gr8fuldoug Report post Posted June 9, 2014 The new Minox Tactical Riflescopes have arrived. In the past year of so Minox has hired many very experianced folks from some of the major tactical optics sources and are now starting to ship the results of these investments. I think you will be VERY pleased with what they are producing. Here is detail on what has arrived: Minox ZA 5 HD 1.2-6x24 TAC (Illuminated Mino-Tac Reticle) #66405 With large field of view for quick aiming. Incredibly light and uniquely compact for dynamic lowland or mountain hunting. Designed and engineered in Germany, and in close cooperation with experts in the fields of military and law enforcement, the ZA 5 HD TAC line offers new and improved options for all serious shooters. The fully illuminated tactical reticle system greatly contributes to higher accuracy in low-light situations - with varying intensity settings and an off step between each setting. Features:High performance German HD optics30 mm aluminum tubeFully illuminated tactical reticle systemVarying illumination intensity settingsOff step between each intensity settingAnodized scope body5x zoom rangeLong, safe eye reliefLarge field of viewReticle at the 2nd focal planeParallax adjustment (SF models)WaterproofFilled with Argon gasInnovative new optical design The vignetting has been greatly reduced to create an exceptionally bright and sharp image all the way to the outer edges of the field of view. With the increased size of the exit pupil, the eye remains completely relaxed and can observe images without any further distractions – the eye is no longer preoccupied by attempts to adjust to the field of view before even getting on target - The Innovative new optical design gets the shooter quickly and precisely on target.
