Meopta Sport Optics has announced the introduction of its new Optika5 2-10x42 PA riflescope with side parallax adjustment (PA) from 10 yards to infinity. This exceptionally versatile riflescope delivers razor-sharp image focus at close ranges, and gives hunters and target shooters the ability to dial in the focus at longer ranges. 

Meopta Optika5 2-10x42 PA Riflescope


Engineered to withstand heavy recoil, this newest addition to the Optika5 series is also designed for superb performance on centerfire, muzzleloader and slug guns, making it an excellent choice for hunting a variety of species from varmints to big game. It can be used with the Strelok Pro ballistic app and is built tough enough to handle the extreme bi-directional recoil of spring-piston air rifles.

The Optika5 2-10x42 PA features a 1-inch main tube diameter, 5x zoom, zero-reset turrets and advanced lens coatings for true color representation and unsurpassed low-light performance in its class. Meopta’s proprietary MeoBright lens coating delivers maximum light transmission per lens surface while suppressing reflection and glare, giving hunters the advantage of crisp images with optimal contrast. Images are clear even in the rain, thanks to Meopta’s MeoDrop hydrophobic lens coating which aggressively repels water and makes it easy to wipe off grease, skin oils and dirt.

Optika5 2-10x42 PA Capped Turret and Side Parallax Adjustments


Capped hunting turrets are made of rubber-armored metal for durability and functionality, and the rear-facing magnification display allows for easy viewing of the power setting from behind the scope. The zoom ring comes with a throw lever for quick adjustment of the power setting in the field or on the range. Windage and elevation adjustments are ¼ MOA. Two second-focal-plane reticles are available: Z-Plex or Z-Plus.

The Optika5 2-10x42 PA has a retail price of $349.99. For more information, visit meoptasportsoptics.com.
