While explaining about the variety provided in the Optika 6 riflescope line, Director of Meopta USA Sport Optics, Randy Garrison, said:
We have differentiated our Shooting and Hunting lines to make it easier for consumers to pick the scope that’s right for them, but obviously some hunters will find the first-focal-plane Shooting models more versatile, just as many target shooters will take our second-focal-plane Hunting series to the range.

Meopta Optika 6 Riflescopes – Why Should You Buy?
Meopta Optika 6 riflescope series upgrades the MeoPro series of scopes to the next level. It pairs the high-end performance of MeoPro riflescopes with 6x magnification range or zoom factor. Meopta has designed the new Optika 6 scopes for the discernable hunters/shooters who look for highly specialized, affordable optic.
- These Optika 6 scopes come with DichroTech reticles. They work particularly best in low light conditions and are designed for enhanced target acquisition. The special coating in these advanced DichroTech reticles provides you with battery-free illumination.
- New series of Optika 6 hunting scopes come with second focal plane reticles in multiple configurations. The reticles for these scopes are available for specific cartridges including .223 and 6.5 Creedmoor.

Other features you will find in these FFP scopes (except 1-6×24) include zero stop elevation and locking elevation turrets.
- For 3-18x and 4.5-27x Optika 6 models, exposed, locking elevation turrets are available. Therefore, you can make the required field adjustments (for taking precise shots) quickly. In fact, the exposed turrets also help you avoid the worry of bumping your rifle off zero.
- The Optika 6 4.5-27×50 riflescope model comes with the zero-stop feature. Therefore, the hunter/shooter can return-to-zero no matter how many times he/she wants. This provides enhanced repeatability to the users. No matter which ranges you are dialing, you can always return to zero instantly and repeatedly.
- The new riflescope series is equipped with the standard 30mm scope main tubes. This tube size provides shooters and hunters with ultimate durability as well as adjustment range.
- The Meopta Optika 6 5-30×56 riflescopes come with 34mm main tube. Therefore, shooters will get more space within the tube to make an enhanced adjustment to precisely hit the target in the long-range.
- These scopes are manufactured from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, making them practically indestructible.
- These riflescopes come with MeoBright lens coating, which ensures maximum transmission of light. This, in turn, helps to provide hunters and shooters with clear, vivid, bright, and sharp edge-to-edge images in all light conditions.
If you are a discerning hunter/shooter looking for premium scope performance at affordable price, the new Meopta Optika 6 riflescope series is ideal for you.
