[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1266542, member: 7898"] I have a couple of the Minox ZX 5 HD's in 3-15x42. I find those to be quite clear and sharp. Tracking is pretty good for the $$$, not a Swarovski or NF but then again, they don't cost that much either. I also have the 2-10x50 and like it quite well. Not too heavy but they all have been durable so far. None are on heavy recoiling rifles though. Minox has come out with a replacement for the ZX5 line of sorts - the ZX5i series. It offers illuminated reticles and might be worth a look. I have just received a Whiskey 5 3-15x42. I opted for it over the x56 version as I didn't want one mounted as high as I'd have to mount. I will be putting it on a Tikka T3 308 and hope to get out and play with it a bit this weekend. So far, I'd put it's optics right up there with a Zeiss Conquest HD 3-15x44 that I have on my 264 WM. I'll wring it out as soon as I can and report back. I looked through the Nikon Prostaffs and to MY eyes, the 7 was the clearer of the two. This was just comparing them in a store though, so I didn't get to run them through any tests/shots. [/QUOTE]
