Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25x56 and Team CS Tactical

[CSTactical]

Our guys have been killing it with their Minox scopes this season, Jacob D and Dan B. have wins this month and others throughout the year. Dan B. probably has more rounds through his ZP5 than anyone which is over 10k+ rounds and reliably tracking. Through CS Tactical's T&E and field use, we've advised some minor updates like the revision to the second rev indicator and a deeper parallax adjustment to have more adjustment at longer distances. I want to also thank our customer's for the suggestions and feedback which we also advise Minox Germany as well.

Congratulations to Daniel Bertocchini of Team CSTactical for his second place win at the Tactical Bolt Rifle Challenge held by NorCal Practical Precision Rifle Club (NCPPRC) and National Rifle League.

 

[CSTactical]

Team CSTACTICAL / MINOX did outstanding among some of the top shooters in the nation. Dan Bertocchini 2nd, Gustavo Carcacha 6th, and Jacob Denny 10th. The CSTACTICAL / MINOX Team does not just rely on their skill but their equipment, that is why they use Minox ZP5 rifle scopes. The Minox ZP5 rifle scopes offer outstanding performance and reliability.

1. I know this sounds trivial but I’m glad your crew shows open bolts in the photos. Got to set the example and they do.

2. Where do you get those two round straps you mount by the action?

We require flags in at our matches as well but they don't look as cool in pictures lol.

Those are the SAP two rounders, they work great and I run them on most of my rigs. XLR also has a nice two round holder as well, I've just never tried them with the Dasher.

Thanks to CS Tactical for getting those pictures up! It's been tough with my schedule lately.

I've been running the ZP5 for a few years now and it's they have been very good to me at every match I've attended in that time period as well. Glass is amazingly easy to find and engage targets with and the MR4 reticle is very user friendly and allows quick engagements and wind holds when needed. I'm able to see initial impact placement on target and correct to center it up when needed.

I also really like the reticle spacing between the center dot and first wind/elevation markings. This gives you a little extra room to see the target and not look so cluttered.

Any tips for dialing parallax quickly on this scope since the knob isn’t labeled with yardages?

 

[C_R_Slacker]

Any tips for dialing parallax quickly on this scope since the knob isn’t labeled with yardages?

I've only got one range day on mine so far, but the parallax seems pretty forgiving. I don't see how having the knob labeled would be any faster than just finding your target and giving it a quick twist until the image gets sharp.

 

[grandslam]

That’s the case for me

 

[4RingShooter]

Any tips for dialing parallax quickly on this scope since the knob isn’t labeled with yardages?

The only time I'm having to adjust parallax is inside of 300 and I'm usually fine down to 200 even. Basically I'm parallax free from 300 and out so I rarely touch it during a match. Out of habit I'll fine tune it on certain stages like a Kyl.

As others have mentioned it's a quick adjustment that takes a few seconds to adjust. You could mark where your 100 and 300-out is for pre set adjustments and fine tune from there. I know my scope pretty well at this point so I know exactly where those settings are for me without looking.

When I'm adjusting I usually go to max mag and rotate the parallax knob back and forth until my image and reticle are as clear as possible. I then back off the mag and proceed from there.

Jacob Denny - "Last weekend we wrapped up the NCPPRC year with our year end December shoot off. While I didn’t have as good of a weekend as I would have liked, I finished the year by winning the Top Long Range title and the overall Shooter of the year title. It was a tough battle just barely beating Brian Sanders for the Long Range and Daniel Bertocchini for the SOTY trophy. Always good times competing with these two. Big thanks to my wife Joy Suzanne Denny for always supporting me with all the matches I shoot. Thanks to all of the other amazing people and companies that support me with really great equipment."

"It's always a great time at the Rock Lake Match and Doug Glorfield never disappoints! It's also great to get to see and spend the weekend with buddies from across the country as well which is the main reason I do this.

The match was tough as usual with switchy winds and hot temps. I had some bullet issues on day one but got it figured out and finished 5th after a solid day two! The 284 performed flawlessly all weekend regardless of the one eighty ied's!

Congrats to Jake Vibbert and Mike Anderson both of which crushed it all weekend! Big thanks for Scott Satterlee for hosting Jacob Denny and I at his place and Brian Pence for a great pit stop along the way to and from the match!" - Daniel Bertocchini

Thank you, Dan topped day two but having some of your bullets explode 20 yards out day one did not help his overall score

Seriously? The shotgun pattern didn’t help? ?
