Announced on December 18 by Minox – a brand of the Blaser Group of Germany – the 8-24x50 ED is a new, compact and powerful addition to the company's already vast and appreciated line of spotting scope.

Designed for hunters, hikers, bird-watchers and outdoorsmen on the move, the 8-24x50 ED spotting scope combines high magnification, exceptional image quality, and rugged durability.

Featuring a stepless zoom range from 8x to 24x and premium ED lenses, the new Minox 8-24x50 ED spotting scope delivers razor-sharp, high-contrast, and true-to-color images, even in challenging light conditions, at down or dusk. Its maximum field of view of 85 meters (278 ft) and compatibility with bipods or tripods make the new 8-24x50 ED spotting scope by Minox the perfect companion for any hunting situation, whether sstalking or hunting from a hide.

The >85% light transmission level, the new Minox 8-24x50 ED spotting scope ensures outstanding detail visibility, while its IPX7-certified waterproof construction provides reliable protection against the elements.

What tells the new Minox 8-24x50 ED spotting scope apart, on a global market that's already crowded as it is, is the size and weight ratio: extremely short and compact, and weighing in at barely 520 grams (18.34 oz), the new 8-24x50 ED spotting scope can be comfortably carried and used anywhere, particularly on those demanding terrains that require outdoorsmen to travel lighter.

As of today, no manufacturer's suggested retail price has been announced. For further information, visit the official Minox website.
