Thread: Price points in centrefire hunting scopes

Nice work. There really are some good options on the market now.

Im even sitting on the first samples of a new one that arrived in the country last week

A good helpful thread thanks Bagheera

Re: the Euro Scopes, you missed Minox Scopes off the list. I have owned and used a few of them. Their top of the line (German-made) scopes are the equal of any Leica or Swarovski, which is not surprising given that Minox has a lengthy fine optics history right up there with Leica.

But, different from Leica, Swaro, S & B etc, Minox also makes a range of more affordable scopes (approx.$499 - $899) which I have found to be very good. And they are generally available in NZ.

I have no association with Minox - just thought I would add them to this List.

(Another underrated scope line which I have also found very good and affordable are Burris Scopes, which are on your List.)

$2k in the States. Price would be eye watering here?

$2,999 for the 3-24x50

Priced very well when looking at what they are competing with. Ie z8i
