    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 3-15x 50 Mildot reticle,any one use as hunting scope?

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 3-15x 50 Mildot reticle,any one use as hunting scope?

    Yes I was in part asking about the reticle comparisons. Scope will be a hunting rifle. I can envision no use of the range finding components of the MR2. Thanks.

I pack a Winchester 71...
