Minox scopes

I have the 5-20x50 ZA5. Was a demo but no issues yet; heard some of the first ones had problems but they've cleaned them up and Minox now has a lifetime warranty. Assembled-in-U.S. and Schott glass are positives. Long eye relief may give kind of a "distant" f.o.v. for some, but doesn't bother me; the BRX reticle is kind of fine, though. Most compact and light 50mm scope I've seen yet. Not ashamed to run one in low-end Rifleman rings on my Cooper Varminter while that rifle's Leupold VX3 is out for service; might just leave it that way as I see no difference in accuracy, and the Minox seems to have a little better light-gathering ability.
 
I have a 4x20. It's a nice scope,I had issues at first and they replaced it. Excelent service and very easy to deal with. I will probally buy another.I have this on my calling rifle a mod 7 in 204,but I would like a little more field of view on low power.Love the 20x for crow sniping!
 
I am running a 2-10X40 and the glass is great. The adjustments are mushy but it holds zero well. The field of view is large and it has very long eye relief which can make mounting it difficult. The scope is also light for the magnification range. As a hunting scope it is great (not sure I would want to dial a lot of adjustments on it). Did I mention the glass is great?
 
I had a Z3 3-9x40 with the BDC reticle in it. It was wonderful optically..... but left a little to be desired in the consistency department. The adjustments were a bit squishy and didn't seem too accurate. The scope held zero well, but the turrets were useless for LR work, even though they're resettable and calitrated.
