Meopta adds to its popular 1-inch MeoPro riflescope line with the addition of the new 6.5-20×50 and 6.5-20×50 HTR (Hunt/Tactical/Range) long range scopes. Designed for long-range hunting and precision shooting, these long range scopes feature an extremely wide magnification range and side turret parallax adjustment.

These new high end Meopta long range scopes are suitable for long range bench rest shooting with airguns. They also could be used for hunting with PCP air rifles, particularly big bore models.

The MeoPro 6.5-20×50 is said to be ideal for hunting predators, varmint or big game at long distances, and its HTR variant for long-range hunting, tactical applications and target shooting. Parallax adjustment is from 50 yards to Infinity. Bench rest shooters are expected especially to appreciate the precise tracking and superior resolution of this scope.

Meopta’s other long range scopes, the MeoPro 4.5-14×44 and 4.5-14×50 also come in hunting and HTR versions with parallax adjustment from 30 yards to infinity. These models have are thus better suited as long range scopes for air rifles.

The MeoPro 6.5-20×50 is available with capped hunting turrets, and the MeoPro 6.5-20×50 HTR version features exposed target turrets.   Four different reticle options are offered to meet a variety of shooters’ needs:  Z-Plex, BDC, McWhorter HV and Windmax 8. These second focal plane reticles are non-magnifying thereby covering less of the target as power is increased.

“These long range new scopes are ideal for long-range shooters seeking accuracy and reliability,” said Reinhard Seipp, general manager and chief operating officer of Meopta USA.  “The MeoPro 6.5-20×50 is an all-purpose, long-range scope that is an outstanding choice for hunting varmint, predators or big game while the HTR version, in addition to being a great hunting scope, is also excellent for tactical applications and target shooting when precision is paramount.”

Designed for the American shooter and assembled in Meopta’s Long Island, NY facility, MeoPro riflescopes are claimed to deliver exceptional optical and mechanical performance.
