Minox scopes

[MThuntr]

Anyone have experience with Minox riflescopes? I see some guys like them but nobody I know has given them a shot. Looks like a person can get open box/demo 3-9 scopes for about $125...might be worth putting on a loaner/truck gun.

Randy11 has one. I bet he will fill you in.

Yeah, I got this version as a hand me down from a fellow HuntTalker- http://www.amazon.com/Minox-66410-Rifle-Minox-Plex-Reticule/dp/B00I2OM298

It's a really nice scope, especially at that price. I recently bought a 2.5-8x36 vx3 and compared the two. I had a hard time seeing any clarity advantage for the Leupold. The Minox isn't quite as streamlined and aesthetically pleasing as a leupold, but it is very functional. I do like the rubber grip for the power adjustment.

This is the only one I've had so I can't speak to their entire line, but if they're consistent with this scope I'd think they'd be a much better buy in that price range than something like a Vortex, Nikon or Bushnell.

It would be nice to have the CDS but not necessary. $340 on the Minox 2-10 HD is as cheap as I've seen...might have to look into some more.

Nice Ruger, Randy. Mine kills Pronghorn quite nicely as well. She's a beaut.

As far as Minox goes, I've got an older one on my 17 HMR. No complaints at all.

Good mid range priced German optics.. Used to be owned by Leica but is not independent. Great bargin in optics.
