I have no experience with Minox scope, but I've owned 6 4200's and in my opinion they are one of the very best bangs for the buck. They track great, hold zero and their glass is fantastic. I agree with cummins that when they dropped the 3200/4200 model names it became confusing. Just think of it this way. If the scope has a 4X zoom (meaning 2.5-10, 4-16, 6-24 etc) it's a 4200), 3-9, 4-12, 5-15 etc are the old 3200 line. There were 2 3-9 models with a SF feature, but they were dropped from the Elite line and are now Legend HD's.
