I am currently building a AR-15 accuracy build and was trying to decide on a scope.  I came across the Meopta Optika6 line of scope and have become interested because of the the prices and the fact that they are available in first focal plane.  I am currently trying to decide between the 3-18x50 and 4.5-27x50 models.  Does anyone have any experience with either one of these models?  Which would serve my need better if i plan on accuracy shooting out to 500 to 600 occasionally and 100 to 300 yards a majority of the time.  I may occasionally go hunting every now and then, but shots will be under 200 yards.  Thanks for your time in this matter.

IF you plan on using it for hunting, I would pick the 3-18x.  18x is more than you will ever need on a .223 rifle on the high end, and being able to dial down to 3x can be a good thing for close moving shots IMO.  As far as the Meopta goes, they make good stuff with excellent optics. 
Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

Big scope on an AR for hunting.... punching paper not so much.

Agree with what Supertool73 said.
