In response to a growing safety awareness and the respective increase in demand from authorities and the law enforcement sector MINOX now presents tactical riflescope models of the established ZE-i line. The scopes have been developed in close cooperation with specialists to meet all professional requirements. Led by the values of German engineering culture, the core features of precision, quality and solidity have been maintained throughout the design process and manufacturing of the new ZE TAC line and are skillfully perfected down to the smallest detail. From fast close-up shots up to the precision shot at long distances, for the long-range hunting and sports shooter the new tactical riflescopes of the ZE TAC line offer the right model for every application.
The four new models are fitted with a 34mm main tube (30 mm in the 1-5x24 model) as well as a 5x magnification range offering the shooter maximum flexibility and precision for close and long range shooting. The large field of view also enables the shooter to take aim quickly with reliable target acquisition. For fast and accurate aiming in unfavorable light conditions the new ZE TAC riflescopes are fitted with an illuminated dot and circle at the second focal plane (1-5x24).
The finely dimmable twilight illuminated reticle at the first focal plane (3-15x56 und 5-25x56) can be adjusted to the ambient light in 11 levels of brightness – this improves the shooter’s ability to find the point of aim in poor light. The illuminated dot is switched off automatically. The user hast two different reticles to choose from: MR10-E and Mildot. The ZE TAC models also feature a Double Turn reticle adjustment with visible windage indicator (Single Turn in the model 1-5x24).
The extended eye relief of 90mm ensures a more accurate shot. The optical components of the new ZE TAC feature the innovative M* coating system – coating of the glass surfaces with up to 21 layers that are adjusted to the different wavelengths of visible light to offer excellent light transmission, contrast, image sharpness and natural color rendition, even under difficult light conditions. The new MINOX TAC Riflescopes are watertight up to a depth of 5 m and are filled with inert argon gas for excellent protection and durability of the elements on the inside. The high quality optical system and reliable precision mechanics are protected by an extremely shock-resistant body made of anodized special aluminum, commonly found in aerospace engineering.

The new MINOX ZP8 is a riflescope of superlative quality and is excellently suited for a wide range of applications featuring an 8x magnification, a high quality optical system, a combination of day-time illuminated red dot and twilight illuminated reticles as well as outstanding operating ergonomics and extreme ruggedness.
The new MINOX ZP8 has a 34 mm main tube as well as an 8x magnification range, offering the shooter maximum flexibility and precision for close range and long range shooting. The large field of view also enables the shooter to take aim quickly with reliable target acquisition.
For fast and accurate aiming in unfavorable light conditions, the ZP8 is also fitted with a finely dimmable twilight illuminated reticle at the first focal plane, in addition to the illuminated dot at the 2nd focal plane. The reticle illumination can be adjusted in 9 (11) levels of brightness – this improves the shooter’s ability to find the point of aim even in poor lighting. Each individual step can be preselected and then switched off to save battery power. The digital electronics system automatically deactivates the illuminated reticle after 6 hours without operation.
The extended eye relief of 90 mm ensures a more accurate shot when situations demand the shooter to take aim fast. Also the smooth magnification setting and easy-to-adjust rubber-armored eyepiece permit quick focusing of the object in view. Changing the magnification is done using an ergonomically designed fin. In this way, alterations to the magnification can be made at any time quickly and accurately – in any situation – when wearing gloves for instance.
The new ZP8 also features a Zero Stop. This enables a fast and reliable zero setting at any time – without having a look. With the Single Turn (ST) reticle adjustment, the selected setting can be viewed at any time.
The new MINOX ZP models are watertight down to a depth of 15 meters and are filled with inert argon gas for excellent protection and durability of the interior elements. The high-quality optical system and reliable precision mechanics are embedded in an extremely shock-resistant body of anodized special aluminum, commonly found in aerospace engineering. This makes the ZP models well suited for use in extremely tough conditions – such as hot desert areas, sub-tropical climates or regions with arctic low-temperatures.
