Introduction of the Meprolight® Variable Optic (MVO™) Family
During the recent Defense & Security Thailand expo, Meprolight, a subsidiary of SK Group and a prominent player in the field of electro-optics, unveiled their new line designed for the defense sector: the Meprolight® Variable Optic (MVO™) family. These professional riflescopes promise outstanding precision, clarity, and robust reliability suitable for diverse tactical and professional shooting applications.
Advanced Models for Specialized Engagements
The MVO™ lineup features three advanced optical systems, each tailored to specific operational needs:
-
MVO 1-8×28: This low-power variable optic (LPVO) is engineered for dynamic short-to-medium range engagements, facilitating rapid target acquisition in fluid operational environments.
-
MVO 3-18×44: A versatile mid-power scope (MPVO), this model is optimized for both tactical and competitive scenarios, providing flexibility and adaptability in various settings.
-
MVO 6-36×56: Designed as a high-power solution (HPVO), this riflescope excels in long-range precision shooting, enabling accurate engagements at extended distances.
All models adhere to rigorous military specifications, featuring a robust 34 mm main tube. These riflescopes are fully waterproof and fog-proof, capable of enduring submersion for up to 30 minutes at depths of one meter. Furthermore, the MVO™ family is constructed to function effectively in extreme temperature ranges from -40°C to +70°C, and is subjected to testing that simulates the recoil of high-caliber firearms, ensuring dependability under demanding conditions.
Optical Excellence and User-Centric Features
Utilizing premium SCHOTT multi-coated glass, Meprolight’s MVO™ family offers remarkable light transmittance exceeding 92%, resulting in superior image clarity and contrast, even in low-light, glare, and mirage situations. The optical systems are meticulously engineered, employing advanced simulation techniques alongside precision lens design to guarantee:
- Consistent eye relief
