Like the clarity and reticle. Thinking I should buy 10 of them and stick them away!

Doug: Guys...Ive GOT to bump this back up to the top. I just mounted this scope on a Tikka Superlight in .223 and I am SO FREAKING IMPRESSED by it that I had to give Doug another shout out on this deal!
Cant believe it is as good as it is for the price point ( even the original price point) I'll try some night shooting with it, which will be the acid test , to see if it'll work on pigs with the green kill light..but Im betting it will pass with flying colors..
And BTW the hash marks , at least for my load, are spot on out to 400yards.....
Couldn't ask for more!

Yea, I bought 5 of them, only had issues with one of the early ones with a loose ocular. Minox took care of it with no issues, still held zero,before I sent it in.
We will see how they hold up on my sons .308 AR 10.

I ordered two, one each for a 223 and a 22-250.

Hi Doug
I already have one of these from last time they were on sale. It works well on my 223. I was wondering what is parallax setting and do you think it would work on a muzzle loader if so I will buy another one. Do these exhibit any tunneling at low power?

Would someone who has one please give the outside diameter of the ocular housing and the available tube length for scope rings?
These are important considerations when mounting on long actions (e.g. Mauser LR). The Minox website does not give that information.

Thanks for all the orders for these, for the ZV3-9x50's and the 4.5-14's. You guys rock. Glad to be able to offer these scopes to you all at these reduced prices

I just ordered one.
You guys talked me into it. I don't know what I am going to put it on. Loonyism.

I was just shooting mine again yesterday..Still impressed by the scope!
Plus I peered through it yesterday before sunrise to see how it would be in the dark for pigs. Looked great!

The turrets are they finger adjust or coin slot adjust?
The Minox BDC reticle is set up for a 10 mph wind at each intersection end?
