Meopta Optika 6 3-18x56 Overview

The Meopta 3-18x56 MeoPro Optika 6 RD SFP Riflescope combines powerful optics with a partially-illuminated second focal plane reticle and easy-to-use turrets to produce a scope that is optimized for mid- to long-range shooting and hunting in all light conditions—from the pre-dawn hours through the day and into late dusk.

Its broad zoom magnification range allows you to scan wide swaths of the terrain for targets on low power with the ability to dial it up and make positive identification with precise shot placement. A large oversized objective lens provides the immense light gathering ability required to keep views crisp and bright when viewing small targets at extreme long range on maximum magnification, and to enhance the view Meopta employs their proprietary MeoBright multi-coatings to the lenses to maximize light transmission and suppress glare. The combination of objective lens and coatings produce bright and clear high-contrast views with improved color representation. A generous eye relief and wide exit pupil at lower magnifications ensure easy and comfortable use—even in low light.

This "RD" version of the Optika 6 features an illuminated red center aiming dot with seven selectable levels to make it clearly visible in all light conditions without affecting your dark-adjusted vision at dawn and dusk when game is most active. Capped low-profile turrets keep dust and debris from fouling the adjustment mechanism, and with 1/4 MOA impact point correction and a wide 70 MOA windage and elevation adjustment range you can get on-target with speed and precision. A large 30mm maintube is employed to withstand the rigors of recoil, and the housing is made of aluminum with a scratch-resistant low-reflectivity matte black anodized finish. The housing is also nitrogen filled to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging in extreme conditions and temperatures.

Optical Performance
  • Wide 3-18x zoom magnification is ideally suited for mid- to long-range shooting and hunting, providing the ability to take in vast portions of the terrain on low power with the ability to dial up the magnification for positive identification and precise shot placement
  • Oversized 56mm objective lens provides the massive light gathering capacity required to keep views crisp and bright when viewing the smallest targets at extreme distances on maximum magnification, and also keeps views bright in challenging light conditions such as during the pre-dawn and late-dusk hours when game is most active
  • Ion-assisted MeoBright multi-coatings maximize light transmission to deliver enhanced low-light performance while suppressing reflection and glare
  • MeoShield coatings protect external lens surfaces and resist scratching and abrasion
  • Hydrophobic MeoDrop coatings repel water, grease, skin oils, and lens surface contaminants that can impair view clarity
  • 33.2-foot field of view on 3x, 6-foot on 18x
4C RD Reticle Details
  • Second focal plane placement: reticle appearance won't change as magnification moves power up and down, it appears the same at all power settings. Subtensions are accurate at one magnification and will need to be adjusted at others
  • Combination of duplex crosshair and German reticle design
  • Small illuminated center aiming dot provides enhanced shot alignment on-target in all light conditions
  • At long range the long, thick posts provide an easy-to-see center aiming point
  • At close range or high power the small center hairs provide increased shot placement precision
  • Uncluttered design provides a clear field of view to more easily scan the terrain for targets
  • Seven brightness settings that make the aiming point easy to see in all conditions, including bright daylight
  • Runs on one included CR2032 battery
Use and Handling
  • Large textured zoom ring with integrated lever for fast and easy power changes
  • Low-profile capped turrets ensure they won't get fouled by water, dirt, dust, or debris, while reducing snag hazard when moving through thick brush and branches
  • 1/4 MOA per click impact point correction
  • 90 MOA windage and elevation adjustment range
  • Parallax correction from 10 yards to infinity improves long range shot accuracy
  • M61x0.75 threads on objective lens allows the use of filters—such as polarizing or neutral density—to improve the view in challenging conditions like on/near the water or in snow
  • Comfortable 3.9" eye relief at all magnifications provides a generous eye box
  • Generous exit pupil at most magnifications ensures satisfying views throughout the zoom range
Construction Details
  • Robust 30mm maintube provides strength and stability, while offering the room needed for the wide windage and elevation range
  • Lightweight and durable aluminum housing
  • Matte black anodized finish reduces reflections and flares that can give away a position
  • Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in environment and temperature
  • 14.5" long
  • 30.5-ounce weight

The Meopta 3-18x56 Optika 6 RD SFP Riflescope (BDC-3 RD Illuminated Reticle), B&H # ME318X56B3, will use a variety of differently sized scope rings depending on the rifle it will be mounted to. 30mm is a standard size for many rifle mounts.
