First Look: MeoPro Optika LR Rangefinding Binoculars

MeoPro Optika LR 1

With an exceptionally powerful rangefinder and crystal-clear glass, MeoPro Optika LR binos go the distance … and then some.

Some things were just meant to go together. Clock and radio, peanut butter and jelly, laser rangefinder and binoculars. Long-range shooters, hunters and any other marksman that appreciates improved function and less bulk in the field get why that last example is so important. Thankfully, the marketplace has provided.

Among the latest entry into this specialized corner of the shooting world, Meopta’s MeoPro Optika LR series. As the “LR” at the end of its name suggests, the glass is tailored for long-range shooters who routinely push the limits of their rifle’s range and those who hunt open country. This not only goes for glass engineer to go the distance, but also the laser rangefinder that goes the extra mile.

The MeoPro Optika LR line encompasses two models—10×42 HD and 8×50 HD—each with impressive range-finding capabilities. The integrated laser rangefinder measures out to 2,600 yards in the 10x binos and out to 2,950 yards in the 8x. Additionally, the rangefinder features three ranging modes—auto, near ranging and far-ranging. Auto is a continuous setting, giving shooters constant readings on a moving target. Far and near ranging are just like they sound, measuring the distance to the furthest and nearest objects in the aiming circle. The rangefinder also puzzles out incline data, in case a shooter finds themselves above or below their target’s elevation

The binoculars have a simple push-button operation, intuitively situated at the top of the optics and automatic shutoff to extend battery life. Able to read in both yards and meters, the MeoPro Optika LR optics also has four levels of brightness for a clear display in all lighting environments.

As for the optics proper, the Optika LR line boasts HD fluoride glass, coated with the company’s MeoLux lens coating. The combination produces exceptionally clear and bright images, with maximum resolution and contrast. Ample objective lenses do their part to ensure low-light functionality Housed in a lightweight magnesium alloy body, with rubber armoring, the MeoPro Optika LR binoculars withstand rough treatment and brutal environments. As for price, the 10×42 HD has an MSRP of $1,499.99 and the 8×50 HD an MSRP of $1,874.99.
