Hello!

I consider buying a Minox 1,2 - 6 x 24.

It´s only 354 Gramm, illuminated!!

What are your experiences with Minox scopes?

As this will be a driven hunt scope, I am mostly interested in mechanical reliability.

Regrettably they have discontinued the 1,5 - 8 x 32. But it had no illuminated reticle, anyway.

TIA, Hermann

The name lettering on the Minox I had was so large as to spoil the look of the scope on my rifle.

I returned it.

Show the part # of the specific scope or a picture.

e.g.:

12,5 oz illuminated.

I don´t know how much the lettering will weight ...

;-)

They are on special at Camera Land, see link below:

The scope you mention is a the bottom of the page.

GOOD Price on the 1,2 - 6 x!

Good scope for the money but I did not like the slight fisheye to the glass, the reticle is too thin and vanished on me and the eye relief was too short.

Leopold or Leica work best for me.

I didn´t like the ( for me ) "big" dot in the center.

I like my reticles clean and uncluttered and with a fine crosshair in the middle.

With finely tuneable illuminated dot, of course.

I have 2 Minox Scopes now.A 2-10X42 and a 3-15X42.They are the new HD models and are a big step up from their previous scopes.I also own a Minox Spotter the angled 21-43 X 62MM one.very nice spotter.

I recently got the 1.2x6x24 and put it on a 416. It seems too be a good scope for the money.
