Meopta MeoHunter R5 4-20x50 SFP

• 5x zoom range: The 4-20x magnification span covers everything from shorter woodland shots to more deliberate longer-range work, so the scope adapts well to mixed hunting and general shooting use.
• 50 mm objective with MeoBright coating: The large objective and MeoBright antireflective coating help maintain a clear sight picture and useful brightness in poor light, when game is often most active.
• SFP illuminated reticle: A second focal plane reticle keeps its apparent size constant through the zoom range, making the aiming picture easy to read at higher magnification while illumination improves contrast against dark targets.
• Locking tactical turrets: Tactical-style turrets with 0.10 MIL clicks, CCW rotation and locking function support precise corrections while reducing the chance of accidental movement during transport or field carry.
• Side parallax from 15 m to infinity: The wide parallax adjustment range helps keep the target and reticle on the same focal plane, which is especially useful for small targets, load development and longer shots.

About the Meopta MeoHunter Series

The Meopta MeoHunter R5 series sits in Meopta’s current sporting optics range as a practical line for beginning hunters and shooters who want modern riflescope features in a straightforward format. The series is built around a 5x zoom system, giving each model enough flexibility for varied field conditions without making the scope overly specialized. Across the range, Meopta offers both first- and second-focal-plane reticles, allowing users to choose between a reticle that scales with magnification or one that keeps a constant apparent size.

Reticle options in the series include 4C and BDC 3, and the illuminated versions use adjustable brightness to keep the aiming point visible in changing light. Meopta also states that these illuminated reticles can be used with night-vision or thermal-imaging devices, which broadens the series beyond ordinary daytime hunting use. In practical terms, the MeoHunter R5 family is designed as an accessible hunting optics platform: versatile zoom ranges, familiar controls, and a feature set that supports both general stalking and more deliberate shot placement from fixed positions.

About the Meopta MeoHunter R5 4-20x50 SFP

The Meopta MeoHunter R5 4-20x50 SFP is the higher-magnification option in the series for shooters who need more precision at distance while still keeping enough low-end magnification for general hunting use. Its 4-20x range makes it well suited to open-country hunting, varmint work and range practice, where the ability to inspect a target more closely helps with exact shot placement. The 50.00 mm objective supports a bright, usable image, while Meopta’s MeoBright coating helps preserve contrast and clarity in difficult light.

This model uses a second focal plane reticle, so the reticle appears the same size throughout the zoom range. In practice, that gives a familiar sight picture and keeps the aiming point easy to see when magnification is increased. Illumination adds visibility against dark backgrounds, and the auto turn-off function helps conserve the CR2032 battery during normal field use. The fast-focus eyepiece and -3/+2 diopter range make it easier to tune the reticle sharply to the shooter’s eye.

Mechanically, the scope is configured for precise adjustment. The 0.10 MIL click value is intuitive for shooters who work in metric corrections, while the locking tactical turrets help prevent unintentional changes after zeroing. With 23.30 mrad of elevation and windage adjustment, the scope offers enough travel for a broad range of hunting and target setups. Side parallax adjustment from 15 m to infinity is particularly useful when shooting small targets or working at higher magnification, where parallax error becomes more noticeable. A 30 mm tube, nitrogen filling, and waterproof, fogproof and shockproof construction round out a riflescope intended for regular outdoor use rather than occasional fair-weather shooting.

About Meopta

Meopta traces its origin to Optikotechna, established in Přerov, Czechoslovakia, in 1933. After World War II, Optikotechna was nationalized and renamed Meopta. The company is headquartered in Přerov, Czech Republic and develops and manufactures optical, opto-mechanical, and optoelectronic products. Its work spans sports optics as well as more technical optical fields, which helps explain the brand’s emphasis on mechanical precision and in-house optical know-how.

Within sporting optics, Meopta makes riflescopes, binoculars, and spotting scopes, and it resumed riflescope production in 1988. Technologies relevant to this riflescope category include MeoBright, an antireflective coating used on Meopta optics, and MeoDrop, a hydrophobic coating designed to repel water and dirt. That background gives the brand a long-standing place in European hunting optics, with a product range that balances field durability, practical optical performance and traditional scope design.
