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

[ekupp]

Per Blaser US they are having an internal meeting this week to discuss how to better handle Minox support and expedite the service.

I was able to finally reach someone at Blaser US by dialing different extensions. German Minox support via email is ok just has a time zone and translation gap but generally very responsive and helpful. Germany set expectations on cost and long delivery time (14-15 weeks) due to EU import/export regulations for "tactical" scopes.

I like Europtic. They have been good to buy from. One rifle order got a little messed up but no biggie.

When I buy a new machine, truck, or even a consumer product such as a chainsaw, tool, weed whacker, cordless drill...and it F's up, I send it to the dealer and they handle it. If they have a new one sitting there, I get it. If it has to go through a warranty repair, they take care of it. I don't have to send it back to who ever built it. This whole thing of buying it in one place and sending it to the manufacturer is baffling to me. I had to do it with a Leica product and it was stupid. The dealer did step in but I sure didn't send it there to start with. I guess that's the way it is with toys.

This. But also I just want my scopes to not arrive broken.

Anybody hear the plan to adjust the parralax on the duds?

I looked at a functional one last week and in hindsight wished I had asked them to just send me the tool that will turn the dust cover on the parallax assembly and try to do it myself rather than wait 6 months with no answers like I bet is about to happen.

Wait, what's this about/source?

I have found my scope to be extremely durable and without the funkyness that you sometimes get with "other" scopes

You guys can talk shit all you want. Im not retarded. Just placed 5th in open light at a tough nrl shoot with my nx8 on a different gun. My 6.5 creed shoots better then that gun.

Is your scope one of the last shipment? If not then hold your opinions. Its entirely fair to question what we received. Half of them are shit. What other defects might be present?

For the record...

My friend hasn't heard a peep from minox on the return process after he shipped it. Many emails and voicemails.

And I played with mine again during sight in day. Its zero from my last session appears to be relevant still (thankfully). Took it to 720, 800, and 1120 and back to zero and it did what it was supposed to do. Im gonna run it at bartlesville. But its still on probation.
