I am happy to help out anyone who has any issues at all with a Meopta product. I have been working with them for almost 3 years now and one thing I know for sure is that Meopta cares about the quality of the product that leaves the Czech Republic. Fortunately, it is a rare occasion that someone reaches out to me for a warranty issue. I have multiple Optika5/6's, some with over 1000 rounds under them (expensive these days!), and no issues. For the price, in my opinion, it is darn tough to beat what Meopta makes.
