TAMPA, FL, February 27, 2019 – Meopta USA Sport Optics is pleased to introduce a straight-body model of its award-winning MeoPro HD 80 spotting scope. Originally available in angled-body only, the MeoPro HD 80 spotting scopes feature a one-piece design with a fixed 20x – 60x eyepiece. The large 80mm fluoride objective lens delivers maximum light transmission and razor-sharp resolution in low light while eliminating color fringing, making it easy for hunters to assess game at long distances.
The MeoPro HD 80 has a rugged, fully-armored magnesium alloy body, and Centric-Drive™ mid-body focus control that is easy and fast to use, even with gloves on. MeoBright™ ion-assisted multi-coatings eliminate glare and reflections while delivering exceptional color fidelity. Meopta’s MeoDrop™ hydrophobic lens coating ensures the highest level of visual clarity in the field, easily repelling rain, snow, skin oils and dirt while the MeoShield™ anti-abrasion lens coating protects external lens surfaces from scratches.
“We are excited to finally offer our customers a choice between angled and straight body in our MeoPro HD 80 spotting scope,” said Randy Garrison, Director of Meopta USA Sport Optics. “The MeoPro HD 80 is a high-performance spotter that has been a big seller for us. Hunters, optics experts, guides and outfitters quickly recognized the exceptional value of this optic when we introduced the first model, and we continue to deliver European-quality optics at great price points across all of our lines.”
