    Rifle Scopes Why isnt minox more popular?

    I agree and also they are also biased about other brands other than what they own, as well as looking for a reason not to like or nitpicking other brands they do not have.

    Rifle Scopes Mark 5HD vs. Nightforce ATACR 7-35

    I second this a lot of shooters are willing to pay extra for the reliability and brand name but hey, just because I woulnt pay 3K for a NF doesnt mean they arent worth that much because obviously a lot of people like them and are willing to pay that price.

    Rifle Scopes Long Term Minox ZP5 Review

    Steller review! I couldnt be happier with my ZP5. I love everything about it. Im confident in saying that when this scope falls into more shooters hands that people will fall in love with it as I have.

    Rifle Scopes Why isnt minox more popular?

    I think optics sales in general arent what they used to be, especially for high end optics. With that said, I can certainly see TT prices dropping.

    Rifle Scopes Why isnt minox more popular?

    I agree with this. The Minox is quite a bit better optically than the ATACR 5-25 and still edges the 7-35 ATACR but not by a lot.

    Rifle Scopes Why isnt minox more popular?

    Most likely. Its funny how most are willing to pay extra for something that is comparable just for the brand recognition/popularity. Yes, they have a longer and proven track record but if people take some time to do some research or better yet (pick up a ZP5) and compare, the scopes speak for...

    I talked to the rep at Blazer and he said they will be going back to regular price after the promotion has ended.

    Rifle Scopes Mirage comparison 10x vs 20x with pics

    I would think that only the best glass would cut through mirage like that, like Schott glass. TT, ZCO, Minox and probably a few others. But Im no scope expert however, Ive heard of such scopes cutting through bad mirage.

    Rifle Scopes Mark 5 HD 7-35 tracking and durability

    I was happy with my Mark 5. The turrets were surprisingly audible and tactile. Great glass, tracked true. My only gripe was the FOV was kinda poor imo. Loved everything else.

    Rifle Scopes Need help picking a scope, please. ATACR 7-35 VS ZCO 5-27

    Im sure you will be very happy. Only an extreme scope geek would be able to nitpick the differences into different categories. The ZCO is a better scope on paper but the differences arent night and day and at the price point the difference may be worth it to some but not others. Also, some...

    Minox has my vote and it's not particularly close.

    Rifle Scopes Need help picking a scope, please. ATACR 7-35 VS ZCO 5-27

    Im getting one myself and I know I wont be sorry. Most on this forum are pretty brand biased and if its not the brand they own they are quick to point out things, rather than speaking from experience or having handled one much or pointing out true facts. There are some really good reads about...

    Rifle Scopes Need help picking a scope, please. ATACR 7-35 VS ZCO 5-27

    Based on what Ive heard and read, ZCO has my vote. Although I've never put my hands on one.

    Rifle Scopes What constitues a tier one scope vs tier two and etc?

    Sounds like an old model to me. I can see how somebody would be drawn away from a particular brand that had that issue. I hear the old turrets some appeared to have issues.
