oo_buck Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Thinking of buying a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 for my Weatherby Vanguard 30/06. Would like any opinions on these scopes as I've never owned a "high end" scope before. I'm looking at this as a major purchase, and just fishing for comments since I have no experience with these scopes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleA Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Re: Zeiss Conquest..... 00 Buck I just put a 6.5x20x50 Conquest on a 17 HMR and am pleased with it. It's a good scope for the money. This one has the target turrets and a Z Plex reticle. After sighting it in at 100 yards and shooting it out to 250 yards I am comfortable with being able to hit crows way out yonder I have found the adjustments to be very good at repeating themselves. All in all I think you will be impressed. Life is good, Give God the Glory....doubleA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Re: Zeiss Conquest..... I really like mine. I put my 3.5-10x44 on a Rem Model 7 and its a great match. Very good optics, holds zero, and adjustments seem accurate and repeatable. I am very pleased with mine. I would definately recommend it.

EKYhunter Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Re: Zeiss Conquest..... I've never owned one but I've lusted after the same one AJ has at a local gun store. I think that they are an awesome scope. Extremely clear and crisp optics. If I could ever talk my wife in to letting me buy one I'd be in Heaven! If this scope is in your price range I don't see how you could go wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their VMV line is something out of this world, even better than Swarovski's PH series IMO. The conquest line is a great line also, its light weight, compact, has a large field of view & most important it has great low light capability. Anytime you're buying a European scope its for the low light gathering ability. You shouldn't have any problems with it you won't be disappointed. If you can afford it, buy it because it can make a difference if you sit on stand up to the very last legal minute like I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
