Meopta MeoStar R2 1.7-10x42mm 30mmTube

[Beck]

Does anyone own one of these? I am looking at buying one, but they are impossible to find in stores. I am trying to determine the dimensions of the turret on the right hand side of the scope, would appreciate any help I can get

 

[Beck]

anyone?

 

[JHT]

@Ruraldoc has one.

 

[Manny R]

I have a MEOSTAR R2 1-6x24 RD for Sale if interested.

 

[Ruraldoc]

I have one. It’s mounted on a M70 Alaskan in 375 H&H.

I have the illuminated number 4 reticle.

I have shot maybe 50 rounds through this rig.

Optics are super clear, tracks well and holds zero.

1.7 power is low enough to keep both eyes open. 10 power is great for longer shots.

My friend JHT has a Swarovski with the same reticle and power range. The two scopes are very close in my opinion.

I think this Meopta is a great scope. Especially for a 375 for plains game plus buffalo.

I have one sitting right by me as so read this… I’ll measure the turret for you

 

[Ruraldoc]

I have used the rifle to shoot some hogs at very close range on my Boar Buster Trap.

You can use the 1.7 power very quickly at very close range when the animals are running in every direction

Turret diameter is 1 1/16 th inches. Protrusion from the scope body is 5/8th of an inch.

Mine used to be on a 9.3x74r double, but is now on my Heym 44b .270 win. It’s a nice scope.

 

[Canadaboy]

Those dimensions are with the turret cap on

 

[Ruraldoc]

I’ll try to measure mine tomorrow. Not accessible right now.

Well I am certainly jealous of that gun, and scope

I think I'll be buying one of these scopes in the next 10-12 days - I appreciate the help

I’m not sure if the seller is legit or not but about the only place I can find one with a 4C reticle in stock.

I have one on my 375h&h. Took my Eland at 163 yards, blesbok at 220 yards, and Zebra at 286 yards. Like @Ruraldoc said 1.7 up close and 10X you can reach out their.

 

[D.M.V]

I do not own one but I've tested two different meoptas at the range with other shooters I knew and I have to say I was a little jealous at the quality and prices for the scope compared to what I was running. The Czech's make nice stuff. Period. I know that the high end nightforce spotting scope line are just rebadged meoptas

The R2 1,7-10x42 has been "sold out, new deliveries expected soon" in my area for quite a while. I know, because I wanted to buy one.

I own a MEOPTA MeoStar R1 1,5-6x42RD that is amazing, not just for the money but in general. The reticle and red dot have worked very well for me for general hunting.

Only the very top level scopes have significant better glass than the Meopta MeoStar, and they come at 3-4 times the price.

I have one of these scopes on a rifle. A really nice piece of glass. I was very impressed with the glass. At last knockings of daylight it is a little behind a scope with a 50mm objective. $1,999 seems pretty spendy. They are cheaper in Europe.
