Affordable adjustable scope?

[WA Coyote]

Meopta meopro on a mod 70 pre 64 , 25 in BARTLEIN cut rifleing 1-7.5 twist 6.5 PRC and a CURTIS AXIOM with a 26 in proof 1-8 with a AG composite 3-18 optica 6 .

Thanks… both those rigs should be accurate enough to discern good optics from bad. I'm glad they working for you.

The Optica 6 is Meopta's best effort yet, and the only one that really seems to be checking the boxes. It's still a little early in its career to be getting a trip to Canton, but they do seem rugged, reliable, and reasonably priced.

In that $800-$1000 range I'd prefer the LRHS2 4.5-18 that GAP offers.

Never been a Meopro fan, for above stated reasons.

I think the Athlon Chronus BTR should be on most list. To my eyes, it was/is clearer, crisper than my NF NX8, Zeiss, and my Leupold MK5. Tracking g has been perfect and the turrets are exact when dealing. The only draw back I have found is that they are heavy. The bare scope is 4 oz, IIRC, heavier than my MK5 in MKIV rings.

Those Alton scopes are nice ,and I have the one just under the Chronus , but in comparison my vote goes to MEOPTA . I guess it's just me but I don't like Chinese made scopes . That being said I think the CHRONUS is made in JAPAN . They are great scopes.

Yes, Chronus is made in Japan. I actually loaned my Meopta to a friend. His 10x Leupold from 1962 was a little yellowish trying to sight in his newly rebarreled 264 Win Mag, also purchased in 1962 according to him.

I run Athlon Cronus on several rifles and love them and tough as nails. As well Burris signature hd is very good but not as much info in the reticle but awesome glass
