I have a ZA 5 3-15 X 42 with BDC reticle. I like it so far but I haven't had it very long.

Have Minox bino's and LOVE them. Been looking at their scopes too. So here is a bump for more info.

I just ordered ZA5 2-10X40 XR-BDC. I did some shoting with my brothers rifle that is scoped with it recently and liked it.

Any other info? Was looking into Minox riflescopes as well. Have always used Leupold 3-9 x 40 but that Minox ZA-5 3-15 x 42 has caught my eye....A little more magnification would be a little better for me. Plus the price isn't all too bad from Cameraland.

Would like to know how good/reliable they are, tracking, how good they hold zero (bumps, recoil)???

I to have just picked up a 2X10 X 40 w/ BDC from camera land. To date I have only shot at the range to sight in. The BDC Redial is not "too busy" and I think it will help me on longer shots.
Previously, my .280 Rem was equiped with a 2 X 7 X 36mm Kahales. The glass and brightness on the Kahales is a hard act to follow. The Minox is going to be just fine as I needed the extra power and BDC for some long range work. For the money, I feel this ($299) unit is a great value. Depending on how high end your former glass was you should not be disapointed.

Now I need to find a quality weapon to mount the 2X7 on. Maybe my Marlin .308 express?

Good Luck Griz
