An ideal general-purpose riflescope, the Minox ZA3 3-9x40 riflescope is designed to meet the practical demands of woodland hunters. The scope's uncompromising performance begins with the glass--the lens system that delivers target-popping contrast and "can't hide" brightness whether dawn or dusk, rain or shine.

The ZA3 riflescope is made of aircraft-grade anodized aluminum, helping it hold up in harsh environments. |
The glass is made by Schott, a German glass specialist for 125 years, and ensures accurate shot placement no matter how challenging the conditions. The scope is also purged with inert argon gas to prevent fogging on the inner glass surfaces and to keep the critical precision mechanisms from corroding. And thanks to the lightweight, incredibly tough aircraft-grade anodized-aluminum body, the riflescope will operate perfectly in the harshest environments and endure the roughest handling.
Additional features include a Minox BDC reticle; a standard 1-inch monotube construction for easy, low-profile mounting; a secure waterproof housing; and no-fault warranty protection. Simply put, Minox will repair any damaged Minox riflescope with no questions asked. (The warranty does not cover fire, theft, loss, or intentional damage.)

About Minox Riflescopes
Deciding which riflescopes to own can be daunting. A riflescope is perhaps the single most importing hunting gear you'll ever purchase, and there are dozens of brands from which to choose, each claiming to be the "best" this or the "most" that. Minox has simplified the process by eliminating unnecessary features and focusing only on the features that hunters want most. This includes special glass from German glass pioneer Schott, fully multicoated lens elements, precise windage and elevation adjustments, up to five times magnification zoom ranges, and argon-purged water- and fog-proof designs, all at surprisingly affordable price points. Minox riflescopes stand distinctly alone in providing uncompromising value for the uncompromising shooter.
