Shot the rifle with the Minox ZV-3 3-9X40 scope today.

The view through the scope is excellent to my eyes. The reticle is bold and the view through the scope is very crisp. I like it a lot.

With the rifle in the sunlight I tried getting it to show the veiling flare I mentioned earlier. I could not find a problem in daylight at all. (I guess the fluorescent lights in my basement room are not a good test of veiling flare. --I don't expect to be hunting under florescent lights! laugh )

The scope seems to handle the recoil of the 7MM Remington Magnum and there were no close encounters with the eye-piece.

Above about 6X the eye-box seems much more constrained and going to 9X from 6X did not help me see bullet holes any better at 100 yards. I will use the scope at 6X or less and be more than satisfied.

I have a second one but have not mounted it yet so don't know if it acts the same above 6X as the first.
