Liked my 1.5-8 Minox just fine.
Liked it a bit more than the Zeiss Conquests I've owned.
Optics and reliability are same same but I preferred the aluminum turret caps on the Minox over the plastic ones on the Conquest.
The 3-15 Minox is just a bad idea as that mag range should have an AO or SF.
Thanks for all the info guys. Getting all sorts of opinions. I personally love leupolds, and agree with those of you about the scope being the most important part. I bought this gun for elk hunting but in next year or two i want to build a 7mm rig for that purpose. Won't sell the weatherby will keep it just to have. Just don't really want to put a $1000 scope on a gun i shoot once a year. Keep all the ideas coming!

You are spot on regarding parallax. My example had awful parallax at 100 yards. I couldn't shoot a group better than 3" and that was with "splitting" the shift on the target to try to aim. It was the first scope to actually give me a headache in less than an hour. Also, when I first mounted it, it had terrible chromatic fringing. The store then told me to release the rings, dial the scope to Max magnification and then re-tighten them. That did resolve this issue, which totally amazed me, but I was concerned about how the scope would fare in drastic temperature swings, since the scope tube is AL and the receiver and rail is steel. When the parallax was added, I had enough.
