Yes, I got a couple of the 2-7's a few weeks ago and just ordered 3-9 and a 4-12. I am mightily impressed with the quality and at those prices they are a bargain.
Sportsman Gun Centre are doing a variety of Minox ZL3 scopes at £133 plus delivery. RRP apparently is £400.
I ordered a ZL3 2-7x35 for my new Zbroia Hortitsia and am impressed.
I've now ordered a 4-12x40 for the new .243

On my garden range which is 20 yards or thereabouts I can get a clear focus, (for my eyes at any rate!) at about 4 mag. If I back myself up into the kitchen and shoot from there at 25 yards or so, clarity is the same but at about 5 mag. I always sight concentric down the tube if you know what I mean so point of aim does not shift.
That said; though I have no intention to do it they do seem like they could be re focused if needed.
Thanks for the heads up, just ordered the 3-9*40 to go on my new FWB Sport 😁

To look at, they look a hell of a lot like the Nikko Panamax and Hawk Vantage Max scopes, I wonder if they are made in the same factory?

I can understand that, I wonder if there is a new generic scope body design that certain manufacturers purchase and then fit with their own lenses and innards, I've been noticing a lot of different brands are starting to look the same, apart from cosmetic things like zoom rings etc that differ from maker to maker, I may be wrong and I most probably am, unless makers are now copying each others designs but I can see similarities between them all but others may not.

I couldn't find many reviews, but at £133 the 3.5-10x50 looked reasonable, so I ordered one for my HMR - I've been looking for something with better low-light performance than the current ancient Nikko, hopefully this will be an improvement and also properly waterproof.
Has anyone tried to reparallax one yet and with any success? The 3-9x40 with the BDC could make a good little HFT scope if it could be reparallaxed.
