Meopta is a definite upgrade on Leupold. The Meopta are a very good scope. I do not have any but mates do. By the time I was aware of them I had all my rifles scoped.I have a question for you folks.
I have a Weatherby Mark v in 300 Weatherby. Right now it is wearing a Leupold Vx-1 3x9x40 scope.
This rifle will mainly be used for hunting whitetails in open country. I hope to take this rifle elk or mule deer hunting in Colorado. Maybe a trip to Texas.
Anyways, I like to have a little more magnification, and I’m looking at a NIB Meopta Optika 5 3x15x44 scope that someone has for sale locally. It has their “Z-plus” reticle.
I have no experience with Meopta. I’ve never used or even handled one before. Do you all think this would be an upgrade from the Leupold?
I don’t want to send a whole lot on a new scope, but I’m open to suggestions.
A lot of my rifles wear Vortex or Nikons.
So what’s your all thoughts?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Buy the Meopta if the extra weight doesn't bother you. It is a much heavier scope, but it is also a much nicer scope.I have a question for you folks.

I did buy the Meopta scope. Haven’t had a chance to sight it in yet, but the little I’ve looked through the scope, I’m impressed.Buy the Meopta if the extra weight doesn't bother you. It is a much heavier scope, but it is also a much nicer scope.
