Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Minox scopes

Anyone try one? I am particularly intrigued by the one that goes from 1.5 - about 8x, would like to know quality level of the whole line?

I have a 3x9x40 that I am very pleased with...crystal clear.

Yep, same with me. I did have some fitment issues, but that may (is) related to me being a 6'6" tall genetic freak of a stock crawler.

I'm not as tall as you are, I do have long arms. When standing in ranks I could scratch my ankle with out bending my knees.
I needed a longer stock.

I have a 1.5-6 waiting for my .300H&H to arrive!

Will let you know once I get the rifle back from the GS and get it scoped up.

Like what I have seen so far.

have had my z5 3x15x42 about a year and a half, like it alot for the cost, holds zero very well never had had a problem,makes my25-06 shoot very well with it, would buy another demo from doug/cameraland, have conquests on other rifles
the z5 is not as bright as the conquest but close!

Laughin' at that.

I have mine mounted on a R700 in '06 with a Mickey stock that has a roughly 14" LOP (I'm starting to think I shoulda gone longer). I started out in Talleys, but I needed to go further forward, but the shape of the scope wouldn't allow it.



I ended up going with a rail,as I had never used one, and a couple of guys on another board suggested them.



It's still pretty close, but I can now shoulder the gun comfortably without trying to pull my head back to see through the scope.

In hindsight, I think I would just try different two piece mounts... Leupy DD or S&K. Typical new Remington QC, the way the mount holes are drilled, there is a little binding when the rail is torqued down. I don't know if that is the cause, but it throws bullets of different weight, and even manufacturer, into wildly different spots, usually with horizontal displacement. More study is obviously required. (Dang, I have to tinker with my gun some more, and then shoot it more. I hate it when that happens.)

I have minox Binocs and they are pretty darn nice. A bit long on eye relief for me as if i bridge on my eye sockets I'm getting too close.

As for the 1.6-8x scope do a search on randy wakeman minox low light. He had a pretty favorable review on this scope particularly with the German #4. Doug has show samples plus there is a $50 rebate going on now.
