Professionals and specialists who are serious about longrange shooting have always known how important first-rate optical sights are. But it is not only the optical quality that counts in this segment. Reliable success in tough everyday use requires highly durable rifle scope housings and a robust adjustment mechanism. Another factor additionally comes into play for long-term maximum precision: the reticle positioning in the first image plane. This technically complex solution, which unfortunately also drives up the manufacturing costs of rifle scopes, is superior to a design with a reticle in the second image plane when it comes to repeating accuracy, also with frequent magnification changes.

Caught out in the cold
Reliable shots at a great distance are a challenge that can be mastered only with a lot of experience and the best equipment. The optical sight plays a key role in this, as it has to handle a large number of shots with large calibres as well as the most adverse weather conditions with ease.
In addition to this, the solution with the reticle in the first image plane is required for tactical reticles, as the reticle marks here are in the correct ratio to the distance at any magnification setting. With all these properties and its other features such as the locking dioptre adjustment or the revolution indicator in the height adjustment unit, the MINOX PRO ZP5 is in the top league of the global market today. When it comes to its extreme robustness and the clever housing sealing, which would enable the unit to survive even several minutes of immersion in water without damage, we believe that it even leaves many competitors out in the cold.
