The Artemis 3000 3-9 × 42 spotting scope is just one of the many products that the House of the Czech Republic produces. The latter, inffati, is active not only in the field of military and hunting optics, but also in the medical field.
Meopta is an industry in the Czech Republic based in Prerov (near Prague) and in the United States of America based in Long Island in the State of New York.
Founded in 1933 under the name of Optikotechna by Dr. Alois Mazurek and Eng. Alois Beneš, this industry was involved in the production of lenses for cameras and magnifying glasses.
After the Second World War, Optikotechna was renamed Meopta.
Meopta during the German occupation in World War II was considered one of the best manufacturers of war optics. For this reason, Nazi Germany, when it occupied the Czechoslovak Republic, took control of the management and production of the then Optikotechna, in order to create optics for military use.
Today Meopta produces systems for military use, optics for sporting and hunting use, digital cinema projectors and precision optical instruments for medical use.
After this necessary premise to present a reality like the Meopta, let's analyze the Artemis 3000 3-9 × 42 telescope.
The collaboration between the two Meopta offices leads us to affirm that this perspective can be considered as the best of both worlds. In fact, it is regarded as the best 30mm riflescope on the world market today.
The tube is in aluminum alloy with eyepiece for fast focusing; purified nitrogen is used to create waterproofing, anti-fog and to ensure shockproof performance. The traditional North American hunting scope of the Artemis 3000 3-9 × 42 was quickly adopted by hunters around the world for its versatility and superb performance, even in extreme conditions.
Let's see the features.
The lens coating has been made as anti-reflective as possible to ensure 87% - 90% light transmission. The Artemis 3000 3-9 × 42 remains accurate during air movement and the quadratic has a pitch of 0,7cm / 100m. The adjustment ring is ergonomic, while the internal mechanics ensure the pinnacle of durability.
320 mm long, this optic has these values: a field of view of 13.2 / 4.8, MOA 52 for height and windage, diopter correction +/- 3, a weight of 530 grams and an eye relief (i.e. the distance from the surface of an eyepiece to which the eye can be positioned to match the eye exit pupil to the eye entry pupil) of 75 mm.
The front or rear reticle in the focal plane is Z-shaped, while the magnification is 3 - 9x.
In conclusion, it can be said that the Artemis 3000 3-9 × 42 is a telescope that benefits from the tradition and modern technology that Meopta is able to use, thanks also to the collaboration between the two offices, which continuously , exchange information on new production techniques for their products.
In conclusion, Meopta is a company which, operating in several fields from the medical to the military one, is able to create products and, in our case, hunting optics of excellent quality and high performance.
