Q&A for Minox ZP5 5-25x56mm THLR scope

[Formidilosus]

Do you think an ATACR is still a safer bet on zero retention?

From and shear numbers seen and used perspective- yes because the data set is so much larger. However, I would 100% choose the ZP5 THLR over an ATACR for hunting. Even a once in a lifetime hunt.

Updated.

Checked zero after removing the suppressor to use on another rifle for a bit.

THLR has a playlist covering his use of the reticle.

That’s handy.

EuroOptic is selling these for 50% off right now, have to call to place the order though. It's looking like a 4 week backorder but I just placed my order so the wait begins to see if it lives up to the hype. Just wanted to let other people know.

Can confirm - just bought 2.

@Formidilosus , I'm going to put one of these on an AR for the training aspect of using the scope/reticle, but would like to have it in QD mounts to put the LPVO back on at times. The Bobro I have the LPVO in is solid, but heavy - thinking about putting the Minox in a 1.53" Scalarworks, to shave a little weight. Any thoughts on this? Any other suggestions for a QD mount, for the ZP5 on an AR?

Do these have thick enough tubes to use 25 in/lbs on the ring cap screws with NF rings?

The Bobro is probably the best QD on the market. If I needed QD I would use that. But, I’d just use a Geissele or NF 34mm mount and torque correctly each time.
