Optimized for low-light and long-range use, the Meopta 6-24x56 ZD RD Riflescope is outfitted with a large oversized objective and the proprietary MeoBright lens multi-coating system to deliver bright and clear views with accurate color and improved contrast and clarity at all magnifications. Threads in front of the objective lens accept filters, like polarized and neutral density, to enhance and improve views and image clarity in extreme conditions such as on snowy fields or on/near water during duck season.
Its partially illuminated reticle, located on the second focal plane, provides a clearly defined aiming aid in bright or dim light, and with more that 500 individual reticle intensities to choose from, users can select the brightness whether they are shooting in broad daylight or out on a nighttime hog hunt. Posi-click finger-adjustable MeoTrak II turrets deliver precise adjustments with easy repeatability with tactile and audible clicks that ensure accurate adjustments and return-to-zero in the field. With a 0.1 MIL per click impact point correction and a wide 24 MIL adjustment range on the elevation turret, users will enjoy precise shot adjustment with the ability to accurately compensate for ballistic drop at extreme long ranges.
To withstand the rigors of the outdoors, the housing is made of a lightweight and durable aluminum alloy, treated with a scratch-resistant hard anodized finish. A large diameter maintube not only complements the oversized objective to maximize light transmission through the optical system, it also adds the recoil strength required when mounting the scope on high-caliber rifles used in long-range hunting.
Optical Performance
- Broad 6-24x magnification range provides the ability to scan wide areas of the landscape on low power with the ability to zoom in and make positive identification of the target even at long range
- Large 56mm objective ensures views remain bright and clear, even in challenging and low light, or when acquiring smaller targets at long range on high magnification
- Proprietary MeoBright ion-assisted lens multi-coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces eliminate glare and reflections and deliver 99.8% light transmission per lens surface
- MeoShield ion-assisted external lens coating protects surfaces and delivers enhanced resistance to scratching or abrasion in extreme conditions
- 18-foot field of view at 100 yards on 6x, 5-foot at 24x power
- Generous 3.5-3.1" eye relief provides a large eye box for flexible mounting and more comfortable use
- Wide 9.1mm exit pupil at 6x is ideal for extreme low-light conditions; 2.3mm at 24x
Reticle Details
- Partially illuminated MilDot 2 reticle
- Mil-based duplex crosshair design
- Large non-illuminated hollow outer posts help keep view unobstructed
- Thin illuminated center hairs
- Alternating hash marks and open dots on all crosshair axes for hold-over/under, windage correction, and lead for moving targets
- Integrated range-finding markers are calibrated for accurate target estimation in standard calibers 7.62x51 NATO, .308, .338 WM, and 12.7mm
- Uncluttered design provides a clear field of view to more easily scan the terrain for targets
- Second focal plane placement: As you increase or decrease magnification, the apparent size of the reticle remains constant
- Continuous incremental reticle brightness provides 256 daytime-visibility levels and 256 nighttime/NVD-compatible levels for precise reticle intensity for any preference or situation
- Etched glass reticle delivers exceptional target definition for all shooting applications
