Killflash for Minox

[1NDY]

Gentlemen,

I have the Minox ZP5 5-25x56 and want to put a killflash on it. I attempted to contact Minox Europe and their response had nothing to do with what I was asking (language barrier I believe) and have also contacted Tenebraex with no respons....SO.... Has anyone with this scope found a killflash that will fit correctly on it? Has anyone tried the Tenebraex generic 56mm killflash device on theirs. Any input is much appreciated.

Thanks for that, one I hadn't discovered. Unfortunately backorder, bit a good start.

All his stuff says backordered.it's made to order. I've never bought his ard, but he makes the best flip up caps. Much better than tenebraex.

I recently ordered the Tenebraex ARD. I'll let you know how it fits sometime over the weekend.

I would really appreciate that. Do you have the model # for the one you bought by any chance?

Thanks, that's the one I had narrowed it down to as well. Very interested to see how it fits.

 

[dino67]

It fits.

Great News, Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know!

Yep. don't panic about Jon's stuff saying backordered ... all of mine have been made in a week or so and then arrived quickly.

Good to know, thanks for that.

Good to know, thanks for that.

The other thing that's worth knowing is that - for their scope covers at least, not sure about killflash units - the Tenebraex is smooth but pliable, while Aadmount stuff is harder and (I think), 3D printed. For scope caps, Tenebraex feel like cheap Tupperware to me, but I haven't seen too many accounts of them failing. Jon's stuff feels more robust, and the stippled finish of the printing makes it a bit easier to grip them. But as they're less pliable, they feel like they could be more brittle ... again, I haven't seen that in practice. But they are loud, and I have one occular cap that quit engaging after only a few weeks. I have no doubt Jon will take care of it, though.

All that to say, I honestly don't know which of the two I like better ... they each have their followers, but I see pros and cons with both.
