to maintain form on the lens and in combination with MeoShieldTM, it will remain scratch-free when you forget you're not supposed to wipe your glass.
The 4K reticle has RedZoneTM tech that allows for 8 brightness levels with intermittent "off" positions on the dial. And, with a large 56 mm objective lens and low 2.5x power, you'll be seeing details needed to make those last-minute shots at last legal light.
You can always power up your magnification if you head out West for some long-range hunting. No need to buy a new scope. The MeoStar R2 is your one-stop, one-shop rifle scope for any and every hunt.

Get rid of your old binos and with it your foggy perspective. Upgrade with Meopta and get a better view of the world not unlike looking through rose-colored glasses.
1. MeoPro Optika 8X42 HD Review
New to the game, the Optika 8x42 is a welcome addition to the Meopta family of optics. However, it's not without appeal just because it's an affordable option.
Pros:
- Price
- Aluminum eyecups
- Magnesium chassis
- HD glass
- Dielectric coating
Cons:
- Generic appeal
This Optika bino has everything going for it maybe except for its generic appeal. There's nothing special about its look, but when it comes to value, it has more than its fair share.
The glass has HD fluoride elements to bring HD definition to the field or the timber. Dielectric and phase correction coatings further add to a bright, clear, and color-true sight picture for a well-defined look at your target.
To catch more than a glimpse of fast-moving birds, the wide 393 feet FOV and long 17 mm of eye relief will come in handy. You might also appreciate knowing the close focus distance of 8.2 feet/2.5 meters.
To keep up with all the use and abuse you'll put the Optika 8x42 HD through like it falling from tree stands and dropping into puddles, the rubber armor, magnesium chassis, and aluminum eyecups were a design move made just for you.
2. Optika LR 10x42 HD Review
Meopta released a laser ranging binocular of their own, the Optika LR 10x42 HD. With 2600 yards of ranging power and Meopta’s reputation for stunning glass, it offers the best of both worlds.
Pros:
- 2600-yard range
- Fluoride glass
- Angle compensation
- Magnesium chassis
- Tripod mounting
Cons:
- Price
The Optika LR falls right in line pricewise with other ranging binoculars, but you can find alternatives with ballistics technology for a similar price. The Meopta LR binos lack applied ballistics.
What it does have is angle compensation, a ranging engine for 2600-yard reach, and fluoride glass. The 2600 yards is on the low end for the 5000-yard ranging binos we’re seeing today, but it’s still impressive given its accuracy of +/-1-yard to 1000 yards and +/-2 yards to 2600 yards.
It has an OLED display with adjustable brightness settings, Auto, Scan, and Brush modes, and readouts in either yards or meters. A fantastic feature is the tripod mounting threading for ultimate stability and precision ranging. Not all LR binos come with tripod adaptability, so it’s worth pointing out.
Meopta’s optics are consistently put up against Swarovski and that manufacturer is tough to beat. Admirably, the Optika’s do a decent job optically with eliminating chromatic aberration and maintaining resolution in lowlight conditions.
With a magnesium-alloy chassis, fog and waterproof body, and a comparable weight of 32.6oz to alternatives, the Optika LR 10x42 earns its place in the hunt and field. The extra cost may be justified by the higher quality glass.
3. MeoStar B1 Plus 15x56 HD Review
Meopta goes big with big glasses for big country. 15x56 is a popular configuration for Western country hunting and built with the features trophy hunters want, the B1 Plus has it all.
Pros:
- Fluoride glass
- Schmidt-Pechan prisms
- Locking diopter
- MeoBright coatings
- Aluminum-alloy chassis
Cons:
- Minor upgrades
The new MeoStar B1 Plus binoculars are the improved and upgraded versions of the now discontinued B1 series. The new design sports a remodeled ergonomic rubber armor as everything is now about minimizing user fatigue.
It maintains the locking diopter correction on the focus knob and tripod mounting compatibility. New with the B1 Plus is the exterior hydrophobic coating to help shed water and the like.
The 15x56 HD binoculars have compact Schmidt-Pechan prisms with ED fluoride glass for maximum optical quality combined with Meopta’s proprietary MeoBright coatings. There was a slight 3% increase in light transmission.
Internal reinforcements to the aluminum-alloy frame were made to improve durability, but the overall weight of 43 oz (approx.) and compact size remain the same. The MeoStar B1 Plus is still just as waterproof and fogproof with nitrogen-purged chambers as the good ‘ol version.
4. MeoPro Air 10x42 HD Review
Meopta joins the trend of manufacturing open-bridge binoculars with the MeoPro Air series. Given that open-bridge binos are known for their ergonomic and compact frames, the Air binoculars will be well-known for their fatigue-free handling.
Pros:
- Open, dual-hinge design
- HD optical system
- Magnesium chassis
- Diopter/focus knob combo
- Good FOV
Cons:
- Price
The Air binoculars are by no means cheap even given their open-hinge design. What really ramps up the cost is the HD optics, magnesium chassis, and 2-in-1 focus and diopter knob.
The dual-hinge, open-bridge style makes a binocular easy to use with one hand with weight distribution allowing for ergonomic handling. The entire body is rubber armored, and there is rarely a complaint about Meopta’s shockproof and scratch-resistant armor if you can find one at all.
For a 10x42 configuration, the specs are well done. It has good eye relief of 18mm and a wide FOV for a 10x42 with 360 ft at 1000 yds. The size is within what we consider standard for mid-size binoculars. However, its weight is somewhat on the heavy end at 29.2 oz for today’s standards for the all-purpose configuration.
Interesting is the design for the objective lens caps. They’re individual, separate caps made for the Air bino but have a magnetic attachment. You may see the benefits in this innovative design, or you may see unnecessary hassle when the magnets stick to everything else that presents a stronger pull. Food for thought?
The MeoPro Air binoculars have been long awaited, and at half the price of a Swaro pair, you could call that a cost savings. It certainly ranks in near the top for cost when it comes to high-quality, open-hinge binoculars.
5. MeoPro 8X32 HD Review
It's the smallest bino of the entire Meopta lot. Don't underestimate small things from this brand since small can pack a punch.
Pros:
- Wide FOV
- Long eye relief
- Lightweight
- HD glass
- Fog/waterproof
Cons:
- Price
These mini binos have a price tag that outweighs its compact and lightweight magnesium frame. Even though it only weighs 21.1 ounces and has 32 mm objective lenses, it's still pricier than larger Meopta binoculars on the shelves.
While it's not a MeoStar optic, it does sport a long list of features worth paying for. The small objectives have ED glass elements to provide HD quality glassing. Color fringing is a thing of the past and pin-point resolution, increased contrast, and brighter images are the standard of the future.
With its magnification to aperture ratio, you can bet this has the largest field of view than any other binocular from Meopta. With 435 ft/1000 yards FOV, it even surpasses the 416 ft/1000 yards FOV of the MeoStar B1 8x32. While compact binos are notorious for poor eye relief, this isn't the case with the MeoPro. A decent 17 mm will get it done for every bino user - with or without glasses.
For targets on the move or for hunting and observing in thick terrain like the woods, a MeoPro 8x32 has its place and that's in your pocket.

A Meopta spotting scope is intended to be your one-time scope buy - ever. Maximum magnification, maximum objective lenses, and maximum performance is the guarantee.
With HD European glass, you can focus on the details whether they be bullet groupings at the shooting range or counting points in lowlight during the last 5 minutes of legal light in the hunt.
For the most portable and compact scope system, a one-piece body, or an interchangeable eyepiece system, there's a Meopta spotter bound to fit your needs. And, when you buy one, you'll also receive a pinch-lock objective lens cover, lens cleaning cloth, and either an eyepiece bayonet mount cover or eyepiece cover.
Look no further if you want to get the most value out of a high-end spotting scope system. They're too expensive to buy twice - so, buy once and make it a Meopta.
1. MeoStar S2 82 HD Angled Review
There aren’t that many manufacturers that make spotting scopes to the quality of the Meopta MeoStar S2. With an interchangeable bayonet eyepiece system, they can get very expensive. But when you demand the best, the cost is happily paid.
Pros:
- Angled
- HD Optical System
- 82mm aperture
- APO optics
- Lightweight
Cons:
- Eyepiece sold separately
All potential buyers of high-quality, interchangeable eyepiece spotting scopes must know that the eyepiece is rarely ever included with the purchase price of the spotting scope body. Meopta follows that trend, and you can expect to pay hundreds more for the eyepiece.
The eyepiece for the S2 82 HD spotting scope is the 20-70x zoom eyepiece. Meopta added 20x more magnification by adding 10x on the low end and 10x more on the high end. It makes things a lot more versatile and allows for the optics to keep up when you’re consistently sitting in the higher powers.
The body on this S2 82 model has the angled design. This is excellent for those who are birding, scanning up towards ridges and saddles, and even those who want to dabble in amateur astronomy. The angled design negates the need to adapt neck contortion talents.
For the price, the S2 spotting scope better have the best optics that Meopta can provide, and it does. The objective is made with an APO triplet with ED fluoride glass and the coating works with Meopta’s proprietary formulas.
While much more expensive than your non-interchangeable eyepiece spotting scopes, it still comes at less cost than other competing manufacturer’s spotters for the similar configuration. If you can’t afford Swaro prices, Meopta might be the only worthy, affordable alternative.
2. TGA 75 Review
Not every outdoorsman is set up to be stationary. If you're the type that has ants in your pants and you're itchin' to be movin', the TGA 75 collapsible spotting scope won't let you miss a beat.
Pros:
- Price
- Compact
- Lightweight
- Free hand use
- Body only
Cons:
- Not fog/waterproof
The price for this spotting scope is still on the hefty side, even if it is a collapsible scope. However, it's still under $1000 and will still be cheaper than a body only spotting scope even after you've bought an eyepiece for the TGA. But, the real downer for the price is that it's not waterproof and it has no fogproof protection.
Because of its draw-tube design, part of the scope retracts into itself making for a shorter (9.8") and more compact (44.1 oz) unit for packing and stowing away while hiking or hunting. While the TGA is tripod compatible, you can ditch the weight of toting a tripod around and use this baby free hand by steadying yourself against a tree or a rock.
The 30x WA R (Wide Angle Ranging), 30x WA, and 20-60x eyepieces are compatible with the scope - and yes, you read that right, there's an eyepiece with a standard ranging reticle available only for use on the TGA 75.
Pack on the benefits of an aluminum body, MC (Multi-coated) and MeoShield coatings, and premium grade optics and you have a scope that can keep up with your pace as you hit the trails.
3. MeoPro HD 80
For a high-end spotting scope that almost rivals the flagship series of scopes, the MeoStar S2, it's worth snatching up a MeoPro HD 80 if you want to keep prices well below two grand.
Pros:
- Price
- Angled
- Integrated eyepiece
- HD glass
- 80 mm objectives
Cons:
- Price
Its price is both a highlight and deterrent for real-time shooters. Yes, it's an all-in-one package for a traditional-style spotter that comes in under $2000, but the reality is it will cost you almost $2000 in real-time money for it.
However, in terms of quality, it's practically the same spotting scope as the MeoStar S2 82. Both are premium spotters with fog/waterproof and submersible protection with magnesium chassis, and Centric-Drive focus controls.
The MeoPro also features HD glass elements, MeoDrop, MeoBright, and MeoShield coatings with Twilight Optimized tech for the brightest, most color-accurate, and sharp sight picture you can achieve with a spotting scope.
The MeoPro 80 HD has all the premium features you want in a scope with a traditional, one-piece body.
4. MeoStar S2 82 HD Straight Review
Extraordinary hunters and marksmen do things against the grain. Things like trying to spot trophy racks at extreme distances. They carry tons of weight just for the satisfaction of filling a once in a lifetime tag or achieving the tightest MOA grouping possible at unbelievable ranges. If you want to be extraordinary too, you'll need an S2 to hang out with these guys.
Pros:
- HD glass
- Multiple coatings
- Interchangeable eyepiece
- CentricDrive focus
- Magnesium chassis
Cons:
- Price
The jump up in price from a MeoPro spotter to a MeoStar is significant. They share the same HD/ED fluoride glass for pristine image quality with no color fringing and the best resolution and contrast you can get. Multiple coatings to maximize light transmission and protect the lenses include MeoDrop, MeoShield, and MeoBright.
A magnesium and aluminum body provide a weight-to-strength ratio needed to be practical for field use, and the CentricDrive focus is fast and easy to use.
However, the MeoStar S2 isn't your ordinary one-piece spotter. It differs from the MeoPro with its interchangeable bayonet eyepiece system that brings the spotter up-to-date with its advanced competitors.
The 30-60x WA eyepiece allows for a wide angle sight picture and the 20-70x eyepiece gives you a very wide and generous high range of magnification. A quick-release system makes it a breeze to use.
The MeoStar S2 straight spotting scope is a first-rate optic. It's a worthwhile investment if you're capable of doing what others only dream of.
Meopta Red Dot Sight Reviews

| CHECK PRICE |
Meopta knows what you want before you do. They know what you're thinking.
They know that size matters. When you need a red dot that can be mounted to either a pistol, shotgun, or rifle, quality matters. When shopping for a red dot on a budget, buying right the first time matters.
Fortunately, Meopta gets it. They get that a durable red dot aiming system, compactness, and parallax-free features are priority needs in a sight. They get that adding automatic features, a 3 MOA dot, and Docter mounting plates provides a winning combination of rapid target acquisition and close-range effectiveness in a mini package.
Are they telepathic? Nah - they're just that good at what they do.
MeoRed Review
- ULTRA-COMPACT REFLEX SIGHT - Developed for accuracy and speed in three-gun competitions, Meopta's MeoRed 30 Reflex Sight is an ultracompact and lightweight reflex sight...
- MEOBRIGHT- A proprietary ion-assisted lens multi-coating for these scopes developed by Meopta, eliminate glare and reflections and delivers an industry leading 99.7%...
Need a low profile red dot sight for a pistol? The MeoRed's ultra-compact size has everything to do with its suitability for 3-gun competitions, law enforcement use, and home defense.
Pros:
- Ultra-low profile
- Compact
- Lightweight
- Auto shut-off
- 3 MOA dot
Cons:
- Poor battery life
300 hours on a CR 2032 battery isn't great. But, thanks to the auto shut-off feature which activates after 3 hours of non-use, you'll conserve battery life where you can.
The ultra-low profile makes it an ideal red dot sight for mounting to handguns or rifles where you want it to co-witness with your iron sights. It's super lightweight - weighing only a mere 1.1 ounces, and it's about as big as the MeoSight III which is still very small - 1.9 x 1.1 x 1 inches.
It has a 3 MOA dot that is highly visible and quick to locate for the rapid-firing competitions and scenarios you'll find yourself in. The 17 x 23.5 mm sight lens has the works when it comes to optical coatings - MeoShield and MeoBright work to provide the brightest sight picture on military-grade surface hardness and scratch-resistant glass.
The MeoRed is water and shockproof, and it's covered under Meopta's Lifetime Warranty. It's clear why this red dot is good for everything from tac use to timed shoot-outs and home defense protection.
