[82 mm] I had the very fortunate opportunity to buy a pair of Swarovski binoculars from a friend of mine when he upgraded to a newer model, so to be completely honest I have been spoiled as far as quality optics go for a long time. Living out west and being an avid elk hunter I knew it was time to invest in a spotting scope. Being a cheapskate by nature, I bought a cheapie from Walmart, and I couldnt have been more disappointed. Returned the next day for a refund. At that point I became ravenous in my research for a relatively affordable high quality scope. Reading review after review online and talking with fellow hunters, it was between a high end Vortex and the Meopta..... but the deeper I delved into Meopta, the more I was sold on it. If you get a chance to research the history of Meopta, I completely recommend it. And knowing many high end companies rebrand their products including Cabelas, Nightforce and Zeiss using their glass on some of their line intrigued me deeply. As comparing it to Swaro or Leica, it was easily half the price. So I thought ok, its time to slap down that hard earned cash and make the big investment.
At the time of this review, I have only been in possession of this scope for a couple three weeks. In that time I have been to the shooting range and set up looking at the base of the Bighorn Mountains where I live. Other reviews I have read on the scope seem to be accurate, above 30-40 times magnification the fine focusing becomes slightly muddy, the ability to fine tune would be an added feature. But aside from that the Meopta is completely awe inspiring! From miles away blurry patches of timber and snow become a landscape with visual trees and parks and terrain features I never would have dreamed being able to see otherwise. Stellar! At the range, 350 yard shots are clearly viewed at 60X on paper.
My package did not include a warranty card and I called after hours to inquire, a call back was promptly returned from their office in the states

[82 mm] I mainly use this scope for long distance shooting. The clarity is amazing and the huge objective lens transmits a enormous amount of light through. It is definitely possible to use this scope up until last light and spot trace. The reason I am writing this review is because I recently had my zoom ring lock up after almost two years of light use. I sent the scope into Meopta and within a couple of weeks they sent me an entirely new spotting scope. I am very appreciative of how Meopta took care of me and am very satisfied with this scope.

[82 mm] the meopta meopro is a top quality scope. It is clear all through the zoom range. I am pleased with my purchase. B and H was easy to order from and I will purchase from them again.

[Straight] With the Meopta S2 20-70x Eyepiece it is better at all magnifications than my Razor spotting scope, however it did cost ~$1,000 dollars more.
My shooting partner and I had a chance to shoot 1,027yds, 1,119yds and 1,700+yds which is why I tried this spotting scope.
My Razor would have been fine up to the 1,119yds but the Meopta just made it much more easy to spot even at this distance.
At 1,700+yds the Meopta made a big difference in actually spotting impacts.
If you can afford to buy it I would say you will not be disappointed with the clarity and ease of focus at any distance.
If you are spotting Birds or looking at the Night Sky this is a very color accurate choice with a greater depth of field at all magnifications.

[82 mm] Have Five of the Meopta rifle scopes and have never been disappointed. This scope is a little heavy but the quality is from back to front, the resolution is something you would expect from a much more expensive scope. you defiantly get you moneys worth.
