Meopta Optika6 3-18x50mm FFP Field Evaluation

Aaaannnd, she’s done.

Two weeks ago it was working without issue and being used on a 12.5” 6.5 CM out to 1250m on 12x15” targets. Made a road trip, shot it yesterday- it had lost zero and did not adjust correctly. Shot it at 593 and 770. Impacts were all over the place. Shot it again today with a complete inability to zero.

It has had just under 3,000 rounds of 223, 6.5cm, 308, and various 300 Mags. Plus approx 2,500 rounds of 22lr. Most shots have been dialed.

You should dissect it and see what happened.
 
Hopefully it will go to Meopta and we'll get the report on it at some point.
 
Form, other than nightforce ,swfa , some lrhs,,,
What other brands/models do you have confidence in at this point ?

For general hunting use at medium to long range- S&B for the most part. Some Trijicons are decent. That might be about it.
 
@Formidilosus

Can you elaborate on which Trijicons?

I’m contemplating the Credo 2-10x36 FFP mil/mil but it has the obtuse tree in the reticle...same with Tenmile 3-18 FFP.

Mainly the Accupowers and Accupoints, don’t have enough use in the newest gens to state for sure, however most of just rebadged older versions.

I gotta say, this eval makes me feel a lot better than your TT eval. Even though the 4 Optika6s I have don't add up to the price of 1 TT.

Anyway, this is good news, and I have 1 of this same model. Actually, I kick myself over the 2 that I've sold.

These are great scopes, especially for the price.
