ZERO TECH vs Meopta Meopro ????

[bigfellascott]

Yes, but targets (wild dogs) did not appear much to my dismay!!! LOL

I think its use will be mainly for when you have a "hide" without a handy log to rest on. I am not sure of how handy it would be walking around. But it is an option that can be added or removed in seconds, so it has its purpose.

Yeah I find high mag a bit limiting with it's narrow FOV and the movement seen through the scope was off putting for me (using a bipod) I found I could actually shoot better with my 3-9 (less obvious movement and field of view was good too) compared to the 6.5-20 zeiss.

No experience with Zero Tech but once again a good vote for the Meopta, I bought one with the fine Z Plex and it's been great, had it on my .222 for about 3 years now for Roo culling, good light transmission, for cull work I generally run it at 8 or 10 power all the time but for longer range daytime stuff its good to have it to crank the power up. Am building a new rifle now for longer range roos so have just put a Shmidt and Bender 8x56 Klassik on my .222, and transferred the Meopta to my .25-06 which I'm hoping to use for longer range wild dogs. For the price as they are on sale alot at the moment they are brilliant if you ask me.

The new Meopta Optika (6x mag range) will be on par with the Meopro line - and will be a instant hit when they become available soon.

Hope to have a play with them in the weekend at SHOT in melbourne!!

yeah Im keen to take a look at the optik6 range, I do wonder if its a case of more features/new packaging or an improvement in glass.....

No contest Meopta all day

I personally wouldn't be putting High Mag scopes on a hunting rifle, I'd rather a 3-9 type thing, high mags good in theory but a PITA in reality where quick shots are often the norm and high mag is a PITA when it comes to shooting off hand and even off a steady rest out in the field as you see way too much movement when she's wound up makes life harder not easier IMHO and side parallax is another thing that's not needed in a hunting outfit where most shots are under 100m anyway in reality (occasionally you get a 200 plus shot but reality is most are a lot closer so high mag is a waste of time and money, buy better glass in a low mag range would be my advice,

100% agree with this and Meopta all the way.

thanks mikejay, so just a offshoot of Tasco and an attempt reinvigorate Tasco/bushnells premium range

It does appear that way.

Nice research skills there.

If Zero Tech could make scopes to match or exceed the old Japanese Tasco's ie World Class, World Class Plus, Euro , Titan then they would be well worth a look .

My thoughts were the same too Con. We have a couple of those old World Class scopes, bought in the 80's, and still working well. Given the Zero Tech price point, my suspicion is that they are a little more at the budget end then the old Tasco's were.
