    Minox ZX5i 1-5x24 opinions?

    Anyone with one of these, particularly low light performance and repeatability of the dials?

    Cheers

    @FRST I had one of them, minus the i. Very, very good in low light on 1 power. The reticle was too thin though but the i would negate that problem. On 5 power the middle of crosshairs is thin enough to shoot small groups ie it only covers about 1.5cm @100m
    Constant eye relief of 4" is a huge plus in my books too. Dialed perfectly. Little bit of fish eye on low power (to be expected)
    On glass, resolution isnt as high as a 40mm scope (agian, to be expected) I would give it the nudge over the quality of a VX3i (I owned a similar VX3i at the same time)

    Call Giles @ Taihape sports and he will do you a fine price on one
