There were some tracking issues with the original black box units. Minox blew them out when they had the buy a Mauser rifle get a scope 50% off deal.
The white box units seem good to go. I thought the glass was comparable to a TT 5-25. The MR4 reticle might have been one of my favorites.
I think warranty and it having to go back the German for any service was a deterrent for most. Also CS Tactical dropping the line didn’t help, after their sponsored shooters were running them.
I sold mine, and it’s one of the only scope I regret selling. We still have a couple guys in Alabama who have standardized to them and run them exclusively.
I sent mine back to Germany right when Covid kicked off. Took forever. Like a year. Dunno what it would be like now all that silliness is over. I figured out I had a rifle problem, not a scope problem, about a week after I sent it. Stupid. At my request they checked it out and did make an adjustment to the parallax or something.
I put it on my tracking jig a couple weeks ago, and it’s perfect. I love it and would gladly have a couple more. It’d been a while since I last used it, but I had it out yesterday. Really nice view.
I know euro is a dealer, they’re just over an hour from me but they don’t have any scopes in stock. I’m guessing you’re ordering what you want? Any idea of wait times when ordering?
