Markings below the reticle’s center indicate 1st line below center drop at 200 yards – Drop 3 inches the expected impact point at a given distance, with lower markings showing the expected impact point at longer distances. 2nd line drop at 300 yards – Drop 11.3 inches

The MeoPro® riﬂ escope is waterproof, fogproof and shockproof. Nevertheless, like other premium quality optical- mechanical instruments, it requires careful handling and cleaning to protect the high-performance optical surfaces.

MeoPro® scopes are supplied with two lens covers and an antistatic cleaning cloth. When the scope is not in use, it is advised to protect the optical surfaces by keeping the lens covers in place. Dust that becomes deposited on mechanical parts of the scope should be removed with a fi ne cloth. Dust that becomes deposited on optical surfaces should fi rst be removed by blowing off the heaviest deposits, and then lightly wiping the surface with the antistatic cloth that is supplied with the scope.
