Meopta 2-12×50 MeoStar R2 Riflescope (RD BDC 2 Reticle, Matte Black)

Description

Aircraft-grade 30mm aluminum monotubes enclose the Meopta MeoStar R2 Riflescope, featuring an illuminated RD BDC 2 reticle, massive 50mm objective, and 30mm tube. Built for late-dusk big-game hunting, it delivers 90 MOA total elevation travel with 1/4 MOA clicks, yielding over 94-percent light transmission while collecting extreme twilight illumination.

Constructed from a single piece of aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, the 30mm chassis resists structural warping from over-torqued scope rings. Fully multi-coated optical glass surfaces feature MeoLux coatings that maximize photon throughput in dim dawn conditions. Dry nitrogen purging prevents internal fogging during cold morning shifts, achieving an IPX7 waterproof rating. At 21.0 ounces and 13.0 inches in length, this optic keeps hunting rifles balanced, highlighting practical Meopta hunting scope value.

Key Features of Meopta MeoStar R2

Stand hunters buy Meopta 2-12×50 MeoStar R2 RD BDC 2 scopes to extract maximum shooting light when trophy animals appear in fading light. The illuminated BDC 2 reticle provides illuminated center micro-dots and drop lines.

• 50mm Double HD objective delivers sharp resolution across challenging low-light hunting scenarios
• 2-12x zoom range bridges dense timber shooting and 800-yard open terrain precision
• 1/4 MOA capped turrets provide positive zero clicks without accidental field rotation
• 90 MOA elevation travel accommodates bullet drop on standard centerfire hunting loads
• Illuminated RD BDC 2 reticle provides micro-dot brightness for bright sun and dark timber
• MeoDrop hydrophobic coatings shed rain droplets and snow from external glass surfaces
• MeoStar R2 riflescope erector components absorb heavy recoil impulses from magnum calibers
• Continuous rotary illumination control offers eight brightness levels with half-click shutoff

Deep Twilight Optical Travel Bounds

Tempered internal leaf springs support the erector tube, eliminating tracking error across the entire 90 MOA travel spectrum. The 1/4 MOA turrets adjust clean with positive detents, maintaining true 1 percent tracking accuracy. Built to withstand 1000G shock loads, the system tolerates continuous magnum rifle firing strings. Operational temperatures span -20°F to 140°F, keeping internal damping lubricants stable without freezing or running.

50mm Objective Scope Ring Placement

Mounting this 30mm tube requires medium or high rings to ensure the 50mm objective bell clears sporter and medium contour barrels on bolt-action rifles. The central tube provides 5.6 inches of mounting space. Torque ring screws to 15 to 18 in-lbs and base hardware to 40 to 45 in-lbs. Eye relief sits at 3.8 inches, providing a safe, forgiving visual pocket.

Deep Dusk Usability Maintenance Routine

The illumination turret turns with positive mechanical resistance, allowing deliberate brightness selection without accidental movement. This large-objective optic is not engineered for ultralight mountain rifles where light weight is paramount, nor for non-magnified close-quarter combat. Practice systematic maintenance to ensure lifelong field reliability.

• Blow grit off optical lenses using clean air before wiping every 200 rounds
• Check ring mount fastener torque with an accurate tool every 500 rounds
• Clean battery contacts and install a fresh CR2032 cell every 12 months
