    Posted: May/07/2005 at 21:46

I have a Zeiss Conqest 3-9x40, and a 4.5-14x44

 

Considering getting a 6.5-20x50 scope for LONG range shooting.  I like the weight, optical clarity, FOV, and eye relief a lot.

 

Are there any other comparably (or less) priced scopes in this range that compare?

Leupold VX-III 6.5-20x50 and Burris Signature Select or Black Diamond 6-24 would compare favourably with the Zeiss Conquest and are close to the same price-wise. For varmint shooting I like the new Leupold reticles the best.

First the conquest is a zeiss....yes......but the cheap zeiss....not comparable with the Zeiss made in germany with 30mm tubes and ...much more expensives too ( you get what you pay for..).

Conquest are comparable with leupold vari 3 or burris signature.

Yes, it is a good scope!! I would compare it to the Kahles or the Leupold VXIII.....

Look through the scope before making a comment.  I own both the Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20 and the Leupold MK4 6.5-20 LR.  If we are only talking optics, the Zeiss is better.

feel sorry for those who never owned a Zeiss or Leica.
