Minox X-range 10x42

• Integrated laser rangefinder: Measures out to 2800.00 m, so one optic handles both observation and distance reading when judging terrain, locating game, or checking landmarks.
• 10x42 roof-prism format: The 10x magnification gives useful reach for open-country glassing, while the 42.00 mm objective keeps the binocular manageable for long days in the field.
• Angle-compensated measurement: The built-in inclinometer shows distance and angle or horizontal distance, which is more useful than line-of-sight range alone on steep ground.
• Magnesium housing with IPX-7 waterproofing: The light-alloy body, nitrogen filling, and waterproof construction help the binocular stay dependable in rain, cold mornings, and changing hunting conditions.
• Fully multicoated optics with Schmidt/Pechan prisms: This optical system supports a bright, contrast-rich image for more confident identification of detail at first and last light.

About the Minox X-range Series

The Minox X-range series sits in the brand's hunting-oriented binocular lineup as the family built around an integrated laser rangefinder. Rather than separating observation and ranging into two devices, the series combines both functions in a compact roof-prism format intended for hunters and other users who need to assess distance quickly while staying on target. The concept is practical: glass the scene, identify the subject, and confirm the range without changing tools.

Across the series, ED optics, phase-corrected prisms, and the brand's M* multi-coating are used to support image clarity, contrast, and color fidelity. The binoculars also use a magnesium housing, nitrogen purging, and IPX7 waterproofing, giving the series the durability expected from field optics that may be carried in wet weather and rough terrain. The rangefinder system is designed around a clear internal display with multiple readout modes, including angle-related information and horizontal distance. In practice, the X-range series is aimed at users who want one binocular for observation and ranging, with an emphasis on straightforward handling rather than unnecessary complexity.

About the Minox X-range 10x42

The Minox X-range 10x42 is the higher-magnification configuration in this format, pairing 10x magnification with a 42.00 mm objective lens. That combination makes it especially suitable for open ground, mountain hunting, and longer-distance observation where extra image scale helps separate detail from background. The 106.00 m/1000m field of view remains practical for scanning, while the 4.20 mm exit pupil supports a balanced mix of brightness and portability.

Its rangefinding system is what defines the model in use. The binocular measures to 2800.00 m, reads in meters or yards, and shows the result on an internal display, so the user does not need to break visual contact with the scene. With an accuracy of +/- 1 m and a built-in inclinometer, it can display both direct distance and horizontal distance, which is particularly helpful when judging shots or terrain on steep slopes. Because the display is internal and the reticle is not illuminated, the view stays uncluttered and simple.

Mechanically, the binocular is built around a magnesium body with a central focusing system and diopter adjustment on both eyepieces. 16.00 mm of eye relief gives decent comfort for extended viewing, including for many eyeglass wearers. Nitrogen filling, fogproof construction, and IPX-7 waterproofing make the X-range 10x42 a practical hunting binocular for changing weather, while the single-hinge body keeps the shape conventional and secure in the hand.

About Minox

MINOX GmbH was founded in Wetzlar, Germany, in 1945. The company later expanded from its early camera heritage into sport optics and entered that market in the 1990s. Today, MINOX develops binoculars, spotting scopes, riflescopes, night-vision devices, and wildlife cameras, with a product range focused on practical field use for hunting and observation.

MINOX joined the Blaser Group in 2013, a move that strengthened its position in hunting and shooting-related optics. On February 1, 2020, the company relocated to Isny, Germany. Within sport optics, MINOX is known for combining straightforward mechanical design with features that matter in the field, and the ZP riflescope series helped establish the brand's reputation among hunting and sport-optics users.
