I thought the minox scope had a much more unfriendly eye box. The elite is a very easy to get behind scope, with the exception of my nightforce its the easiest scope I know of. I would not choose the minox over the elite. if you are looking for an upgrade check out the meopta meopro or the cabelas instinct same scope. bushnell seems to be loosing market share in my area, I haven't actually seen an "elite" in any of the stores around me since they got rid of the 3200 and 4200 cabelas, scheels, and sportsmans wharehouse. I think they made a mistake by getting away from the 3200 and 4200 nomenclature. all I see locally for sale now days is the lower end bushnell stuff. vortex has displaced the product they used to sell. too bad because I don't like vortex as good.
