No, I believe it's the same as the PV (PH). Edited by mike650 - June/08/2008 at 14:45 |

Thanks, I have a Conquest 3.5-10x44 and was looking to replace it with a Swarovski. Have a chance to buy a 3-10x42 AV or (for an extra$500) a 1.7-10x42 Z6 and didn't know if I would be getting much more for the money? Is the AV much better than the Conquest?

You may get a mixed bag of opinions on this one but your Zeiss sounds like a fine scope!! Below may help. It takes into consideration the following: 1. Optical Quality - How bright and clear the scope is. 2. Specifications - Field of view, eye relief, weight, adjustment travel, etc. 3. Durability - How do they with stand the test of time. 4. Special Features & Options - Proprietary items (reticles, design, turrets), Zoom ratio. 5. Warranty & Customer Service - How good are they. 6. Value - Bang for your buck. 2008 Riflescope Rating Scale
