Not to start a pissing contest but I have been playing with & own the new German made Minox 5Ei 2-10x50,with Illum 4A ret.When I spoke to the rep I was told the 5Ei scope are totally made in house in Germany.The scope says Germany on it & comes in a very nice wooden box,you read correct a WOODEN box.
Been sick last 2 weeks with a bad flew so the only comparison I was able to do is at home!I put it side by side to a S&B also my Hensoldt.Was it as clean no,does it have a little tunneling yes but not as much as my S&B.It is some what softer looking glass but very easy to get behind.Turrets are much better than the Z5's I own.I think Minox has hit a home run with the 5Ei.If I had to compare to a market scope I would say it falls in with the IOR for clarity.
I wish they had put a parralex turret on but I'm told the next 2 scopes with higher mag. coming in will have them.This scope has a very nice feel just like my Euro scopes & I'm glad I had a chance to get one early as I think when the word gets out about how good these scopes are there is going to be a waiting list.
