But then for less money this is a heck of a deal.

I got one a couple of weeks ago. Great glass and fantastic eye relief. It will be on my hunting rifle this fall.

I got some of those minox za 5 2x10 4 $249. Here on the campfire from Doug at optic land. WOW! So far so good! I see he has got me on sale again. I got some leupold fx 3 to compare. The minox seems crisper. And 100 dollars less money.

That is why I use binoculars.

Yep. I shot mine a couple days ago out to 550 yards (that is how long my range is). I was not splitting hairs, as I was mainly checking the tracking. I had no problem holding on the middle of an 8 1/2x11 sheet of paper (minute of deer chest). The 150 Interlocks shot great and the tracking was great also.

I have a Remington Model 722 in .308. My shots are almost always within 100 yards. I topped it with a Leupold VX-2 2-7 X 33 that I had shipped back to the factory for a heavy duplex reticle. Works great and looks good, especially with the barrel chopped to 21 inches.

My only .308 is a Ruger 1B. When I bought it it had a Nikon 3.3 -10 which I didn't care for at all. I put a 11/2-5 VariXII on it and life is good.
