Meopta Optika6 3-18x56 FFP - Z-Plex

Anybody have one of these? Opinions?

I read good things about the Optika 6 in general. Weight seems to be the biggest downside but that isn’t always a negative.

However it baffles me why they would make a FFP “Plex” reticle. I can’t think of a single advantage of a FFP plex reticle, only disadvantages. I’d love to hear it If someone can make a case for FFP plex reticle over a SFP plex reticle.

My two complaints about the Optika line are the Star Trek looking magnification ring and like BH2 said, the weight. I really liked the glass and LOVE the dichrotech/dichroic reticle .... the one I had was a sfp scope

They make all the model in FFP and SFP. So to get a FFP with a Plex....to answer buckhunter2's question.... I bet that's "on sale". Low Light maybe? Would not be my first choice.

Great scopes otherwise.

I really like FFP Plex reticles for hunting. Reticle gets larger as you increase the zoom, which seems to help in low light

Yes nycameraland has them on clearance for 549

Yes but it’s useless on lower power in low light and it’s too fat on high power for precision work.

Depends, really. The ones I have are fine at low power, and I don't have any issues on the 300 and 500 yard targets on the range at my club.

I ordered the optika5 3-15x44 today. Should have it middle of the week then I’m hitting the range

Brett let me know when you get results

I hunted last year with the Optika6 3-18x56. It performed great in low light and helped me take a nice buck at legal shooting time. I had been watching him for at least 15 min waiting for legal time. I then loaned my rifle to a friend's nephew and his girlfriend and they both took nice bucks using it. I have had that scope on a springer air rifle and a .375 H&H with zero issues. This year I have the new Optika5 4-20x50 scope on my Rem. 700 SPS .308 Win. I dialed it all in and took a coyote at about 200 yards loping along and a pig at 100 yards 20 min after sunset. I couldn't be happier with this scope from Meopta. I have been doing some freelance work with them for about 18 months now and appreciate the quality products they put out to the hunter/shooter. I am also using the Optika6 in 4.5-27x50 and 5-30x56 on 6.5 CM's. Both rifles have shot to 827 yards and no issues with scope reticles or return to zero after dialing in my distance. 2 friends have 3-15's on order for their deer rifles this year and I'm certain they are going to be pleased. Any question's on these optics, feel free to drop me a note.

Took my Optika 5 out today. It’s on par with Meopro glass. It was 1pm when I was out shooting so wasn’t able to test it in low light. I the the 3-18x56 would be great for that. I run Meostar 3-12x56 with light dot #4 for my food plot set up and I could sit as long as needed lol. I think I will like the Optika pretty good. If I jump on another Bergara I think I’ll get another Optika 5 in the 4-20

I have Optika6 4.5-27 and 5-30 on my 6.5 CM Bergara rifles. Amazing accuracy and repeatability. I have been a Bergara fan since they showed up and now with Meopta, I think I am getting all the accuracy possible out of my rifles.
I Will keep the Optika6's on these rifles just because of the added elevation adjustment I get from the 30mm tube.

Ordered a 2-10x42 Optika5 today for a woods gun after handling a 4-20 model yesterday. Think I’m really gonna like it! Will have it in hand Friday.

Scott's Outdoors in Jay, FL has the Optika6's in 3-18x50 with DichroTech reticle for $499 right now.

Those are good looking scopes you got

I got a meopta 56 diameter 30 mm tube on my muzzleloader- great scope and great at low light

For the $ hard to beat

Thats a steal!

I’m a huge meopta fan but just wanted to point out that according to Doug at CameraLandNY (he knows his stuff), the glass on the meopta Optika 6 & 5 line is inferior to Meopro glass and of course Meostar glass quality.

The price reflects the glass quality, which is still certainly usable for 99% of most everyone’s application. So if it’s your first meopta scope, don’t make the mistake of thinking the glass is representative of the best they have to offer just b/c it’s the newest model out.

It’s actually the bottom tier for meopta in terms of glass quality that was designed to compete with the Vortex PST Gen 2 range of scopes.

Hunter Buck - I got a heck of a deal on a Zeiss Conquest at Sporting goods in Jay many years back and I heard about it from one of my friends who got good deal on high end scope there years prior to that

Sounds like they still putting out deals

I will check them again when I’m N market again
