Meopta 1.7-10×42 MeoStar R2 Riflescope (RD BDC 3 Illuminated Reticle, Matte Black)

Description

Secure sharp extreme distance target resolution with the Meopta MeoStar R2 Riflescope, featuring an illuminated RD BDC 3 reticle, 42mm objective lens, and 30mm monotube. Tailored for mountain hunters and plains marksmen, it delivers 90 MOA total elevation travel with 1/4 MOA clicks, yielding daylight-bright aiming clarity while requiring disciplined eye placement at maximum magnification.

Machined from high-tensile 6061-T6 aluminum, the thick-walled 30mm chassis isolates internal erector gears from receiver strain. Premium European optical glass features proprietary MeoLux coatings, maintaining razor target edges in overcast dusk. Nitrogen purging eliminates internal moisture hazards, yielding IPX7 submersible sealing. Tipping scales at 21.0 ounces with a 13.0-inch length, this optic anchors hunting rifles, representing high-performance Meopta hunting optic engineering.

Key Features of Meopta MeoStar R2

Alpine hunters buy Meopta 1.7-10×42 MeoStar R2 RD BDC 3 scopes to combine brilliant illuminated center micro-dots with calibrated drop holdovers. The illuminated BDC 3 reticle provides clean, uncluttered crosshairs with windage compensation markers.

• 42mm objective lens gathers abundant ambient light while maintaining low receiver mounting clearance
• 1.7-10x magnification ratio spans mid-range timber shots and extended 800-yard open terrain shots
• 1/4 MOA capped turrets provide positive zero clicks without accidental field rotation
• 90 MOA total elevation stroke accommodates steep long-range ballistic flight paths
• Second focal plane illuminated RD BDC 3 reticle provides fine center dot illumination and hold lines
• Stepless rotary illumination dial includes continuous dimming across varied light conditions
• MeoStar R2 riflescope erector components absorb heavy recoil impulses from .300 Win Mag rifles
• MeoShield external coatings protect exposed lens elements against scratching and abrasion

Ballistic Travel Tracking Precision Limits

Hand-fitted internal erector systems utilize dual steel tension springs, maintaining tracking accuracy within 1 percent across the 90 MOA elevation span. The 1/4 MOA turrets offer distinct tactile detents, eliminating backlash under field zeroing. Tested to withstand 1000G shock loads, this optic tolerates continuous recoil from .300 Win Mag platforms. Thermal tolerances run from -20°F to 140°F, preserving erector lubricants without internal vapor release.

42mm Objective Scope Ring Placement

The 30mm tube requires medium scope rings to clear forward sporter barrel contours on bolt-action rifles. The central tube provides 5.6 inches of mounting space. Torque ring fasteners to 15 to 18 in-lbs and mount base nuts to 40 to 45 in-lbs. Eye relief sits at 3.8 inches, offering protection against heavy recoil.

Twilight Optic Usability Maintenance Routine

The magnification ring moves with positive mechanical resistance, allowing deliberate zoom selection without slipping. This versatile hunting optic is not engineered for close-quarters dynamic room clearing within 5 yards where unmagnified reflex sights dominate. Practice disciplined optical maintenance to preserve clean glass.

• Wipe dust and debris from optical glass using a clean lens cloth every 200 rounds
• Inspect scope mount fasteners with an accurate torque tool every 500 rounds
• Clean external turret threads and inspect rubber cap seals every 12 months
