Vector Optics Minotaur 46x60 Gen II SFP Illuminated VEMP-LR 1/8 MOA Side Focus Benchrest 34mm Rifle Scope

Specifically engineered for serious benchrest and long-range target shooters, the Vector Optics Minotaur 46x60 Gen II delivers exceptional clarity, pinpoint accuracy, and mechanical precision—all in a purpose-built fixed-power design.

With a powerful 46x magnification and ultra-fine etched VEMP-LR reticle, this scope gives you everything you need to dominate at the bench. The ultra-small centre dot (0.12 MOA), 1/8 MOA turret adjustments, and side parallax from just 10 yards make it ideal for rimfire, centrefire, and extended-range precision use.

The Minotaur is housed in a robust 34mm aircraft-grade aluminium tube with 40 MOA of adjustment travel, zero-stop elevation turret, and a locking windage turret. The optics are fully multi-coated, producing a bright, edge-to-edge image through the large 60mm objective lens—even at extreme zoom.

While it features red illumination with 11 brightness levels, this is designed primarily for well-lit benchrest environments. Illumination control is highly sensitive and best treated as a secondary function.

Key Features:

• Fixed 46x magnification – Designed for precise target shooting at fixed distances

• 34mm monotube made from aircraft-grade 6061 T6 aluminium

• Second Focal Plane (SFP) – Reticle size remains constant at all times (fixed power)

• VEMP-LR etched glass reticle – Ultra-fine with floating centre dot (0.12 MOA)

• Red illumination – 11 brightness levels + 1 NV mode (best used in bright conditions only)

• Side focus parallax – Adjustable from 10 yards to infinity

• Target turrets – 1/8 MOA click value with 80 clicks per rotation

• Zero-stop elevation and turret lock windage

• Fully multi-coated lenses – Excellent clarity and light transmission

• Shock tested to 1000g – Handles high-recoil calibres (rated for .338 Lapua)

• Waterproof (IPX4), fogproof, and nitrogen-purged for reliability in all conditions

• Long eye relief – 3.8 inches (96mm) for safe, stable viewing

• Built for benchrest, long-range (LR), and extreme long-range (XLR) competition use

Perfect For:

• Competitive benchrest shooters

• Long-range and extreme-range target disciplines

• Precision shooters looking for ultra-fine reticle control

• Users needing fixed, high magnification and ultra-precise turrets

• Shooters who want exceptional optical clarity at a competitive price point

OPW Comments
Please note the operation of the Illumination Rheostat is very sensitive and can be an issue when altering brightness. As the scope is designed for Benchrest where illumination is not a required feature it is best to treat this scope as Non-Illuminated. It is very good value optically as a pure Benchrest Scope.
The use of Adjustable Mounts can be advisable as the internal adjustment of scope is limited to 40 MOA this allows the erector tube to remain optically centred to give optimum optical performance.
The exit pupil is extremely small at 1.3mm meaning that eye alignment is critical for best usage which means this scope is specifically a Benchrest/Long Range Scope used from a stable front rest.

Why Choose the Minotaur?
The Minotaur Gen II is purpose-built for benchrest and long-range target precision. If you're looking for extreme clarity, ultra-fine turret control, and a clean, competition-ready reticle—this scope delivers outstanding value in a specialised package.
