Meopta Optika6 vs Vortex PST Gen 2

[new2mud]

Anyone compared an optika5 to an optica6?

Have 5s actually been seen in the wild yet? Those have been hard to locate!

Yup, I have one -- got it about 3 weeks ago

I have the 5-30 optika 6. It's been on 2 different .300 Win mags, and probably close to 800 rounds. no problems to speak of, I just wish it had a couple different features(capped windage) but, it was on my back for over 50 miles of hiking in Colorado this year and didn't have a single problem when it was party time.

I think the glass between 5 and 6 is supposed to be similar, if not the same. Lighter weight due to lower erector ratios and intended for the hunting audience.

I thought the weight savings was in the tube diameter 1" vs 30mm and also the zoom ratio, 5x vs 6x zoom

Right—forgot they went down to 1" tubes.

Bit of an old thread, but wanted to see if anyone had any new insights or used the two a bit more.

I'm looking for a range scope out to 1000y FFP and was thinking about the PST gen II vs Meopta maybe $800-$900. And for a hunting scope SFP in $500-$600 range. I know they're impossible to find so no timeline really. Just looking at the various Meopta vs the PST.

Well one key insight I will give you is that the Meopta Optika6 is not available in the United States with the MRAD reticle. Therefore it is not much of a choice.

After, 7 months of waiting, I canceled my order for the Meopta and I ordered the Athlon and the Vortex to compare. I may keep both as I have rifles for a both.

I have a meopta optika 6 with mrad reticle .

I live in Indiana and bought it from camera land.

I really prefer MOA since it's what I grew up on. That's sorta tipping the scales in favor of the vortex.
