The 2018 edition of the IWA OutdoorClassics expo in Nuremberg, Germany, was a great occasion to celebrate for MEOPTA – the well-known optics manufacturer headquartered in Přerov, Czech Republic, that is celebrating its 85 years of activity in the field of sporting, hunting and tactical optics this year.

And indeed Meopta has a lot going on to celebrate, starting with a limited 1000-pieces edition of the MeoStar R2 2-12x50 RD-4C riflescope, as well as a special lottery for MEOPTA customers who will be able to register their 30-years warranty on the websitewww.WinMeoRange.com before 28/2/2019 and get a chance to win a MEOPTA binocular – MeoRange 10x42 HD, MeoStar B1 10×42 HD or MeoPro 10×42 HD – or one of one thousand Victorinox Swiss Army knives offered as a prize.

But that's not all. Because the 2018 IWA expo saw MEOPTA introduce a whole new line of optical sights dedicated to hunters, sport shooters, law enforcement officers, military operators, and tactical shooting enthusiasts: something new and hot for everybody out there!

The MEOPTA MeoNight 1.1 night vision device can be used as a night vision monocular for stand-alone viewing or used with any riflescope to adapt it for nighttime use. The MeoNight 1.1 features premium quality optics, 1x magnification and is also available with an optional 3x magnifying module booster.

The MeoNight is capable of target detection out to 600 meters and automatically shuts off if unused. This night vision device also features an external brightness control for easy adjustment of image intensity.

When used with a traditional daytime riflescope, the clip-on attachment is placed in front of the riflescope by special adapter using a quick release NAR (MIL-STD 1913) mount or directly onto the objective of the riflescope by special adapter. The MeoNight comes with a remote-control cable that can be attached to the stock of the rifle allowing the user to adjust image brightness without moving the finger from the trigger.
