I thought Meopta rock solid until they did like many and wanted a larger market. Then you get the [censored] products at a lower price. Not unlike Husqvarna buying Poulan, they now have a “this is not what I wanted line, Optika” to grab the masses at an acceptable price. I’m not mad, their profits have to be up with more sales at a lower margin. Of course long term they have hurt their brand permanently. I’ll still buy Husqvarna made in Sweden but not Canada and Meopta made in the eastern block. I have a Meopro 6X scope and the glass is crazy good. I was disappointed to see them discontinue the Meopro scopes,

I think the Optika series was just an extension of the Meopro line---or at least it WAS for a time...I don't know about now. I have several Optika5s, and they are marked "Meopro." I never owned any of the older Meopro line so maybe the Optika series is not the same as the older ones, but I like these Optika5s just fine. I think they are every bit as nice optically as any VX-3 Leupold offered and maybe better. The adjustments work pretty well, too.
