I just finished a Red Deer Hind hunt with my son using the MeoSport R 3-15x50 RD. We put 60 rounds of .300 WM under it prior to heading out. Zero issues at the range or in the field. The range day was a warm 77 deg day, the hunt was windchills in the single digits. My son made a nice shot at just over 100 yards into a brushy thicket surrounded by tall trees that created a lot of shade. He turned on the illumination to assure an accurate 1 shot stop. Meopta's MeoStar R2 glass is almost considered the gold standard for low light visibility. Anyone who uses the MeoStar, myself included, will definitely have a low-light story to tell. The MeoSports have arrived in the US, I do not know of any dates for Canadian delivery. You can see pics and read more about the MeoSport R on the Meopta FB Page.

The MeoSport R scope has 2 more lenses (4 more glass surfaces for coatings- I do not know why). My son and I compared the Optika5 to the MeoSport R glass and felt that in daylight, the MeoSport R seemed to pop a little brighter, but in low light, we both thought the Optika glass was a tad better. Enough to make a difference hunting, doubtful. Just passing along my honest impressions of this new release from Meopta. Pics are on Meopta FB page.
