Looking for a good light gathering scope for my 22-250 and I came across this one.

Thank goodness there's google translate...lol
I did a lot of searching and the only reviews I could find were from europe and they said the ZX is the replacement for the ZA line. Supposedly Minox fixed all the downfalls of the ZA's with improvements in the ZX's. The Zx's are assembled in Germany but I cold not find where all the components were made?

I have a za5 3-15x42 with a German reticle and it's got some really nice glass . Optically better than a Nikon monarch ucc. It's not quite as nice as my Zeiss conquest duralyt and I don't like it with the zoom at 15.
I have 2 scopes that go up to 15 or 16, the minox and a Nikon monarch. I never turn up past about 10 or 12. Just hate I can't see much. Nikon is monarch 3 4-16x50mm and it's got BDC reticle which I would not get again. It has good glass and is also bright in low light. My Zeiss is 2-8x42 and 30mm tube. Think that is where I need to go with all hunting scopes. Just seems like the fov is superior. Maybe in my head lol. |
