Meopta 3-18×56 Optika 6 RD SFP Riflescope (BDC-3 RD Illuminated Reticle)

Description

Aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum monotubes enclose the Meopta 3-18×56 Optika 6 RD SFP Riflescope built for high-magnification field shooting. Configured with a 30mm tube, 1/4 MOA turrets, and 90 MOA elevation travel, this optic uses the BDC-3 RD illuminated reticle. Illuminated holdover points speed aiming in fading light, though the second focal plane layout calibrates holdovers strictly at 18x.

Constructed with a continuous 30mm aluminum monotube, the housing prevents optical misalignment during violent rifle discharge cycles. Fully multi-coated lenses feature MeoBright anti-reflective layers that achieve 91 percent light transmission for sharp contrast against shaded backgrounds. This Meopta illuminated riflescope measures 14.5 inches overall, weighs 33.5 ounces, and features complete nitrogen gas purging that meets IPX7 waterproof standards.

Key Features of Meopta 3-18×56 Optika 6

Long-range hunters buy Meopta 3-18×56 Optika 6 riflescope packages to resolve distant game under difficult low-light shooting conditions. The large objective lens and illuminated holdover reticle simplify long-range bullet placement.

• 30mm structural aluminum chassis supports 90 MOA of internal elevation movement
• 3-18x magnification ratio provides dynamic target framing from woodlots to open plains
• 56mm objective lens ensures bright imaging through deep forest shadows
• 1/4 MOA capped turrets protect zero settings against brush snagging in the field
• Optika 6 BDC-3 RD reticle provides illuminated ballistic holdover points
• Second focal plane construction preserves fine wire thickness at every zoom power
• Side parallax focus wheel tunes optical sharpness from 10 yards out to infinity
• MeoShield exterior coatings guard optical glass against surface scratching

Internal Erector Dynamics

Hardened erector components supported by dual coil springs prevent zero drift through 1000G recoil cycles on heavy magnum hunting calibers. Turret screws deliver precise 1/4 MOA click values with tracking accuracy within 1 percent across the 90 MOA travel range. Operating reliably between -20°F and 140°F, this Optika 6 erector prevents reticle shifting during severe weather extremes.

Chassis Ring Alignment

With 5.6 inches of ring mounting space, this chassis mounts cleanly onto long-action bolt rifles or one-piece rails. Fasten ring top screws to 16 in-lbs of torque, and secure base mount cross-bolts to 45 in-lbs. Expansive 3.94-inch eye relief prevents scope contact under recoil, while the 56mm objective bell requires high scope rings over heavy barrels.

Stand Field Operation

The zoom adjustment ring rotates with smooth 12 in-lbs torque to maintain set magnification levels when pulling the rifle from soft cases. This 33.5-ounce scope is not designed for featherweight alpine mountain rifles where ounces matter, nor for fast-handling tactical shotguns.

• Remove lens surface dust using optical brushes and lens cleaner every hunt
• Check mount clamping screws with a precision torque driver every 250 rounds
• Test illumination dial contacts and clean battery compartment threads every 12 months
