A couple questions about this scope.

What are your experiences with Minox USA's service and warranty?

Factory parallax is set at 25 yards.  In the sport I shoot in (airgun field target) it's fairly common to loosen the front objective ring so that scopes can be re-focused to a minimum distance of 8-10 yards.  We do this because some of the shots are quite close and we also leverage high mag and the parallax knob to range-find with the different distances going in and out of focus as we turn the sidewheel.  

The diagrams look like this scope could be modified in the same way - anybody have one they can look at to see?  There are many proven scopes out there for this sport - Sightron 10-50x60, Nikko diamond 10-50x60, Leupold Competition 35x (often needs this same procedure done), Bushnell 6-24x40 and 8-32x40.

The Minox looked nice because for a sidewheel zoom scope it's very light and fairly compact and the optics specs look good.  Thanks!
