On top of a big pile of ammo
Today I finally got the sight I've been waiting for since before I got the rifle.
This far I have been using a OKO red dot on the rifle, and I will probably change back and forth.

The new sight is a Meopta Artemis 3100 1-4x22 with a reticle called K-DOT.

The reticle is a dot. (Dooh :rolleyes: ) :D but with three small lines, two to give you the horisontal and one vertical. These are about 1/10 of the diameter each, so they are quite small and out of the way untill you might need them for long range shots.
The dot is also lighted! :) It is black when the power is off/out, and red when on. There are 7 brightness settings, and 8 offs, so you can preset the power to desired level, and then turn the light on very quickly. No messing around turning a knob back and forth.
The battery is a standard CR 2354, and I will store a few more in the pistol grip.
The brightness go from quite bright, to very bright.
The lowest is usable at night, and the most powerfull is visable when looking into oncoming glare from the sun reflected off of a water surface.

The tube is quite a bit longer than nessesary. :confused: About 3" sticks out in front of the lense. Sure won't need a sunshade, but I might take a hacksaw to it at a later stage. :uhoh:
The rings I used are Weaver steel rings.

Changing magnification is quick and easy due to a rubber ring with a protruding rubber stud. Full twist to get from 1 to 4 power is 180 degrees.

I can't wait to take this new setup to the range and finaly be able to see what accuracy I can get out of the rifle.

Aw shut it you damn foreigners with all your damn cool guns.

:p

Nice gun, BTW. I think I'm actually turning green...gotta go...

:)
 
Hey Kobun,

I was just in Norway less than a month ago, didn't see one gun store. Where do you buy all your stuff? Mail order???
 
Awe, you just keeping sticking stuff on that Sig so you can post more pics of IT! :cuss:

I can't even LOOK at my AR for days after you post yours! :D

Oh yeah, back to the scope. How much? Where? It's nice! I'm definitely envious!
 
Thats a cool Scope, the gun ant bad either ;) . Dose anybody know of a Meopta dealer in the US?
 
Overall length is 73cm(29")/50cm(20").

50 Freak, There isn't that many gunstores around. Don't know where you went, but you should have asked first. :) Maby we could have met for a beer. :)
A lot of the gun sales is actually made through mail order, as people live wery spread out.

Don't remember the exact prise on the scope, but it is about 1/2 the prise of a Zeiss with 1-4x and lighted reticle! :D
And those are the scopes that have been winning most IPSC rifle matches here.

Meopta has links to dealers on their web page.
Don't know if this scope has come to the US yet, as it is a brand new product. There was just 10 scopes that came to Norway. :(
 
I just picked up a killer deal on a Meopta Artemis 3000 3x9x40 30mm tube yesterday----the dealer has had them for a while---but I don't think anybody knows anything about them.

The were originally priced at $450----then to $350----I bought mine for $299.

Seemingly Zeiss quality at Leupold VX-II price----and I'm not talking Conquest either.

These Meopta's are VERY NICE.
 
Nice, I always liked the doughnut of death that Steiner used in one of their low power variables a few years ago. Let us know how it holds up, I have long been a fan of low power variables.
 
Something like that would be great for my Ruger #1S in .45-70

I'd have to sell the Leupold 1-5x already on it, but hey... :D

So, Rugerfreak, Meopta is importing into the U.S. now?
 
The dealer here has had them in the better part of a year now----but nobody was buying them----well till they discounted them----I think its more a case of nobody knowing the Meopta name more than anything.

They also have a Schmit and Bender that nobody has taken yet---that is also at a great price------but out of my league.
