Good review Chris, i have just bought on of these scopes for my FX King on the off chance really as i just liked the reticule when i looked through it in the gun shop but having used it over the last few weeks i just can't get over how well this scope just works for the money in fact i think they are just brilliant.
I love the older CZ rifles i have a CZ 453 varmint with a single set trigger and its amazingly accurate i bought it new around 12 years ago and they are super hard to find now ill never get rid of it because its as good as a 22lr can be
Excellent review . 👍Would you consider the optical performance to be on parr with a Sightron siii ? I've been considering one of these for the .223 , the Sightron is still a great scope though a little dated .
Spot on. Cracking scope. I use mine on various rifles: sub-12 air-rifle, 22Lr and 243Win. Its a scope that just works - good glass, no BS reticle, practical illumination and a well finished body. Threads are cut well, wheels turn smoothly, edges on zoom not too sharp and high quality, practical items included (throw lever, caps, battery, ballistic stickers). A well thought out product offering good value for money. Far superior glass to the base spec Helix - you get more sharpness at high mag and better low light performance. Superior build to Arken EPL4, similar glass, but the Arken is cheaper and glass superior to the standard Helix, which costs similar. Ideally, I'd like a bit less eye relief on all these scopes (see the ugly, unbalance mount on the CZ). I know they have to advertise them suitable for .50 nonsense, but 100mm is a lot and it can cramp a lot of sporting rails. Though it gives plenty of space for add-on NV.
As always, great review, thanks . One question, is this scope valid for hunting in dirven? I'm worried that its reticle is too fine and the illuminated center point is not visible in broad daylight
Nice Review what would you prefer for Hunting Meopta R2 2-12x50 Zeiss V6 2-12x50 or the Element 2-16x50 which has the better Glas and clearest Image I like the Meopta R2 2.5-15x56 more then the Zeiss V6 2.5-15x56 my Eyes like the Glas of the Meopta more how does the Element compare to the bigger European Players
The Zeiss still leads for image colouration but it's a different specification and price range so not a direct comparison. I have t used that Meopta models in parallel

Good video see you at the show.
thanks Chris, probably so!

That depends on what you want, quarry size, speed and range are critical considerations. The dot has adjustable intensity
@@chrisparkin431 It would be for wild boar hunting driven
