The Burris Eurodiamond is a very sharp high contrast optic that can take the ppounding of belted amgnums. Burris is a dedicated scope company in th eUSA . Minox has dabbled in scopes and been in and out of the hunting scope business. It too is a sharp high contrast optic. We have several Burris on rifles and never could bring ourselves to buy a Minox. We were worried about warrranties due to the company comming in and out of the scope business. Probably a baseless concern but we worried. The fixed power Burris 2.5X in the one inch tube is mind blowing sharp, hunt that one down, When we found one it was amazing because it is sharp enough to be accurate at 200 yds and sharp up close at 20 yds as well. No adjustments needed and nothing to break. It really opened our eyes to fixed power scopes.
