Ok, I never heard of Minox before until a day in the local hunting store. A pair of Minox 8x42 binos was at a table and I saw they were cheap so i tried to look through them. I was impressed - very clear and sharp picture and smooth focusing. They were both better and cheaper than my Vortex Diamondback 10x50.
So now im thinking about going for a Minox scope + binos, to have until I one day can afford a S&B scope + A leica bino. The scope I want is a perfect all-around 2-10x50 ZA5. What do you think of that setup, until I can afford the high-end stuff? And btw - Do you know how expenisve til Minox ZE 5i will be? Thx. |

Minox makes some rather decent stuff. The scope glass is Schott produced and, rest assured, the Germans can design optics! The ZE5 i prices are on the SWFA website... they seem to be in the $1500 range and up. Good "Beta" scopes... IMO.

Minox has been in the optics business a long time they were famous for their little cold war era spy camera.

I have that exact scope on a Tikka .308 and a 2-10 x 40 on a Tikka .308 WM. I really think they offer a lot of optic for your hard earned dollar
