schmidt and bender ultra short vs minox zp5 3-15

[jarredsc]

good day

I'm in the market for a new long range/ hunting scope and considering between a schmidt and bender ultra short 3-20/ 5-20 or a minor zp5 3-15x50 anyone who has owned both how do they compare side by side. my main concerns are glass quality and eye box happy with both schmidt and minor reticles.

I have had 3-20X50 and 5-20X50 ultra shorts and currently have a standard 3-20X50 and 4-16X50 PM11’s. It’s very subjective. But I much prefer the standard Pm11’s.

However I do also have three 3-15X50 Minox’s. I can genuinely state for me they are the best trade off for size, eye box and clarity. I do miss the top end mag on occasion. The turrets are simple precise. The twilight image is excellent and as I use them for deer stalking in the uk last light is key.
