I've only had one and I wasn't impressed so it went down the road. It was the 3-15 version with no parallax adjustment. I might have just gotten a bad scope because they seem to get good reviews around here.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

You make a better deal choosing a Zeiss Conguest/Terra or Meopta Meopro.

That is all I need to know. Found a "deal" but think I will pass on it.

Have a ZA5 and consider it a good optic. I also have a ZA3 on the son's rifle. No issues at all so far.
They are a smoking deal sometimes for quite a bit less than a Conquest.

Been putting off a purchase till they arrived� I have a ZA3 that I have been very happy with. Good glass, etched reticle and an advertised total coverage warranty (I have-not had to use it yet). Hard to beat for the price I paid� Here is an old ZA3 review I thought was interesting. �and no I'm not a paid sponsor

I have had good experience with Minox scopes and binos. I own Zeiss and Leupold as well and IMO the Minox represent a better bang for the buck comparing apples to apples. I however have no experience with their CS so cannot speak to whether it is as good as Leupold.

I have a couple of the ZA5's. One on a 25-06 and one on a 300 Win Mag. I also have some Leica's and a Swarovski PH series as well as a Conquest. For the money I spent (w/ Doug btw) they are great scopes. Clear and sharp and hold their aim well. If you have a good price it might not be a bad idea to snag one. Unless Doug is going to have some special deals on what he has left??????

I got the 3-15 and a 4-20. The parallax adjustment on the 4-20 does make a big difference to my eyes.
