Schmidt & Bender Meta 3-18x42 FFP

• SBX or SBX-S Crossover Reticle: Designed for precise and dynamic shooting, these reticles offer excellent visibility at low and high magnification and provide accurate holdovers for long-range hunting and competitive applications.
• First Focal Plane Precision (FFP): The reticle scales proportionally with magnification, enabling precise holdovers, ranging, and point-of-aim consistency from 3× to 18× without the need for turret adjustments.
• Optimized for Clip-On Devices: The newly engineered diopter interface ensures smooth compatibility with thermal and night-vision clip-ons, making the Meta a modern and adaptable hunting optic.
• Refined Meta Design: A compact silhouette with improved handling, optimized turret geometry, and an ergonomic TMR magnification ring that supports optional throw-lever installation for rapid, positive zoom adjustments.
• Advanced Turret Systems: Choose between two turret configurations:
  • DT23 LT (elevation) / ST ZC LT (windage)
  • ST12 LT (elevation) / ST ZC LT (windage)
  Both setups feature locking turrets, Zero Stop/Zero Click functionality, tactile indicators, and robust mechanical reliability for harsh conditions.
• CW or CCW Rotation: The Meta allows the user to choose clockwise or counter-clockwise turret rotation depending on preference and shooting tradition.
• High-Performance Optical System: With 92% light transmission, excellent edge clarity, and a wide field of view from 14.5 m down to 2.4 m at 100 m, the Meta provides dependable performance from dense forest to open terrain.
• Rugged, Field-Ready Construction: Waterproof to 3 m, nitrogen-filled, shock-tested, and operational from –40 °C to +61 °C. Tenebraex flip caps for both objective and ocular lenses are included for ultimate protection.
• Built for Hunters & Competitors: Ideal for long-range mountain hunts, Scandinavian-style hunting, and competitive formats such as NRL Hunter, the 3–18×42 Meta FFP excels across dynamic shooting environments.
