New Scope came today
« on: September 09, 2011, 09:48:23 PM »
Minox Z5 3-15x50 w/Side Focus
http://www.cameralandny.com/optics/minox.pl?page=66520

This is the gun it will go on Kimber 84m 338 Federal.
It will replace the Nikon 3-9 Buckmaster.
Thank you Addicted (my son in-law) for all your help in getting this scope.
1st impressions are that it is a really solid scope nicely built, everything is really crisp looking through it, even with my tired eyes. Will add more later.

Sweet.

Happy birthday.

It looks like it will fit perfectly close in those rings.

Haven't seen the kimber or a fresh picture of it in a few years.

I think it will be very nice hunting, half the weight of the Weatherby 300.

I need to get taller rings the front touches the barrel.

I have a couple sets of Minox binoculars and they have excellent glass.... I haven't had a chance to look through one of those scopes, but I can't imagine it being less than fantastic. Keep us posted.

Very nice! I've never heard any feedback on Minox warranty service. You should really do all of us a favor and take that sucker out and WACK it real good on a rock, send it in and give us a full report on the service.  :chuckle:

Enjoy the scope, I've never heard anything but positive feedback about Minox products.  I know my buddy loves the binos I had to buy him when I lost a bet. :bash:

The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Minox performed as good as I had hoped, tagged out at 8:30 opening day 1st time ever. Deer was out at 250 yards. Here are a few pictures just got home.

Thank you again to Josh and Ang I love you both.
