Steve,
Having never spent over $50 on binos, I was hesitant to spend the extra bucks on something I knew little about.
Reading your review of these Minox binos last year gave me the confidence that they were a "safe" bet.
Thanks for taking the time to educate those of us lacking the ability (funds) to experiment.
GB GB, You're absolutely welcome, my friend. I'm honored that you trusted me enough to invest the money in the Minox 6.5s. Now that you have them, I'll bet that you love the little Minox' as much as I do. Steve

How do these compare to the HG series?
I bought a set of Leupold Wind River Mesas about a month ago due to a wife-imposed budget and I am not really satisfied with them. Cabela's will take them back and refund my $. So, If I can't convince my wife that I "need" the HGs then how would something along the lines of these IFs compare?
Thanks,
Dan

How much do they weigh? Please provide a link to the Minox specs.

How would this be for an 11 year old girl? I seem to remember reading somewhere that Leupold had a pair of Binos that was particularly good for kids. I am interested in getting something for my daughter to take on our trip to yellowstone and glacier next summer.

These are perfect for children. They are a good size for their hands, and the IF is the only way to go with kids binos.

OK, you guys are all responsible for me ordering a pair of the Minox's. I have wanted a low power, quality IR pair for years and had given up. Didn't know they were out until this thread. I hope they are what I expect!TKS---I think! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Got my magnums in 3 days! Thanks to all. Spent the day in woods and fields and these are the binocs I'd been wanting. These are truly HUNTING binocs and should be more highly promoted as such in my opinion! Offer a camo rubber coating and call them the Minox Hunter Pro. Would have gladly paid more but happy with the great price. My other binocs (some good ones) will now be relegated to travel and leisure.HO HO HO for DOUG

Doug:
Please accept this belated THANK YOU. Between Vacation and a serious illness in the family; I have been away from home for over two weeks.
Doug is a man true to his word. I called him around 8am one day between Christmas & New Years and ordered a pair of the Minox 6.5 x 32's. He said they'd be shipped that same day; and by god, less than 36 hours later they were at my door. Now that's SERVICE! I've never had anything in 18 years be delivered to me in the country that fast.
Before I had to leave home, I grabbed them along with my 8x43 DCF SP's. While travelling, I took some time to compare them side-by-side and found their resolving power to be almost equal. If someone had handed them to me and asked which one they were, I would have to have guessed.
Again, THANX DOUG for the great service and product.

I wonder if Doug would extend that price until the end of THIS month, say; if one was going to also buy a set of more expensive binos from him?

I mainly wanted to see if you were there, and to say hi. I'm almost ready to order the Geovids we talked about. Thanks, and have a good day! I probably will get the Minox"s too, now. Your prices and reputation better anyone else's.
